<div dir="ltr">This is really good advice, and how I always build out a system. You not only have devices to import, but line association, end-user update (add device association to the end user) and unity connection imports.

Insert a few input columns to the left of the actual data, and then drive your entire spreadsheet with formulas. This will save you from having to constantly scroll left and right look for cells you need to fill in. You will have to exclude them when you export/save as csv. However, keeping the input columns together on the left should make this very easy. You can duplicate the sheet and delete them, you can have two different files: XLSX and CSV, you can copy and paste into Notepad++ and CTRL+H replace tabs (\t) with commas (,). There's a few options there. Anyway, I find it much nicer to input the data this way. I hope it helps you too.</div><div><br></div><div>Do this:<br></div><div><br></div><div><div><img src="cid:ii_k0i7uiht0" alt="image.png" width="414" height="153"><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>Not this:</div><div><br></div><div><div><img src="cid:ii_k0i7urqz1" alt="image.png" width="415" height="153"><br></div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Sep 12, 2019 at 7:24 PM Lelio Fulgenzi <<a href="mailto:lelio@uoguelph.ca" target="_blank">lelio@uoguelph.ca</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

We really need to start to minimize the amount of custom scripts / programming that we use, not increase it.

</div>
<div>It’s a bit of a long story.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I need to use the built-in tools. </div>

It’s been a while since I’ve used Bulk Admin Tool.

</div>
<div>Wondering how it might help with our Jabber deployment. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m thinking, since our requests will come in one at a time, the best approach would be to create a BAT file that has a line for each device type. We’ve decided to load all types so users can switch devices out/in as they wish. </div>

<div>Can you bulk load _without_ using a template?</div>

<div>What have others done with respect to Jabber bulk loads?</div>
