Creating a Nolan Cloud Services Account

Once you have successfully installed the package following the previous installation chapter, it will need to be configured.

Locate the Nolan Bank Feeds Setup window by using the Search Option within Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Now, select the link, and click on Sign Up.

You will then be redirected to the Nolan Cloud Services page where you can create a new account as seen below.

Please make sure to use your own details when filling in the fields and selecting Create Account.

 

 

It is IMPERATIVE that the CUSTOMER ticks the Terms and Conditions tick box. This MUST NOT be done by a consultant or third party.

You will then be faced with a screen stating that a verification email has been sent to the email address you entered during the account creation.

 

 

Please see an example of the verification email below.

 

 

Once you have located this email (bear in mind it may have been sent to your junk folder) select the Verify Account link in the email and you will be taken to a page presenting you with a checklist for linking your Dynamics 365 Business Central and Nolan Cloud Services accounts.

Clicking Next will bring you to the following screen where you will need to select which type of account you want to create.

As we are setting up a new Bank Entity, select Banks from the drop-down list and click Next.

 

 

The next screen asks for your geographic region, select the option which applies to you and click Next.

Downloading your first Statement from the Bank

Now that your Entity is set up, you will want to try downloading your first statement. From within the Bank Entities screen, select the Refresh Transactions option as seen below.

 

 

Once the access has been verified, indicated by the Access Status seen above, click on the name of your Entity. This will bring up the following screen which gives a more detailed description of your Bank Entity such as the Accounts against it.

 

 

Now, select the Account from which you want to download your Statement.
