Contents of the Communications Form

If you installed Vantagepoint on your own server, use the Communications form to set up email service so that Vantagepoint can generate and send email such as processing error alerts and log-in assistance messages.

If you are accessing the hosted version of Vantagepoint on Deltek Cloud servers, setting up email service is not necessary, and this form does not display.

Field	Description
Email Size Limit (In Megabytes)	Enter the size limit in megabytes for each email message.
Number of Emails at Once	Enter the number of emails that Vantagepoint sends for each batch.
Default Sender for Outgoing Email	Enter the default email address that you want to use when Vantagepoint sends email messages. Vantagepoint also uses this address if an employee sends an email message from within Vantagepoint and that employee does not have an associated email address.
Add DeltekAdmin_ prefix to the Default Sender Email Address	This option is selected by default. For email authentication, Vantagepoint automatically adds the prefix DeltekAdmin_ to the sender's email address. This allows the recipient to validate the authenticity of the sender. For example, if you enter [e-mail] in the Default Sender Email field, the Vantagepoint default sender email address is [e-mail]. Clear this option if you do not want to add the prefix to the default sender email address.
Use Default Sender Email for Reply To	Select this option if you want the default email address for replies to Vantagepoint email messages to be the same as the email address that you entered in the Default Sender Email field. If you want the reply address to be different from the address that you entered in the Default Sender Email field, do not select this check box. Instead, enter a different address in the Default Reply To Email field.
Default Reply To Email	If you do not select Use Default Sender Email for Reply To, enter the default email address for replies to Vantagepoint email messages in this field.
Send Test Email for Outgoing Email	Click this link to send a test email message. On the Test Email dialog box, enter the address to which you want to send the message.
Default Email Recipient for Help Desk	Enter the default email address recipient where Vantagepoint sends help desk concerns.
Send Test Email for Help Desk	Click this link to send a test email message to the default help desk email recipient. Vantagepoint displays the status of sending the test email in a separate dialog box.
Application URL	This field displays the application URL of your Vantagepoint instance. This field appears only if you have an on-premises database and is hidden for hosted versions.
