Manual File Import
If you do not have MeetingPlace Directory Services installed, you must
complete a manual file import. To simplify this process, you can choose to
import only those fields that contain profile or group-specific information,
such as user IDs, profile numbers, group names, group numbers, and contact
information (e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc.). The items marked with
an asterisk (*) in Table 4-3 identify user-specific fields and the items marked
by two asterisks (**) identify group-specific fields.

Any fields you do not include in the import file will automatically derive
their value from either the guest profile or from the user group to which the
user has been assigned.
their value from either the guest profile or from the user group to which the
user has been assigned.
If you are not assigning users to groups, you should review the settings in the
guest profile to make sure they are appropriate for the users you are adding
to the system. For example, if you want users to be able to outdial from
meetings but the guest profile has the Can Call Out from Mtgs parameter set
to No, you need to change this setting in the guest profile before importing
your profiles. Once the profiles have been imported, make sure the settings
in the guest profile have their appropriate values.

You can use any value for the user ID and profile number, but it must be
unique. For example, if you are importing the data from your voicemail
system, you may want to use each person’s telephone number as his or her
profile number. If you are obtaining the information from an e-mail system
database, you might want to use the person’s e-mail user ID as the
MeetingPlace user ID. If used, the group name and group number values
must also be unique.
