5.Click MPS to open the Configure MPS Systems screen.

6.To configure an MPS feed, highlight it in the list of supported types on the left side of the screen.

7.Ensure that Enabled is ticked.

8.Enter a path that exists on the server into the Directory field. Attachments with the correct extension (either .CSV or .xml) that are extracted from any emails will be saved to this folder.

9.Set up the Meter Read Name mapping. The Jim2 Meter Name should match the name in the contract's Meter Setup tab.

If the Jim 2 black meter is named My Black Meter and the Jim 2 colour meter is named My Colour Meter, the default setup for various MPS connectors is as follows:

10.Select an email account from the Via Email Account list. To set up an email account go to the Email Accounts tab and enter appropriate account details

11. Save the changes and restart JES for the changes to become effective.

Configure the MPS Connector, specifying how the connector finds particular columns required in the file. The location of columns can be specified either by index or by heading, and allows Jim2 to conform to the data, instead of the other way around.

First, add the email address to Jim2 following these instructions. Ensure you have selected Office 365 and the email address is part of your Microsoft Graph Authenticator

Then create a new Jim2 Email Rule to process these emails.

Tick Via Specific Account and select the email address that was created above.

Note : If you have multiple MPS email connectors going to the same email address, you will need to create a rule for each, but also use Subject Contains or Recipient Contains, and ensure the subject or recipient matches. This is to identify which MPS Connector is used to process the email.

Click Next and select Process With MPS Connector in the drop down box. Choose which Connector it needs to process with.

 
Click Finish.
