(alphanumeric values, options list, dependences of certain data families).
All creations must be made in Excel format.
Back up systematically the latest version of these files before converting them to .csv
format.
Use only a blank form (basic form) for each new creation meant for a new massive import.
Do not re-use an old file already subjected to massive import.
For cells involving an options list, see the options offered in the menu in question so as to
respect the syntax (see also the next sections).
The cells to be filled in must be in text format, to avoid random changes resulting from the
default settings of Excel (010 which becomes 10 in column F in the previous example).
Depending on the system configuration, some columns do not need to be filled in (single-
company, extension characteristics, rights, etc.).
Some columns and associated cells are hidden intentionally in the original form, to
improve display. These fields correspond to those not modifiable from AMP menus.
The characters used must be alphanumeric characters (the same syntax as for Aastra
5000 system management).
The massive creation parameters to be filled must be written within the current AMP
language. (Example : in French, OUI, NON, Liste rouge. In English, YES, NO, red list,
etc.).
Important : Enter YES in the Confirmation column for each line to be taken into account
in massive creation (before saving it in .csv format). If these cells are not filled
in, they will not be taken into account during massive import.
