#### Data Retrieval Setup

The Data Retrieval Setup tab is the place you can configure BrightHub to retrieve new data files from a multitude of different methods. Once configured, BrightHub will retrieve data files that were last modified after the most recent data retrieval setup date. This date is displayed on the section description. A description of each method is detailed below:

**Email**

BrightHub is able to retrieve new data from an email inbox. To set up email data retrieval, an email account must first be configured in the data monitoring tab in the organisation view. Once this is set up, for any station your organisation owns, this mailbox can then be selected in the station data monitoring tab in the drop down "Data Retrieval Name".

Then, to identify the correct email that enters the previously entered mailbox, the "From address" and the "Subject line text" are required. The "From address" is the email address from which the data emails are sent. The "Subject line text" must be a continuous section of the email subject line text that does not change between data emails. E.g. for a ZX lidar copy *“FW: Daily Data: Wind10\_9999@“* from the subject line “*FW: Daily Data: <Wind10_9999@Y2024_M01_D01.ZPH> (Averaged data)*“.

The advanced options allow you to provide a specific file extension that you would like BrightHub to retrieve. This may be relevant if the logger sends more than one type of file and you only want one to enter be processed, for example, a ZX LiDAR might send both .ZPH and .CSV, but you might only require one file extension. If no option is specified here BrightHub will retrieve all files found.

**BOX**

BrightHub uses Box's Client Credentials Grant method of authentication. You must enter your Box client credentials
