Manage ReportIT

The ReportIT Add-In is a licenced extension to Web Map Layers 8.0.

The ReportIT tool allows users to report incidents, issues or problems to a database or a defined email address.

Select Manage ReportIT from the What would you like to do? drop-down menu:

The Manage ReportIT dialog will be displayed:

Send Email

For emails to be sent to specific people regarding an issue, Web Map Layers 8.0 needs to know some information about the mailserver.

In the web.config set the IP address of the SMTP server within the <mailSettings> section by replacing {host} with your SMTP IP address:

<mailSettings>
	<smtp deliveryMethod="Network">	

	      <network defaultCredentials="true" host="{host}"/>
       </smtp>
</mailSettings>

Note: If the ShowImageUpload property is not in the map.aspx add the line as shown above.

Set the ShowImageUpload "true" value to "false", this will prevent the Add image control being shown to the user on the ReportIt form.
