- If a user decides to use Outlook Mail to send view results, note that messages will be sent from the Application Server user's Outlook account and not from the user who originally configured the view. Also, Microsoft Outlook may require that no user be logged into the Application Server in order to successfully generate and send bulk messages at the appointed time. Finally, you may need to reduce Outlook's security settings to allow messages to be sent from Aptify without user intervention.

- When setting up an SMTP server that will send view results as email attachments, keep in mind that the message size limit must be large enough to support the email attachments.
- For example, Microsoft's SMTP Virtual Server has a default message size limit of 2040 KB. However, the size of a bitmap version of a chart view (which is what is attached to an email) may exceed this limit. In this case, the message delivery will fail at the scheduled date and time.
- If using Microsoft's SMTP Virtual Server, follow these steps to configure the message size limit:
- Open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
- Right-click the SMTP Virtual Server in the console tree and
select -- select Properties
from - from the pop-up menu.
- Click
the - the Messages
tab- tab.
- Modify
the - the Limit message size to (KB)
field - field as necessary.
- Restart Internet Services on your computer in order for the new message size limit to take effect.
- When this functionality is enabled, Aptify always generates and emails reports for views, even when the view contains no data. In Aptify 5.5.5, administrators have the ability to control whether an email is sent when a view contains no data. The following metadata items allow for control of generation of reports for dataless views:
