Configuration Overview

Administrators with sufficient privileges have access to a number of resources that can be configured for various purposes.

Configuration can include:

• clone and modification of Configuration Templates

• the use of named macros in Configuration templates or resources

• Modification of the Site Defaults Doc

• Modification of the Quick Add Group

By default, VOSS Automate provides a number of defaults in a collection of objects. Some of these defaults, such as the Default Site Dial Plan, are created when a Customer hierarchy is created. When a Site hierarchy is created, the defaults act as templates to provide site-specific values for the use of for example Subscriber creation at site level.

In particular, the following default templates result in site specific instances when a site is created:

• Default Site Dial Plan

• Default Site Defaults Doc

• Default Quick Add Group

Administrators who have access to these resources can customize these templates so that all subsequent sites that are created, have modified site specific instances.

At a site level, the instances themselves can be modified so that subscribers that are added at the site, have these custom values applied to them. Site level modification can thus be made to:

• Site level Site Defaults Doc

  • Contains site-specific values

  • Values are referenced by Configuration Templates at site level

  • Some values referenced by the Quick Add Group, for example Default CUC User Template

• Site level Quick Add Group

  • Contains Configuration templates used when add Subscribers (Quick Add Subscriber)

Customization of resources may involve:

• changing values (optionally using macros)

• changing or replacing Configuration Templates with newly cloned and created ones (optionally using macros)
