   4. If you need help with this, please contact your IT Department or Technical Support.
4. Launch the CM Web Configurator located within the Mechanic's Mate Start Menu. (Please note that the < and > signs within the subsequent items denote a text substitution and are not to be included within the actual settings. Double quotes denoting the beginning and end are not to be included either.)
   1. Web Start URL should be set to: "http://<fully qualified domain name of app server >/<virtual directory name>/login.asp". An example would be "http://ns1.southcohospital.com/mechmate/login.asp".
   2. Please enter the Email From Address which is used for email notifications generated by Web Work Requests. If you don't want to use an actual user's account, please use "mmate_auto_notify@<fully qualified domain name of server>"; so that it will be resolvable to the local SMTP service.
   3. Maintenance Supervisor Email should be set to the desired recipient for notification of New Web Work Requests. An example would be "[email protected]". You may leave this field blank if you would like to disable email notification for new work requests.
   4. Corp. Home URL is OPTIONAL and may be left blank. It is only needed when a corporate web page is directly linked to newworkorder.asp(New Work Requests) and the desired behavior is for a return to the corporate web page upon submission of a New Work Request. This feature is NOT applicable if newworkorder.asp is launched in a new browser window.
   5. Please set the Application Paths and Facility Names for your data sets. Entries must be sequential. Application Path should point to the application folder(containing mechint.exe); this would be the parent of the data folder.
