  * In Maintenance | IQXWeb Setup | User Classes  Add IncomingSMS to the permitted jobs for the new user class
  * In the SMSWorks Account | Reply Numbers - set the response URL eg: https://pizza.iqxanywhere.net/job/IncomingSMS, and the Username and Password as set up in IQX Web Setup for each response number (NB in the case of non-Anywhere installations - a separate Hub will need to be configure to handle the incoming traffic)
  * In IQX Maintenance | Agency Setup - ensure that Contact Event Types are set up for SM / text messaging - you probably want incoming and outgoing.
  * Check that the Applicant and other phone types for mobile numbers include the **S** Capability.

  * Against the IQX User record for users who are going to be using Two-Way SMS, set one of the available incoming mobile numbers on the SMS Number view. (This must be done manually using numbers set up on the SMSWorks account web site , the buttons GetNewNumber and Release Number do not currently work).

===== Using =====

Once the system is configured, a mobile phone style icon appears on Applicant / Candidate form next to the Make Contact Event icon. This shows the chat history between the current user and the Applicant / Candidate. All SMS texts (in both directions and from all consultants) also appear in the Contact Event view as normal.
