BusinessPhone Communication Platform 4.0
Dialogs

## DCM Export Files

This dialog provides file manager functionality for exported DCM (Designation Card Manager) files. Here you can delete, upload, or download files. For more flexibility, the dialog is part of the Tools menu as well.

To access the dialog, click on the “Extensions” menu in the Configuration directory tree to bring up the context menu and select “DCM Export”. Alternatively, you can select the “DCM Export” option from any of the submenu’s context menus (Analog, Cordless, Digital, IP). In the Extension Selection for DCM Export dialog, click on the Files button to open the DCM (Designation Card Manager) Export Files dialog.

### The BMS-DCM export-import functionality

The Designation Card Manager can generate designation cards automatically, by importing data about the programmable keys. The BusinessPhone Management Suite (BMS) and the BusinessPhone Extension Assistant (BEA) are capable of exporting the type of text file that the Import Wizard can read. The data is located in a comma-separated file. The text file with data about the programmable keys is called a BMS export file. It is assigned a name starting with "DCMGEN" and the time of creation. File name extension is ".ext ".

#### Generating Cards by Using the DCM Import Wizard

##### To start the import process

From the File menu, select Import Wizard.

- Choose the folder where the BMS export file is located, and click Next.
- A list of valid export files appears.
- Select the file you want to import.
- A list appears showing all phones and directory numbers (in brackets) found in the export file.
- To avoid generating a card for a phone, select it and move it to the other list.

#### Import language selection

The BMS export file has a preset BMS export language. However, you can change the language of the designation cards by selecting from a list.

#### Generated designation cards

When the designation cards have been generated, you can open and edit them as appropriate.

File name is "Generated-000.dcm ", where 000 is the extension number of each phone (asterisks (*) replaced by letter (A)).

Note

If the report contains directory numbers where no card was generated, it is because there is no phone connected, or it is an unrecognized phone type, or a phone that does not have a designation card.

#### Adjusting the DCM export file

If you are not satisfied with the suggested texts in the cards, do this to avoid having to edit each single card:

Open the BMS export file in a text editor and modify the key texts until you are satisfied, taking care not to change any other information.

Run the Import Wizard again to create a new set of cards.
