This file describes Switchvox version 8.0 and later. If you are using an earlier version, use SETUP-EXTENSIONS-Manage-Import-Extensions (6.6).
Import Extensions
The Import Extensions tool lets you create and update multiple SIP or Virtual extensions from data in an imported CSV file. To do this, you need an Extension File that is formatted correctly with specific extension information. Then, you can use the Import Extension tool to identify that file, evaluate the extensions that will be created or modified, and perform the import.
...
The first line of the file must be a header line that labels each column. Each subsequent line should be an extension line that contains the values of an extension.
Depending on the type of extensions you are working with (SIP or Virtual) different information is required or accepted. You can use a file that has additional columns of information (Switchvox ignores this information) as long as the required extension information is included correctly.
The order of the labels in the header is not important, but the values of each extension must match the order of the labels.
If you are updating an existing extension and you have some information that you do not want to change, use just the comma with no spaces or text. If you want to make it blank, put a space in that column.
If you have set Switchvox to LDAP mode (Setup > Extension Settings), the header-line must include the label username. Values for username are not required in each extension-line, but the label must be in the header. For examples of a CSV file with username, see Switchvox with Active Directory and LDAP.
When your Extension File is ready, go to Setup > Extensions > Manage and click Import Extensions (see “Import Options”).
