Add a Self-Provisioning Universal Line Template
-----------------------------------------------

The Universal Line Template (ULT) is used before self-provisioning
actually takes place. ULTs are used to create directory numbers on Cisco
Unified Communications Manager. A directory number is identified by a
pattern (the number portion) and a route partition. A directory number
also has various settings that can be configured for the line. When a
directory number is created using a ULT, the ULT determines the route
partition and the line settings.


**Perform these steps**:

1. Log in as provider, reseller, or customer administrator.
2. Set the hierarchy path to the site node where you want to configure
   self-provisioning.
3. Choose **User Management > Self-Provisioning > Universal Line Template**.
4. Click **Add**.
5. Enter the following required Universal Line Template information.
