Quick Add Subscriber

Quick Add Subscriber (QAS) provides a single page where you can:

• Add users to Unified Communications Manager
• Provision a Voice service for Unified Communications Manager users. See Provision the Voice Service for more details.
• Add users to Voicemail and WebEx accounts
• Provision users with services, such as Extension Mobility, Voicemail, Single Number Reach, Webex Teams, and Jabber/Dual-Mode Devices
• Add lines for Unified Communications Manager users
• Associate a Device Pool directly from the interface to a subscriber's newly associated devices or services other than the Device Pool provided in the Site Defaults Doc (SDD) or reference Configuration Template (CFT) in the Quick Add Group (QAG). See Quick Add Subscriber Device Pool for more details.
• Associate Calling Search Space (CSS) values to a subscriber's newly associated lines, devices or services other than the CSS's provided in the Site Defaults Doc (SDD) or reference Configuration Template (CFT) in the Quick Add Group (QAG), by selecting a Class of Service (CoS) directly from the interface. See Quick Add Subscriber Class of Service for more details.

QAS supports many user types, including:

• LDAP users
• Unified Communications Manager integrated users
• LDAP-integrated users on Unified Communications Manager
• Manually created users

If the Default Self-service Language is set on the SDD, Users will be assigned the corresponding Self-service language.

A Quick Add Group (QAG) is a collection of templates that configure the subscriber features, and is mandatory when adding a QAS.

For self-provisioned phones to show as being associated with a Subscriber, perform a Cisco Unified Communications Manager Data Sync after setting up a self-provisioned phone.

Any modifications of the added subscriber and associated services are done from the respective service menu items.

The Quick Add Subscriber input form shows a number of check boxes to enable user services such as Voicemail, Extension Mobility, Single Number Reach, WebEx, CMR, Webex Teams (Webex Teams Quick Add), etc. Selecting certain check boxes exposes additional fields.

If the Entitlement profile selected on the QAS form does not include a particular service, then the check boxes for that service is not available. For example, if the selected Entitlement profile for the Subscriber does not include Voice services, then the check box controls for Voice, Jabber, and Self Service ID will not show on the form. The choice of Entitlement profile will filter the available options in the Phone Type drop-down to show only the enabled devices in the Entitlement profile.

For the Voicemail service, controls will also not be available if the site's SDD has no default value on the CUC Defaults tab for the Default CUC Subscriber Template. This default value (voicemailusertemplate) should already exist on the Unified CM and is automatically populated on an HCS system when a VoiceMail Pilot is created. A Cisco Unity Connection device must also be configured at the related NDL (Network Device List) at site level.

While the GUI hides controls if services are not available, API and Bulk Load operations have Provisioning Workflow checks for the presence of the Default CUC User Template in the SDD and a configured WebEx Server in the NDL before the selected services can be added.

If no Unified CM has been configured at the hierarchy that the Subscriber belongs, then Quick Add Subscriber bulk load transactions and API calls will show a warning message: No Call Manager has been configured.

Webex Teams Quick Add

If you select the Webex Teams check box, the Webex Teams User Template drop-down is exposed. From this, you can select the Webex Teams User Template to use for the user. This selection overrides the default user template referenced in the Quick Add User Group associated to the user. If a Webex Teams User Template is not selected from the drop-down, selection falls back to the Webex Teams User Template referenced in the associated Quick Add User Group. If you want customized values, clone the Webex Teams User Template (Customizations > Configuration Templates) and edit as required.

Quick Add Subscriber Device Pool

A Device Pool contains system, device, and location-related information, and is mandatory when adding a Subscriber using Quick Add Subscriber. A Device Pool can be referenced by:

• Site Defaults Doc (SDD)
• Reference Configuration Template (CFT) referenced in the Quick Add Subscriber Group (QAG)
• Admin GUI (if exposed)

Site Defaults Doc

The Device Pool referenced in the SDD makes sure that a Subscriber's devices are always associated to a Device Pool. If there is no Device Pool referenced in either the QAG or Admin GUI drop-down (see below) the value defaults to the SDD.

Quick Add Subscriber Group (QAG)

The Device Pool referenced by a Configuration Template (CFT) in the QAG takes precedence over the Device Pool referenced in either the SDD or the Admin GUI drop-down (if exposed). See Quick Add Subscriber Group for details.

Admin GUI

An Administrator can expose a Device Pool drop-down on the QAS page on the Admin GUI by editing or cloning the Field Display Policy. See Expose Device Pools and Class of Service in Quick Add Subscriber. The Device Pool drop-down allows an Administrator to overwrite the value in the SDD by selecting a custom Device Pool from the drop-down list. The options available in the list are the site-level Device Pools if they are available, otherwise it displays all Device Pools available at Customer level (NDLR aware).

