Rick Guyton Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 Hey provisioner team... You know what would be really awesome? If you could assign a username to a BLF key. Normally you'd setup a BLF key, then in the label section typing "102 Jenny", then in the value section "102". Instead, it'd be great if you could just pick Jenny out of a list.I know what you are thinking... Rick that's kind of stupid, it wouldn't really save very much time. Yea, your right... Until Jenny leaves and is replaced by Sara. Now, I just have to rename Jenny to Sara and all 512 phones I've already configured with Jenny's name automatically update.What think?
Karl Stallknecht Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 Hmm, I'm trying to think about how this would be engineered. Where would the "list" come from or get its data from?I agree though, it would be useful to avoid having to replace BLF on many of the same model phones.
Administrators Darren Schreiber Posted May 12, 2016 Administrators Report Posted May 12, 2016 You've hit the nail on the head actually. That's the hard part, and why we didn't do it that way. The fields don't have relations and auto-updating ALL phones with a single change to one user is kind of risky.
Karl Stallknecht Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 Darren: I think this could tie into being able to copy or replicate BLF fields across the same model of phone.https://helpcenter.2600hz.com/2600hz/topics/line-key-settings-in-account-settingshttps://helpcenter.2600hz.com/2600hz/topics/additions-to-provider-account-settings-in-advanced-provi...Do you have a JIRA ticket number for this?
Administrators Darren Schreiber Posted May 12, 2016 Administrators Report Posted May 12, 2016 Not sure, do you want to file this as a feature request in JIRA? I still am not sure we will be able to do this anytime soon, we're trying to get ATAs added ATM.
Karl Stallknecht Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 Oh, I thought you already did. Aaron said he was going to and you (Darren) said "I think we will do the copy phone thing but AFTER those two items" so I presumed it had already been added.
Administrators Darren Schreiber Posted May 12, 2016 Administrators Report Posted May 12, 2016 We may have gotten sidetracked with all the bug reports that came in. There's nothing stopping you from searching JIRA first :-) If you don't find it there, it would be a fabulous help if you filed it.
Karl Stallknecht Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 10-4, sorry for the confusion I just assumed it was already there! :-)
Karl Stallknecht Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 Darren: should I file this under Kazoo or UI? It's both I think?
Administrators Darren Schreiber Posted May 12, 2016 Administrators Report Posted May 12, 2016 Probably UI I guess. They'll move it if it's wrong.
