Performing Bulk Operations for Users  
Bulk provisioning functionality in the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool allows you to add or modify a large  
number of users or a large number of phones/device profiles (and the corresponding configuration  
settings). Before you perform any bulk operations, review the “Overview of the Comma Separated Value  
(CSV) File” section on page 8-5, which describes the CSV file format and caveats for the CSV file.  
Caution  
Because bulk operations typically take a long time to complete and because bulk operations may  
adversely affect processing performance, we recommend that you perform bulk operations during  
off-hours. You can schedule the bulk operation to occur at a time when the system will be minimally  
impacted.  
This chapter contains information on the following topics:
