Setting

Description

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.

  • Do not send report emails: The report is sent only to the specified email account for the technician. The technician can then decide whether to forward the report to others, and to whom. This is the default value and should be used if reports should never be sent directly to a customer or another third-party contact.

  • Signature Contact Management: Email the technician, and to the contact or contact list that is set up in Contact Management and that is associated with the location of the service call.

  • GP Internet Addresses: Email the technician who is set up in the Internet Information window in Microsoft Dynamics GP (Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > Company > Internet Information) and who is associated with the location of the service call. Only one contact is allowed for this value.

  • Selected or entered by technician: The technician can select one or more email addresses to send reports or other documents, such as invoices, to appropriate personnel in the organization. The technician can also enter new contacts and customers' email addresses to send them documents. This value applies only to external reports and documents, such as field invoices and the Call Summary report.

    Note: This option allows technicians the ability to add a contact on-the-fly.

InspectionReportEmailMode

Determines when MobileTech inspection reports are automatically emailed. Emails are sent only if Inspection Email Options for the given inspection template and SMTP settings are set up in Inspection Email Options.  Technicians will only receive the reports if the Email Technician checkbox is marked in Inspection Email Options for the given inspection template. See Set Up Email Options for an Inspection Report (optional).

  • Do not send inspection report emails: This is the default value. When selected, the inspection report is not automatically sent. The technician can manually send the report from the device.

  • Send when inspection report is first created: Sends the inspection report when the technician syncs after creating the report. The report is sent automatically to the designated recipients in Inspection Email Options.

  • Selected or entered by technician: Sends the inspection report(s) related to an appointment when the appointment is completed to the designated recipients in Inspection Email Options. The technician can also select one or more Contact email addresses to send the inspection report(s). The technician can also enter new contacts and customers' email addresses. Note: This option allows technicians the ability to add a contact on-the-fly.

ReportEmailAttachmentMode

Determines if multiple attachments are included in one email upon appointment completion. This option is enabled if InspectionReportEmailMode is set to "Selected or entered by Technician".

  • Send individual emails per report attachment: Attaches only one inspection report per email when the appointment is completed. If multiple inspection reports exist for the appointment, an email is sent for each inspection report. This is the default value.

  • Combine inspection attachments to one email: Attaches all inspection reports related to the appointment when the appointment is completed.

  • Combine all report attachments into one email: Attaches all inspection reports and the call, appointment, and/or job appointment summary reports related to the appointment when the appointment is completed. This option does not include field invoices. Field invoices will be sent as a separate attachment.

To be able to attach the inspection and summary reports to one email, both ReportEmailMode and InspectionReportEmailMode need to be set to "Selected or entered by Technician."

ReportEmailSMTPServerPort

The port that is used by the email server. The default port number is 25, but you can change it for your system.

ReportExecutionUrl

The URL for the Report Execution web service. This URL is used by the system to communicate with the SSRS report server to generate the Call Summary report. 

To locate the URL, open Reporting Services Configuration Manager, and then open the Web Service URL section. Use the value from the URLs field, followed by /ReportExecution2005.asmx. Example: http://\{servername}/ReportServer/ReportExecution2005.asmx
