    Description

    Primary email

    Type your primary email address. The system sends your password to this address if you click the I forgot my password link on the logon page.

    Note: This is the address that appears in the From field when using the Send Email option.

    Alternate email

    If you already entered an alternate email address, such as for your Google Docs™ account, that address appears.

     

    Google Docs email

    If you have already set up access between Aspen and Google Docs, your Google email address appears. To deny Aspen permission to access your Google Docs account, click Remove Access.

    If you have not set up access between Aspen and Google Docs, you can click Add Google Access to go to the Google Accounts page. From here you can sign in to your Google account to complete the setup.

    Notes

    • If you entered your Google Docs address in the Alternate email field, you do not need to re-enter it in this field.
    • This field is on both the Security and Communication tabs and displays the same information. You only need to add or remove Google access on one of the tabs, and the other is automatically updated.
    • Depending on how you set up your Google account, you might have another email address, such as Yahoo! or Hotmail®, linked to your Google Docs.
    • If you do not enter an address in the Alternate email field but do grant access for Aspen to access your Google Docs account, Aspen will automatically populate the appropriate fields for you.
