Bulk Update of Softkey Template

[cristian.munoz]

Hi Guys

I need perform a bulk update of IP Phone 7921 softkey template only, but I don´t know how to do this.

Any idea?

TIA
Cristian.

Not a great answer for this. There really is no way to edit them in bulk. The only way I've been able to do it and it has a capacity to mess up a lot of users. Is to export and edit the file and re-import.

But to be clear it's only a workaround I've ran into this several times where client was wanting to do mass updates to the users softkeys.

Hi

Export/edit/import is a good way to do it if you are handy with CSVs - using Excel tends to scramble the contents so isn't recommended. I wrote some tools to trawl the CSV in a column sensitive fashion to do it neatly.

Another option for you would be to use a little tool I wrote... Take a  look here.

Basically for an input file you would need a line for each device like so

updateDevice,name,SEP123412341234,softkeyTemplateName,TemplateX

updateDevice,name,SEP431243214312,softkeyTemplateName,TemplateY

Thank you for your answer. I´m trying to updating phones using a custom file, but something is missing. The custom file have :

DEVICE NAME,DESCRIPTION,SOFTKEY TEMPLATE
