Default Phone Programming & Button Copy-Paste Functionality

It would be great if there was a feature to set default standard programming for different model phones so as soon as the phone is registered to the account then the button programming would get pushed automatically.

 

Along with that it would be nice to be able to copy and paste button programming from 1 phone to another phone

  • The ability to create templates or copy/paste button configurations to different extensions would be a superb asset for not just efficiency, but also cuts down on potential for typos or misconfigurations.  This is beneficial for all clients that have only a few buttons all the way up to those that have multiple sidecars.

    To expand on this further, if it was possible to import a CSV that would associate/create a User, Device (by MAC), and button configuration that would be an added bonus.

    I have been waiting for a feature like this for years. I have 15 phones that all need about 60-70 numbers programmed into them and must do it all manually.

    I have made some of it the end user responsibility as they can, though the GOTO app, program their own buttons but adoption of that has been spotty at best.

    I just manually added phone buttons to 4 new devices and I came here to suggest this.. An option to  copy from another device would be would be a huge time saver.

    It would be nice to see this added to the PBX, having the ability to take a phone with the properly configured buttons and copy that "master list" to the rest of the phones, or a specific list of phones. Would save a lot of time when doing a batch add/new install as well.

    Being an old phone guy I am not a fan of unused buttons on a phone. I fill all the phones up with Speed dials (BLF/DSS) keys.

    It would sure be nice to have a template I could push to new phones to have them mostly button mapped.

    Also if a global change is needed have to push the change al all (or selected) phones

     

    The options would be either have a dummy button page/template or on the button configure page of all phones add a "copy" option where we can select the buttons to copy and select all the phones we want to push them to
