Field Description
Default Sender Email

This is the default email address that is used when emails are sent by Touchstone.

Email Server

This is the host name or IP address of an SMTP-compliant email server. For example, smtp-mail.outlook.com if you use Office 365.

Port

This is the SMTP port that the SMTP server that you entered above uses. In most cases it will be port 25 but in some cases, port 587 may be required.

Send Test Email

Click to send a test email from the server to the logged in user. If the logged in user does not have an email address listed in EPM Security Administrator, Touchstone displays an error message.

Username/Password

Enter a username and password if they are required by your email provider for sending emails via SMTP. This is a domain username, not a Touchstone username. For example, enter your Office 365 username and password if you use Office 365.

Use TLS

If you use an email provider that uses TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption, such as Microsoft Office 365, select this check box.
