Prolog information
The following are the credentials of John Miller, a user with two communication profile sets:
  • Login name: johnmiller@avaya.com
  • Name of the default communication profile set: Primary
  • Name of the nondefault communication profile set: secondaryProfile

Example of navigation across Excel worksheets

In the exported file, you can use the hyperlink to navigate across worksheets to access various records for a profile data of a user.
In the CM Endpoint Profile worksheet, the Station Site Data and Buttons columns contain hyperlinks to navigate to the respective worksheets. If the child worksheet, for example, Buttons contains only one record in the worksheet for that user profile, the link points to the corresponding record of the user profile. If the child worksheet contains multiple records for that user profile, the link points to the first record in the list.

Example of handling multiple communication profile sets for a user

In the exported Excel file, the system appends the login name with #profileSetName in all worksheets except the Basic and Profile Set worksheets. Appending the profile set name to the login name associates the communication profile set with the user record, for example, jmiller@avaya.com#profileSetName. When you export users in the Excel file, the association is automatic. When you provide data in a blank Excel template that you downloaded for import, you must make the association manually.
Note:
The Profile Set worksheet must contain all communication profile sets of a user, but only one communication profile set can be the default. The Is Default column is set to true only for the default profile.
In the Profile Set worksheet, the two communication profile sets for the user John Miller must contain the following information:
Login Name*
