Unity Bulk Edit for message notification schedule

[jkosciuk]

Is there a way via the Bulk edit tool to modify the Notification Schedule for a particular notification device. I have approx 350 users that I need to modify their TOD schedule

No, bulk edit doesn't allow this - you can do it via a manual SQL query, although it's a bit tricky. If you have the device name and schedule you want I can test a query for you and post it here - use at your own risk, though (i.e. get a backup of your DB first).

Has the answer to this question changed with the arrival of Unity 5? I have a customer that has a notification schedule that they would like to modify from the default M-F 8-5 to a 24hr. The message notification is "Text for Cisco unity inbox".

I have Unity 7.02 installed but I am sure it is the same as 5.b It looks like you can modify the schedule of notifications.

Randy and thanks for putting this in.

Yeah, I downloaded the latest Bulk edit tool and I see that they updated that tab to include the time schedule. Thanks for replying.

Hi, I downloaded the Bulk Edit tool too, and indeed it includes a button allowing to change the notification schedule.

The problem is that you can only make your selection field by field. You cannot select a range and select it at once by hitting Spacebar or Enter. I have to change the schedule for 4 notification devices, in 3 Unity clusters. I could click all day and hope I'm finished by tonight, or wait to see if anyone can offer a solution to this. Anyone an idea? Or a workaround?

Perhaps I'm confused - are you saying it will take you all day to update 12 schedules (4 each in 3 clusters)? Really? It's that time consuming to click the squares in the interface there? Or perhaps I'm confused about what you're getting at here.

Understood a "drag" enabled control or a range selector would be handy, but really... all day and night for 12 schedules?

[timpremereur]

Indeed, all day and night is exaggerated, you're right. Anyway, does Cisco have intentions to make work things like this one more efficiently? I really hope so...

If you're using Unity 4.x or 5.x, try the most recent bulk edit tool.

In fact, I'm using Unity 5.x, and I downloaded the BulkEdit from www.ciscounitytools.com couple of days ago. Is that the latest version?
