 #* If you have several templates being uploaded at different intervals you might choose names like "webtagsRealtimeT.txt", "webtagsNormalT.txt" and "webtagsEoDT.txt".

+=== Cumulus 1 ===
 Here is a screenshot for Cumulus 1 using the name as "cumuluswebtags.txt" if you are basically using the provided code).[[File:ScreenShot-PHPWebtags-ConfigSetup.png|right|'Screenshot top and bottom extracts Cumulus v1.9.4']]
 #On the 'Cumulus main screen', in the '''Configuration''' menu, select the ''Internet'' option;

 #** -- this tells Cumulus to output the web page using the standard UTF-8 encoding as used by its standard files;
 # Finally, click on the lower-right '''OK''' button to save the newly entered settings.
+=== Cumulus MX ===
+It is broadly similar for Cumulus MX.
+# Select '''Settings''' menu in the user interface, then select the ''Extra Files'' page. Scroll through to a page with empty rows if necessary.
+# The local file name column does not have the browse selection available in the equivalent Cumulus 1 feature. So be very careful that you type in the full path correctly. You don't need a drive selector, Cumulus will assume the file is on same drive as the MX executable, so only specify drive if it is somewhere else. You might have a feature that allows you to do a list of files and for the file picked show its path, if so you can copy that path into the box in the Local files column.
+# The remote filename column needs to contain the FTP path and required destination file name if you want Cumulus MX to FTP the processed file to your web server. If you have your web server on the same local network as the device where you run the MX engine, then MX can use copy to transfer the file to your web server and you need the full path and file name relative to where the Cumulus executable is stored (again you don't need the drive if same drive).
+# You must have a tick in the process column, your template file (or files) will not be valid PHP until Cumulus MX has processed it and each PHP variable has a value.
+# If you want your file processed and uploaded at the real-time interval you put a tick in the realtime column.
+#*Note that Cumulus cannot process a file at the real-time interval unless you have enabled the real-time timer ('''Internet settings''' page, ''Web/FTP settings'' section, tick '''Enable Realtime''')
+#*Note that Cumulus cannot upload a file by FTP at the real-time interval unless you have set a FTP process to happen at real-time interval ('''Internet settings''' page, ''Web/FTP settings'' section, tick '''Enable realtime FTP''')
+#Unless your web server is on the same local network as your Cumulus software, tick the '''FTP''' column.
+#If you have followed the instructions above and saved your file in UTF-8 encoding, tick the '''UTF8''' column.
+#Leave the '''Binary''' column unticked.
+#If you have not ticked the realtime column, your file will be uploaded at the normal uploading interval unless you tick the '''End of Day''' column. If you do tick here, then your file will be uploaded right at the end of the rollover process, at this stage Cumulus will have the new date in every date type tag, it will have initialised the monthly tags to be empty, and the yesterday tags will have been set. In other words, you will only use this option if you have other web tag templates being uploaded during the day.