Quick Add Subscriber Conditions

For details to provision services to users, follow these instructions:

• Provision the Voice Service
• Provision the Extension Mobility Service
• Provision the Voicemail Service
• Provision the WebEx Service
• Provision the Single Number Reach Service
• Provision the Jabber or Dual Mode Device Service
• Provision the Contact Center Agent
• Enable Self Provisioning

When creating users with the Quick Add Subscriber function, consider these conditions:

• A check box called Send welcome email is displayed when you type in a user email address only if the following configuration has been made and is enabled:

  • An SMTP server has been set up (SMTP Server)
  • The Allow email to be sent to user after Quick Add Subscriber on Email tab of the Global Settings is set to Yes for the relevant hierarchy (Global Settings)

  A welcome email is then sent to the subscriber email address using the configured "Quick Add Subscriber" HTML email template that applies to the hierarchy (Email)

• From the Quick Add Subscriber Group menu, create a custom group or use the default group.

• You can edit existing users Cisco Unified Communications Manager through Quick Add Subscriber only if the users exist at the Site level.

  A check box called Include users at higher hierarchy can be displayed by means of a custom Field Display Policy (field name: lookUpForUser, hidden by default), so that the User drop-down list will also show users above the current site hierarchy. This setting is also available for bulk load sheets and API calls.

• A check box called Fail Transaction if user not found can be displayed by means of a custom Field Display Policy (field name: failIfNotFound, hidden by default) to prevent adding users not on Cisco Unified Communications Manager. By default, the transaction will not fail. The option is used for the case where users have not been synced from LDAP to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. This setting is also available for bulk load sheets and API calls.

• LDAP synced or LDAP integrated at Cisco Unified Communications Manager user fields are always read-only and cannot be edited.

• You can associate a Line with multiple phones.

• You can associate a Phone with multiple Lines.

• If you choose to add a Phone for the user, the Phone Name drop-down list will show available phones at the user's site, according to the Phone Type as specified in the Site Defaults for the site.

  The phones available from the drop-down list are those in the associated Quick Add Subscriber Group at the Customer level, which have synced from Unified CM, as well as the phones that are available at the specific site level.

  You can also add a new phone if required by entering a valid name in the Phone Name field. The Phone Name must consist of a prefix, for instance SEP, followed by a MAC address, which is 12 hexadecimal characters. If you enter the Phone Name incorrectly, for example too few or too many characters, then subsequent associated transactions will fail.

• Associate an Entitlement Profile with the Subscriber.

• You can create multiple devices for a user. Therefore, the Voice check box is always visible. When the Voice check box is selected, four optional fields are exposed: Phone Type, Phone Protocol, Phone Button Template, and Phone Security Profile.

• Values set in the Phone Type, Phone Protocol, Phone Button Template, and Phone Security Profile fields will override any existing values in QAG or CFT, as well as the SDD or any other backend CFTs (CFTs that can not be edited). If a field is blank, the existing values in QAG, CFT, SDD or other backend CFTs will be used.

  You can override the default Phone Button Template value by entering a custom value in the Phone Button Template field. The entered value will be applied on Unified CM if the Unified CM allows it for that phone type.

  Note

  To reduce the likelihood of conflicting QAS settings when completing the optional fields mentioned above, we strongly recommend setting the required fields in the order as displayed on the Quick Add Subscriber screen:

  1. Entitlement Profile
  2. Quick Add Group
  3. Voice (Phone Type, Phone Protocol, Phone Button Template and Phone Security Profile).

• You can set only one Extension Mobility profile for a user. Therefore, the Extension Mobility check box is not visible after you create an Extension Mobility profile.

• You can set only one WebEx account for a user.

• See Contact Center Agent Quick Add.

• You can associate multiple Jabber and Dual Mode devices to a user.

• Jabber and Dual Mode devices get the first line assigned to them that is specified in the QAS form.

• You can create a Directory Number in Unified Communications Manager in two ways:

  • By creating a Voicemail Line in QAS.
  • By creating a Line in QAS.

  When you create a Voicemail or Voicemail Line using Quick Add Subscriber, the Directory Number Used field is set to "true" under Subscriber Management > Directory Number Inventory.

• A Directory Number created without any device associations (for example, a Voicemail Line) is tagged under Subscriber Management > Lines as 'DN created without device from QAS.'

• When the Enable Self Provisioning check box is selected, phone lines are added using the Universal Line Template (ULT) referenced in the Self Provisioning User Profile chosen from the Self Provisioning User Profile drop-down list which is exposed upon selecting the check box.

  If a User is added with lines but no devices, then selecting the Enable Self Provisioning check box automatically sets the CUCM User Primary Extension to the QAS line pattern and ULT route partition. If a user is added with devices and lines, then selecting this check box also automatically sets the CUCM User Primary Extension to the QAS line pattern and ULT route partition.

  Choose the required User Profile from the Self Provisioning User Profile drop-down list. The available User Profiles are those under User Management > Self Provisioning > User Profile. A User Profile must be selected when a user is enabled for Self Provisioning. A default User Profile (as shown under Site Management > Site-Defaults) is selected. Change this default if required.

Contact Center Agent Quick Add

refer to UCCX Feature Reference

The Quick Add Subscriber feature supports the easy creation of an UCCX agent.

