Use the feedback_email setting on the Application form to define the email address to which the messages written on the Send Feedback form will be sent.

The default value is DeltekDocumentationFeedback@deltek.com. If you plan to give multiple persons access to the Send Feedback form, you should change this setting to the email address of your Shop Floor Time system administrator.

Configure the Sender’s Email Address

The person who is using the Send Feedback form (the sender of the message) must have his or her email address defined on the Employee form. This email address will display as the “From” address for the Send Feedback messages.

  1. Click Main Menu > Employee Management > Employee.

  2. Select the record for the person who will be using the Send Feedback form.

  3. Click Modify.

  4. Enter the person’s email address in the Email Address1 and/or Email Address2 fields.

  5. Click Save.

When the person uses the Send Feedback form, the feedback message will be sent to the feedback_email (defined on the Application form – see above) and the “From” address will be the person’s email address defined on the Employee form.

The Send Feedback form will first use the person’s Email Address1. If this setting is blank, the Send Feedback form will use the person’s Email Address2. If both Email Address1 and Email Address2 are blank, the Send Feedback form will use the Email Address on the Message Email Configuration form as the sender’s address.
