Add phone lines to existing phones using BAT spreadsheet
You can create a CSV data file using the BAT spreadsheet to add phone lines to existing phones.
After you have finished adding lines in the BAT spreadsheet, you can export the content to a CSV formatted
data file. A default filename is assigned to the exported CSV formatted data file:
<tabname>-<timestamp>.txt
where <tabname> represents the type of input file that you created, such as phones, and <timestamp> represents
the precise date and time that the file was created.
The system saves the file to C:\XLSDataFiles\, or you can save the file to another existing folder on
your local workstation. You can rename the CSV formatted data file after you save the exported file to your
local workstation. If you enter a comma in one of the fields, BAT.xlt encloses that field entry in double quotes
when you export to BAT format.
You cannot upload a CSV filename that contains a comma (for example, abcd,e.txt) to the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager server.
If you enter a blank row in the spreadsheet, the system treats the empty row as the end of the file. Data
that is entered after a blank line does not get converted to the BAT format.
