The **Dial Plan Management Tool** menus provide access to enhanced dial plan management 
functionality: 

.. important:: 

   By default, the Dial Plan Management Tool and associated menus is visible in 
   an Enterprise environment, and hidden on Provider deployments. To expose this 
   feature on Provider deployments, set the Global Setting "Enforce HCS Dial Plan" to *No*.
   For details, see:
   
   * :ref:`nextgen-dialplan-access-profile-changes`
   * :ref:`nextgen-dialplan-menu-layout-changes`


* **Dial Plan Maintenance** - this menu provides an interface for the dial plan you configured to be pushed to or removed 
  from the selected, target CUCM cluster or Microsoft tenant.

  The hierarchy on which you push or pull the dial plan filters the list of dial plans, based on the 
  dial plan type created on the dial plan models (Cisco or Microsoft). 

  This utility can also be used to push a dial plan to the cluster
  for inspection and then to remove it again, provided no
  elements were added to the CUCM cluster or Microsoft tenant that rely
  on the dial plan elements. For example, adding phones on CUCM that would lock CSSs and partitions.

* **Dial Plan Viewer** - this menu provides a read-only view of all the dial plan elements of a
  selected dial plan you configured with the Dial Plan Management Tool. The contents of this view corresponds
  with the view of a dial plan schema, but in a format that is easier to inspect.

  .. note:: 

     Details in the Dial Plan Viewer are read-only.

* **Delete Dial Plan Model** - this menu allows you to delete an entire dial
  plan you configured. All dial plan model elements associated with the
  selected dial plan model are removed, as well as the dial plan model
  itself.

* **Dial Plan Input Data** (Cisco-only) - an interface allowing lower level 
  administrators to easily set up data to be added to either global
  or site level dial plan types. Custom dial plan data can also be included.

  In the individual dial plan elements, the values entered here are then
  referenced with macros, so that shared dial plan data can be 
  managed efficiently. 

* **Cisco Dial Plan Models** / **Microsoft Dial Plan Models** - a list of menus to manage elements of
  dial plans created with the feature. Individual elements - such as route patterns, SIP trunks, and 
  translation patterns - are accessible for management via their menus.

* **Dial Plan Log** - a read-only record of Push and Remove operations
  carried out from the **Dial Plan Maintenance** menu. Recorded details include 
  time and hierarchy of operation, target CUCM or Microsoft tenant, and dial plan name.
