Kristan Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Hi All, Is there a way I can import from CSV or something a list of extensions and names? I don't really want to be typing in 50 extensions... Thanks, Kristan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Well - sorry at the moment you have to punch in that information one by one... But sounds like something that we can do to make life easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vichy Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Wow.. can I just second the motion for better account creation/managment control. - CSV import would be huge! ...just finished keypunching 95 new accounts. - a search mechanism within the account section would also be helpful Thanks!

It is included in the next 3.0 release. Though it is sooo flexible the documentation will not be easy. And the account index shows the real account names now. No more searching for accounts.

andrewgroup Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Importing accounts will need some additional functionality in the real world. With a soon to be real installation of 100+ accounts, we'll need to have these accounts members of predefined ACD and HUNT groups and many will have DID numbers. We'd like to import from an Excel file extension accounts with first, last, ext, aliases, etc ACD with aliases (as many as 100) 1st, 2nd, 3rd call stages, what extensions can join HUNT GROUP members and call stages What might make sense is the creation of a MASTER excel spreadsheet (Template) for use by all that can be imported by a dedicated function within PBXnSIP. We use a similar tool in our service desk software package. The developers created a series of EXCEL spreadsheets for project, client info, etc... Designing how a PBX should work is far easier on a peice of paper and this is something the client can sign off on, and once completed any changes can be made as a change request. ($$) changes cost money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you can put that into the input form, you need to export it as CSV. Then you can easily copy and paste that into the form on the web. There is still some "manual" work required; however significantly less than punching the information in one by one. Plus you have the flexibility to import also settings like cell phone numbers, MAC addresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
