Quick Add Subscriber Group

.. index:: Quick Add Subscriber (Feature);Feature Quick Add Subscriber Group

Quick Add Subscriber Groups allow administrators to group feature and
configuration templates for use with the Quick Add Subscriber and Add
Subscriber Wizard functions. This grouping helps to quickly and easily
configure subscribers.

For example, if you want to add 100 back-office users and 50 sales users:

* The back-office users all use the 7965 phone with SCCP protocol and no
  services.
* The sales users all use the 8865 phone with SCCP protocol and Single
  Number Reach service.

To quickly configure these two groups, create two Configuration Templates:

* One for the 7965 phone with no services for the back-office users.
* One for the 8865 phone with the Single Number Reach service for the
  sales users.

You also create two Quick Add Groups:

* One for the back-office users which reference the back-office user
  Configuration Template.
* One for the sales users which reference the sales users Configuration
  Template.

You can manage Quick Add Group templates from the **QAG Settings** menu.
To easily identify a Quick Add Group from the drop-down when
managing Quick Add Subscriber Groups, a best practice naming convention
here could include a pattern: 

*<friendly hierarchy name>-QAG-<user type>-<phone-template-name>-[description]*

For example, ``GeoLogic-QAG_BasicUser - 69XX SIP - CallWaiting``

For details on selecting these templates for a Quick Add Subscriber Group,
see: :ref:`workflow_for_creating_quick_add_subscriber_groups`.

When adding subscribers with the Quick Add Subscriber and Add Subscriber
Wizard functions, choose the appropriate Quick Add Group for the user you
are provisioning.

All subscriber services use configuration templates that belong to a Quick
Add Group.
