Importing dynamic configuration settings using a file in the JSON format

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

Use the following procedures to import configuration settings that are not currently available in Avaya Aura® Device Services. You can perform this task if you need Avaya Workplace Client features with new configuration parameters.

Before you begin

  • Download and use the additional parameter settings file from PLDS. Ensure that the settings file has the .txt extension and that it is in the JSON format. For example, dynamicConfigUpload.txt.

  • If you are planning to import configuration settings that represent passwords, ensure that you:

    • Set the data type to String for all these settings. Settings that belong to the PASSWORD category do not support other data types.

    • Set the category attribute to PASSWORD for all these settings.

      Note:

      The category attribute is only required for settings that represent passwords. PASSWORD is the only supported value for this attribute.

    For more information about the JSON file structure, see JSON file structure.

Procedure

  1. On the Avaya Aura® Device Services web administration portal, in the left navigation pane, click Dynamic Configuration  > Configuration.
  2. On the Configuration page, click Import.
  3. On the Import dynamic configuration settings page, in the Select type of import field, select Import dynamic settings.
  4. Click Browse and select the settings file that you want to import.
  5. Click Import.

    The new setting is added to the existing test configuration at all levels. You can now publish the setting to the required category (Group, User, Platform, Global, Phone Model, or Exception).
