Using the BAT Spreadsheet to Create User Device Profile CSV Data Files
When you are adding new user device profiles, you can use the BAT spreadsheet. You can define the file format within the spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet uses the data file formats to display the fields for the CSV data file.
For information about locating and using the BAT spreadsheet, see the "Using the BAT Spreadsheet for Gathering Data" section on page 1-11.
To create the CSV data file by using the BAT spreadsheet for adding new user device profiles, use the following procedure.
Procedure
Step 1 Locate and double-click the BAT.xlt file to open the BAT spreadsheet.
Step 2 When prompted, click Enable Macros to use the spreadsheet capabilities.
Step 3 To display the User Device Profiles options, click the User Device Profile tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet.
Step 4 To choose the device and line fields that you can define for each user device profile, click Create File Format. The Field Selection popup window displays.
Step 5 To choose the device fields, click a device field name in the Device Field box, and then click the arrow to move the field to the Selected Device Fields box.
A CSV data file must include Number of Lines as the first field, Device Profile Name, and Description; therefore, these fields always remain selected.
Tip You can select a range of items in the list by holding down the Shift key. To select random field names, hold down the Ctrl key and click field names.
Step 6 Click a line field name in the Line Field box and click the arrow to move the field to the Selected Line Fields box.
Tip You can change the order of the items in the Selected Line and Device boxes. Choose an item and use the up arrow to move the field closer to the beginning of the list or chose the down arrow to move the item to the end of the list.
Step 7 To modify the CSV data file format, click Create. A message asks whether you want to overwrite the existing CSV format.
Step 8 Click OK. New columns for the selected fields display in the BAT spreadsheet in the order that you specified.
Step 9 To locate the Number of Phone Lines box, scroll to the right. The number of lines that you specify here must not exceed the number of lines that are configured in the BAT template or an error will result when you insert the CSV data file land UDP template.
Step 10 You must enter the number of speed-dial buttons in the Number of Speed Dials box. After you enter the number, columns display for each speed-dial number.
Note Do not exceed the number of speed dials that are configured in the User Device Profile template, or an error will result when you insert the CSV data file and UDP template.
Step 11 Enter data for an individual user device profile on each line in the spreadsheet. Complete all mandatory fields and any relevant optional fields. Each column heading specifies the length of the field and whether it is required or optional. See Table 6-1 for descriptions of the fields in the BAT spreadsheet.
Step 12 To transfer the data from the BAT Excel spreadsheet into a CSV formatted data file, click Export to BAT Format.
The system saves the file to C:\XLSDataFiles\ or to your choice of another existing folder on your local workstation. The filename is
<tabname>#<timestamp>.txt
where <tabname> represents the type of input file that you created, such as phones, and <timestamp> represents the precise date and time that the file was created.
You must copy the CSV data file to the Cisco CallManager publisher database server so BAT can access the CSV data file. Using a floppy disk or a mapped network drive, copy the CSV data file from C:\XLSDataFiles\ (or the folder in which you chose to store the file) to the following folder in the publisher database server:
C:\BATFiles\User Device Profiles\
Note For information on how to read the exported CSV data file, click the link to View Sample File in the Insert User Device Profiles window in BAT.

Generating User Device Profiles for User Devices
You can use BAT to set up extension mobility quickly by generating and inserting profiles for all IP phone users. BAT generates user device profiles for all phones, regardless of the number of devices that the user controls. For example, if a user controls two devices, BAT generates two separate user device profiles, one for each device and associates them to the same user. BAT sets one of the generated user device profiles as the default user device profile for the user. BAT generates user device profiles for all IP phones based on the phone button template for each phone model.
Note You do not use a user device profile template or a CSV data file to perform this action. When BAT generates these user device profiles, they are associated with the user.
To generate user device profiles for all users, use the following procedure.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Configure > User Device Profiles. The User Device Profile Options window displays.
Step 2 Choose Generate User Device Profiles and click Next. The Insert User Device Profiles window displays.
Step 3 If you want BAT to generate and insert user device profile records for all phones based on the user's current IP Phone, choose Based on devices controlled by users radio button.
Step 4 If you want the device to use the generated user device profile as the logout profile, check the Set User Device Profile as Log Out Profile for the device check box.
Step 5 Click Insert.
A message displays that tells you the approximate time that is required to insert the records into the Cisco CallManager database. You can cancel if the transaction might cause performance degradation.
Step 6 To insert the phones, click OK or to cancel the transaction, click Cancel.
