Welcome to Smoothwall Monitor Self-Service's Online Help

• Email Messages (23542)
  • Under the Reports tab we added a new Email Messages tab, between the Delivery Times and the Custom Pages tabs. In the new tab you can create email templates to include in your scheduled report packs so that when your report packs are sent to recipients the email message is bespoke to the scheduled report pack, see our new online help topic, About email messages.

• Monitor Admin role (14166)
  • We created a new user role so that customers can have an administrator role that can manage users and data for all of their schools within their trust or district. The new Monitor Admin role can create a user with any user role, except another Monitor Admin user or a Technician View user, see our updated help topic, About monitor user management. They can also view all of the pages within the Monitor -Self-Service Portal.
• Web monitoring and Safety module (13403)
  • We have removed the Web monitoring and Safety module from the portal. This was because Monitor - Self-Service is more of a screen scraper for words and phrases and that we have better tools more suited to web monitoring. If you would like to see more about our other products, see our website at smoothwall.com or our User Assistance Resources pages.

• Updated Help URL - (20753)
  • So as to have two versions of the help for customers still on the old platform but to update the help for customers using the new platform, we updated the help like to point at an updated version of the help.

This is now called Websites Not to Monitor.
