Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Workplace Connectors > Provider Connector Configuration.
2. Select New.
   On the form, fill in the fields:

   Table 1. Provider Connector Configurations

   Field	Description
   Provider	Name of the environmental sensor data provider. This field is auto-filled when the provider (for example, Metrikus Spoke).
   Source Type	Option to specify the endpoint using which Workplace Connectors retrieves data from Metrikus or other environmental sensor data providers. Following options are available: Table Webhook External RestAPI-Pull For example, select RestApi-pull
   Active	Option to select active provider connector configuration data. Only active records from the Provider Connector Configuration table are added or updated in the Provider Space Mapping table. By default, this option is set to false. Set this value to true.
   Connector Configuration	Option to select required sensor items from the Connector Configuration table. For example, environmental.
   Auto-refresh locations	Option to auto-refresh locations when spaces are added or when some spaces are removed from a selected location. The scheduled Job Refresh Provider Space Mapping records runs daily and reads the Auto Refresh Location field in the Provider Connector Configuration table. It reads all records in the Provider Connector Configuration records and updates the Provider Space Mapping table with the latest data. For example, if a new floor or a space is added to a location, then they're automatically added to a selected location.

3. Filter spaces using the Space Filter Condition.
   Select Preview to see the results that your filter condition query returns. Select the link to view the matched space records in Workplace Connectors.

   For example, select [Space] from the list. Select the filter condition as [is] and manually enter the spaces [A1.001, A1.002, A1.003].

   When a row is created or updated in the space filter conditions, the space records that meet the condition are loaded in the Provider Space Mapping table. A business rule runs in the background to fill the selected space records in the Provider Space Mappings table. For more information, see Configure Provider Space Mapping for occupancy data.

4. Select Submit.
   When a records are updated in the Provider Connector Configuration table, the selected spaces or location records are updated in the Provider Space Mapping table. The location records are updated with the location hierarchy (Region, Campus, Building, floor, and space records).
