Create text-based CSV file for Phones
You can create a CSV text file for phones, IP telephony devices, and user combinations using a text editor,
such as Microsoft Notepad.
Instead of using the BAT spreadsheet for data input when you are adding phones, you can create the
comma-separated values (CSV) file using lines of ASCII text with values separated by commas. There are
different CSV data file formats for different phone types. You must use the appropriate phone file format for
the CSV text file.
Cisco recommends uploading Text-Based CSV files saved in the UTF-8 format only, as characters other
than ASCII characters can be stored in this format. Text-Based CSV files saved in formats other than
UTF-8 may render garbled when downloaded from Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Note
Procedure
Step 1
Open a text editor or any application that allows you to export or create a text-based CSV file.
Step 2
Use a separate line to enter the values for each phone, IP telephony device, or user combination that you want
to add to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. You must create separate CSV files for each type of device.
Keep in mind the following rules when you create the CSV data file.
• Always include comma separators, even if a field is blank.
• Specify the user ID if the phone is to be associated to a user.
• Directory Number fields are optional only when you are creating the CSV file for use with a BAT
template that has no lines. If lines are configured on the BAT phone template, you must supply directory
numbers in the CSV file for each device.
• An error occurs when you insert a CSV file with blank lines.
