Using TNA 2000 you can send reports to other people via Email. The report can be sent either as a text file, or as a PDF (Portable Document Format) file. As reports can be scheduled to print automatically at certain times, these reports can be set to print to Email, thus reducing the number of printers, and paper required.

Configuration

In the Configuration module, you need to set the Email settings. Go to the Setup menu to the Options option. Then select the Email tab. You will need to set:

• SMTP Server. This is usually a 4 part number which looks something like 192.168.2.123  This number is usually available from the person or company that supplies your email. If you are unsure of what this number should be then ask the person who configures your normal Email system.
• SMTP Port. This is usually 25. Only set it to something else if your SMTP server uses a different Port.
• Email From : Many Email servers will not send Email, unless there is a valid "from" address. Enter your email address here.

When Printing

When you print the report you have the option to print to a Printer, a File, the Screen or to Email.

If you select Email then you will need to fill in the email address of the person who is due to receive the report.

If you print to the Screen, then you will also have the opportunity to Email the report from there. Simply click on the EMail button, and enter the To-Address.
