4. Enter the desired email address in the Support E-Mail field. This email address displays on the LCMS Home page. Note: Leave this field blank to use the default email address.
5. Enter the desired email address in the E-Mail From Address field. This email address will display in the From field on system-generated emails such as user notifications and review reminders.
6. Enter the desired location for the wkhtmltopdf tool in the wk<html>TOpdf field. Note: To render HTML into PDF, the LCMS uses wkhtmltopdf, which is an open source (LGPLv3) command line tool. This tool is installed during the installation. The default location where the tool installs is C:\Program Files\. To change the location, enter the desired path (actual location) in the wk<html>TOpdf field. Ensure the path name ends with a back slash (\) (i.e., C:\NewPath\).