The Contact Center Agent check box becomes visible if:

• the associated Entitlement Profile has Contact Center enabled - Entitlement Profiles Fields
• a Contact Center Server is available - Contact Center Servers
• the selected user is not already associated with an Agent

If the check box is selected:

• A Contact Center Agent Profile drop-down list is available to select an agent profile.

  Note

  The Contact Center Agent Profile needs to be created before adding the Contact Center Agent from the Quick Add Subscriber feature.

  The agent profile will determine the team, resource group and skills assigned to the newly created agent. See: Agent Profiles.

• The Agent Extension can be selected.

  The extension will be a list of specified Lines, in other words, the administrator must specify the Line to be created or reused before selecting the Contact Center check box.

• The Agent Device Type can be selected: either Extension Mobility or Phone:

  • If Extension Mobility is selected, the Extension Mobility check box is automatically selected.
  • If Phone is selected, the administrator must first enable Voice and specify a Phone to be created or reused before checking the Contact Center check box.

An IPCC extension is automatically managed for the Unified CM user associated with the Contact Center Agent.

Enhanced INI Filtering

If the Enhanced INI Filtering feature is enabled, administrators have access to the Inventory Filter dropdown list menu for lines on the following forms:

• Phones
• Quick Add Subscriber
• Subscribers

The filter would typically be used to show a filtered, shorter dropdown list of directory numbers.

The following options are available in the Inventory Filter list:

• Default

  This filter - enabled by default - corresponds with the standard filter of Directory Numbers:

  • used and unused INI numbers above and at the current hierarchy.
  • used and unused Associated E164 numbers above and at the current hierarchy.

• Show Unused Numbers with Associated E164's (Site Only)

  • Shows unused INI numbers with Associated E164 numbers at the current site only.
  • Format is: <INI number> <E164 number>. Example: 99003 \+279990003.

• Show Unused Numbers with Associated E164's

  • Shows unused INI numbers with Associated E164 numbers above and at the current hierarchy.

  • Format is: <INI number> (used) or <INI number> (used) <E164 number>. Example: 99000 (used) \+279990000.

Quick Add Subscriber Class of Service

A Class of Service (CoS) allows the user to specify a Calling Search Space (CSS) for devices and lines, respectively. A CSS, in turn, is mandatory for lines and devices when adding a Subscriber using Quick Add Subscriber. A Calling Search Space can be referenced by:

• Site Defaults Doc (SDD)
• Reference Configuration Template (CFT) referenced in the Quick Add Subscriber Group (QAG)
• Admin GUI via the Class of Service field (if exposed)

Site Defaults Doc

The Calling Search Space values referenced in the SDD ensure that a Subscriber's lines and devices always have a Calling Search Space associated to it. If there are no Calling Search Space values referenced in either the QAG or via the Class of Service field in the Admin GUI drop-down (see below) the value defaults to the SDD.

Quick Add Subscriber Group (QAG)

The Calling Search Space values referenced by a Configuration Template (CFT) in the QAG take precedence over the Calling Search Space values referenced in either the SDD or the Class of Service via the Admin GUI drop-down (if exposed). See Quick Add Subscriber Group for details.

Admin GUI

An Administrator can expose a Class of Service drop-down on the QAS page on the Admin GUI by editing or cloning the Field Display Policy. See Expose Device Pools and Class of Service in Quick Add Subscriber. The Class of Service drop-down allows an Administrator to overwrite the Calling Search Space values in the SDD by selecting a custom Class of Service from the drop-down list. The Class of Service, in turn, contains a custom Calling Search Space for Lines and Devices respectively. The options available in the list are the customer level Class of Service instances, as created by the relevant administrator.

Expose Device Pools and Class of Service in Quick Add Subscriber

Administrators with access to Field Display Policies (FDP) can expose the Device Pools field and Class of Service (CoS) field on the Quick Add Subscriber (QAS) interface at a specific hierarchy.

1. As an administrator with access to Field Display Policies (FDP), choose Customizations > Field Display Policies.
2. Filter the Target Model Type on view/QuickSubscriber.
3. Depending on which hierarchy or hierarchies the Device Pools or Class of Service field should be exposed in QAS:
   1. If the FDP exists at the correct hierarchy, open it.
   2. If the FDP does not exist at the required hierarchy, clone one of the available FDP's on a higher hierarchy to the required hierarchy (use Actions > Clone).
4. Open the FDP and go to the first group's Available list in the Fields block. Select device_pool or class_of_service.
5. Click on the Select button to move the device_pool or class_of_service label from the Available list to the Selected list.
6. Use the Move up and Move down buttons to move the label to the desired position relative the the other field labels.
7. Ensure that the cloned FDP name is "default", and click Save.

If an administrator is at the hierarchy where the cloned FDP is created or at a lower hierarchy, and then navigates to Subscriber Management > Quick Add Subscriber, a drop-down field with the title: Device Pools or Class of Service is exposed.
