Export Option
If this option is selected when exporting to ddiplan.out.txt a space will be added to telephone numbers
between the first 0 and the next digit so that Microsoft Excel, for example, will not treat the entry as a
number and remove the 0.
Users
Export
The Export option will copy all Users stored on the database to a file called users.out.txt. This file will be
stored in the ftp directory of the Call Server, which can be accessed via FTP using a browser or Command
Prompt as described in the Admin Access to a Call Server section on page 252.
If an existing users.out.txt already exists this will be overwritten. You may wish to make a copy of this file
before performing an Export.
If you wish to open users.out.txt in Microsoft Excel, for example, change the file extension from “.txt” to
“.csv”.
This file can be used for managing a list of Users as a database or spreadsheet application will allow you
to quickly and easily search, for example, which Users have been configured with a MessageBox licence.
Export Option
If this option is selected when exporting to users.out.txt a space will be added to telephone numbers
between the first 0 and the next digit so that Microsoft Excel, for example, will not treat the entry as a
number and remove the 0.
