Other record creation methods

Procedure

  1. Import records
  2. Automatically create records

    There are scenarios where new records are automatically added to the configuration:

    • Certain default records are added to the configuration when a new system is started or when a system configuration is erased.

    • New records for extensions and lines are automatically added to match the hardware present when a system is started or rebooted.

    • For telephones connected via IP links (H.323, SIP and DECT), the system can be configured to automatically create extension and or user records to match the telephone.

  3. Use templates to create records

    • Manager supports a number of methods by which new records can be created from templates. See Working with Templates.
