Auto Fill Selection

The Auto Fill Selection function allows you to quickly complete the following fields across a selection of user entries in the Bulk User Provisioning tool:

Role
E-mail Address
Login ID
Directory Numbers.

On a new system, if you have a database that contains only user names, you can use roles and templates in combination with Auto Fill Selection to complete user and services provisioning. After you create the roles and templates, use Auto Fill Selection to assign user entries in the Bulk User Provisioning tab with roles, directory numbers, and e-mail addresses.

Auto Fill Roles

In the left-most column, check the boxes of the user entries that you want to auto fill.

Note: Any existing role would be overwritten with the new role.
Click Auto Fill. The Role fields for the selected entries are updated with the new role.
Click Save. The Operation Progress window is displayed. When the operation is complete, the directory is updated with the user entries. The user entries contain the template data of the assigned role.

Auto Fill Directory Login ID
