Subscribing for the First Time

Two-Way Email provides a subscription page accessed from a Web browser. You can display the subscription page on your desktop, laptop, or any handheld device that supports the Web.

Use the subscription page to independently subscribe to Two-Way Email for the first time.

On the subscription page, you must supply a valid Managed Reporting user ID and password. You must also supply a WebFOCUS Reporting Server user ID and password, unless they are stored for you on the server. If you do not know the required security information, ask your Managed Reporting Administrator for it.

After you subscribe, you receive a confirmation message through e-mail. After you reply to it, Two-Way Email sends you all the templates you are authorized to use.

Procedure: How to Subscribe for the First Time

Your site has a Web address for the Two-Way Email subscription page. Ask your Managed Reporting Administrator for the address if you do not know it.
From your browser, access the subscription page by entering the Web address. For example,
```
http://hostname[:port]/rc_context_root/twoway/mobile/twoway.htm
```
where:
hostname[:port]
Is the host name and optional port number (specified only if you are not using the default port number) of the Application Server where the ReportCaster Web application is deployed.
rc_context_root
Is the site-customized context root for the ReportCaster Web application deployed on your Application Server. The default value is rcaster.

Enter your Managed Reporting user ID and password as assigned by the Managed Reporting Administrator.
Click Subscribing to Two-Way Email for the first time, as shown in the following image.

Click Continue.
A window similar to the following image opens.

If applicable at your site, select Default to use the WebFOCUS Reporting Server user ID and password stored for you on that server. Otherwise, enter your security credentials for the WebFOCUS Reporting Server.

Enter your e-mail address. Two-Way Email will use this address to send you Two-Way Email templates and WebFOCUS reports when you request them. The syntax is:
```
