The following options are also available:

Define the SMTP server (originally defined during installation)—This is the email server to which email notifications are sent.

Search Frame Logo—By default, the FootPrints logo is displayed in the top left corner of every FootPrints page. This can be changed here to your company logo. The image must be no larger than 180x68 pixels. In addition, by default the logo is a clickable link that connects to the BMC web site. You can change the destination of this link to your own web site or disable the link altogether. Logos can also be defined per workspace on the Workspace Options screen.
Login Screen Logo—This image can also be customized. It can be any size.
Currency Symbol—Change the default currency symbol displayed in Time Tracking reports. Any symbol can be entered and you can select to display the symbol before or after the currency amount.
