Learn about using templates for site data.
You reference site data in the templates in two different ways:
To assign an entity you are creating to a site, use the Site column in the template.
For example, to create a user called Lin Yao and assign her to the San Francisco site, enter San Francisco in the Site column of users-template.xls.
To qualify a value in a specific spreadsheet column by specifying its site, use a colon to separate the value from the site name (Value:Site name).
For example, to specify that the Tech Support group is at the Santa Cruz site, enter Tech Support:Santa Cruz in the Group Name column of groupmembers-template.xls.
The following table lists template fields that support the Value:Site syntax:
Template | Field (s) | Default Site |
---|---|---|
groups-template.xls |
Forwarding Manager Group Add Group Device Group |
