Configuring the EmailRecipient

Two EmailRecipient components send email from the system. One is in the email palette. This component manages alarms that are configured to be sent via email. The second is in the report palette. It manages the sending of reports to one or more specific email addresses.

The EmailService and ReportService are available in the station’s Config > Services container.

You have a Gmail account created.

You are not on a network or VPN with restricted access to Gmail.

  1. Right-click the EmailRecipient under ReportServices or EmailServices nodes and click Views > Property Sheet.
    The Property Sheet opens.

  2. Enter the name and email address of recipient(s) configured in outgoing email service.
  3. Select OutgoingAccount from the drop-down list for Email Account and click Save.
  4. To send alarms via email right—click EmailRecipient > Actions > Route Alarm.
    This triggers an email to the recipient email Id.
  5. Do the same for the alarm EmailRecipients.
