Bulk Load Templates¶
A Bulk Load Template is a single Excel file containing a single spreadsheet. Exported Bulk Load templates contain a single or multiple Provisioning/Data/Relation models like Sites, Devices or Customers. These are a part of the product and can be generated on demand for the corresponding models within the GUI.
Note
Field data is not exported when exporting the bulk loader for a template, and only the field headings (schema) are imported.
Bulk Loader Template Reference Set¶
A Bulk Loader Template Reference Set is a collection of multiple Bulk Load Template sheets for different models in a single Excel spreadsheet. The Bulk Loader Template Reference Set configures a basic system configuration, including NDL, Customer, Site, and dial plan elements. They provide typical loader templates, but partners may add or delete templates as necessary based on their needs. The Bulk Loader Template Reference Set provides examples of how to populate the various templates.
