Hi guys,
There will bre great to add this feature to VITALPBX since the FXXX PBX (FROG LOGO) already have it (using extra modules).
The idea is to have the BULK Tools to add huge amount of DID numbers. Example this week I had a client with 102 DID’s and was force to add it one by one.
Also the Inbound Bulk feature will help in cases like that too.
The bolded for me. But yes, valid request especially for new implementations where you are moving a customer from an existing system
Every DID was pointing to the same destination? If not, even importing the DIDs, you would have to update the destination after importing them.
other asterisk pbx have both options on bulk DID import.
This can be super useful when you try to migrate from another pbx to vitalpbx
Again, importing DIDs will only allow you to have a unique destination for all of them. So, after importing them, you will have to update the destination in case you need different destinations per DID.
Understand
But will help a lot at least have the tool to import in bulk the did list
I think what they are asking for is a feature where you could export or import a spreadsheet of DID’s in a specific formatted order. This would allow you to create a spreadsheet and set destinations, etc., and then import it into VitalPBX.
It would also be useful for extensions and some other parts of the system.
Some other Asterisk-based systems offer a means to do global exports or imports via CSV files. It speeds up conversion from another system to VitalPBX and would be an asset to your system.
The database structure doesn’t allow you to define destinations via CSV. This why I am indicating that importing inbound routes will allow a single destination only. So, later, you will have to update the destination one by one.
