User guide

Add users
You must create a CSV data file to add new users in bulk to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
database using the BAT spreadsheet. For users who have applications that require a CTI port, such as
Cisco IP SoftPhone, BAT can associate CTI ports to existing users.
Procedure
Step 1
Create a comma separated values (CSV) data file to define individual values for each user that you want to
add.
Step 2
Use BAT to insert the users in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.

Create user CSV data file from BAT spreadsheet
You can provide details for adding new users to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database in the
BAT spreadsheet and then convert it in to a CSV data file.
If you enter a blank row in the BAT spreadsheet, the system treats the empty row as the end of the file
and does not convert data that is entered after a blank line to the BAT format.
Note
After you have finished editing the fields to add users 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.
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.
