Quick Add Subscriber Groups

Full HTML Help

Overview

A Quick Add Group (QAG), also called Quick Add Subscriber Group, is a collection of configuration templates (CFTs) that configure the subscriber features.

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

Using CFTs and Quick Add Groups to Add Subscribers

Example 1 - Two user groups with different phones and services

In this example we're adding a group of 100 back office users, and a group of 50 sales users. Each group will be assigned a specific phone type, and either has or does not have specific services:

To configure the Example 1 scenario:

1. Create two configuration templates (CFTs):
   • For the back office users, create a CFT for the 7965 phone, with no services.
   • For the sales users, create a CFT for the 8865 phone, with SNR service
2. Create two Quick Add Groups:
   • For the back office users, create a QAG that references the CFT you created for the back office users.
   • For the sales users, create a QAG that references the CFT you created for the sales users.

Example 2 - Users with phone type 6911 and SCCP protocol

In this example we're adding back office users with a 6911 phone type using SCCP protocol and a voice account.

To configure the Example 2 scenario, add the Quick Add Group, and choose these configuration templates from the CUCM and Webex template group on the form:

• Phone Template - select the Backoffice Phone 6911 SCCP CFT from the drop-down of available CFTs
• Line Template - select the Default CUCM Line Template CFT from the drop-down of available CFTs (this CFT associates a line with the phone)

Quick Add Groups Naming Convention

The best practice naming convention recommendation for Quick Add Groups may use the following pattern:

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

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

Quick Add Groups Named Macros for Quick Add Subscriber

When using Quick Add Subscriber (for Microsoft, Cisco, Webex Teams, or Hybrid subscribers) you'll choose a Quick Add Group that assigns services and sets up the subscriber.

Quick Add Groups contain one or more configuration templates that defines how the subscriber is assigned services. Named macros are used in the configuration templates. A default named macro is associated with each of the following Add Subscriber scenarios:

By default, the values of these macros are set to be the first Quick Add Group found up in the hierarchy:

{{ fn.one data.QuickAddGroups.group_name | | direction:up }}

However, these named macros can be cloned to a hierarchy and modified in order to provide a reference to a specific default Quick Add Group to apply, as required.

When adding subscribers (with Quick Add Subscriber or Add Subscriber), choose the appropriate Quick Add Group for the user you're provisioning.

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

Also ensure that the offboarding configuration template is configured to offboard and de-provision as required, and associate the CFT with this Quick Add Group. See Quick Offboard Subscriber

Quick Add Subscriber Groups Vendor Filtering

Quick Add Group selection in the VOSS Automate portal takes place for Quick Subscriber management. In these cases, the list of available Quick Add Groups to select will be filtered in accordance with populated entries in the Quick Add Groups themselves

The following list shows the corresponding Quick Add Groups fields to allow filtering for each activity:

• Cisco Quick Subscriber: CUCM User Template
• WebexApp Quick Subscriber: Default Webex App Calling Template
• Microsoft Quick Subscriber: MS 365 User Template and MS Teams User Template

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: 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.
