ReportEmailMode | Determines how to handle automated emails of reports and other documents, such as invoices. Reports are always sent to the email account that is specified for a technician when the technician is added to MobileTech (MobileTech Administration > Users). Each technician's email address is also their logon account, and that is the email address that is used to send reports to the technician.
The Select or entered by technician option allows technicians the ability to add a contact on-the-fly. |

Example: http://\{servername}/ReportServer/ReportExecution2005.asmx |
