Tip
See your system
administrator if you
need to change
your User ID or
Password.
Your system administrator will assign your User ID and a Password, and provide
you with the Admin Portal (AP) clients IP address.
You access the AP using an internet or company intranet connection, and a web
browser. For the best experience, Taqua recommends using a recent version of
either Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. However, the Admin Portal works with
recent versions of any modern browser, such as Apple Safari, Opera, or Microsoft
Internet Explorer.
Tip
If you run into any
problems using the
AP Client, before
contacting Taqua
TAC, make sure that
you have enabled
Javascript, cleared
the browser's
cache, and
disabled all browser
extensions and
plug-ins. See the
help for your
browser for details.
The AP Client looks best when run in full-screen mode, with a screen resolution of
12801024 pixels.
Overview
The AP Client is written using industry standard protocols, including HTML and
Javascript. The interface looks and operates consistently regardless of the browser
used.
Type the AP Clients IP address in your browsers address bar to navigate to the
Login page. Type your User ID and Password in the appropriate fields, and then
click Login.
The following screenshot shows the Admin Portal Client running on a popular web

Client indents Menu Link names in the Menu pane. In the next screenshot, the
UserManager Menu Folder contains the Users, Groups, and Permissions Menu
Links.
16
Menu Links
When you move the pointer over a Menu Link, the text turns red to indicate that the
Menu Link can be selected.
17
When you select a Menu Link, the AP Client updates the Center pane to show
information that is associated with the selected Menu Link. The next screenshot
shows the AP Client after a user has logged in, before any Menu Links have been
selected.
The Center pane defaults to this view when you log in. It is displaying the
Equipment Types from the Network Menu Folder in the AP Configuration Category.
These Equipment Types can also be accessed from the Equipment Selector, which
is described on page 162.
Tip
Press F5 to refresh
the current display.
18
The next screenshot shows the Center pane after the Users Menu Link is selected.
Menu Links
The AP Client updates the Center pane with the Users information. It also selects
the first record of the Users database, and displays the database fields of that
record in the Right pane.
This information will be displayed in the Center and Right panes until the user
selects another Menu Link.
See the next section of the guide for a detailed description of the Center pane, see
The Right Pane on page 107 for a detailed description of the Right pane.
19
Tip
These Equipment
Types can also be
accessed from the
Equipment Selector, which is
described on
page 162.
Here, the Center pane displays icons that represent network equipment. Each
yellow cylinder represents a database for managing a type of system that the
Admin Portal recognizes on the network.
Depending on your network, any of the following types of system icons appear:
Billing Taqua Billing contains the settings for Automatic Message
Accounting (AMA), Exchange Message Interface (EMI), and T7000 CDR
export.
20
Menu Links
The next screen shows the AP Configuration Menu Category, the UserManager
Menu Folder, and the Users Menu Link.
Now, the Center pane displays Users. Each User is a key to the Users database.
21
The next screen shows the T7000 Menu Category, the Network Manager Menu
Folder, and the Network Menu Link.
In this case, the Center pane displays the Network. Each item in the Center pane
is a T7000 switch.
The next screenshot shows the Provisioning Menu Category, the T7000 Home
Menu Folder, and the Dashboard Menu Link.
22
Menu Links
This time the Center pane displays Dashboard items, which are widgets. In the
screenshot, the user has clicked the Add widget menu, which lists the types of
widgets that can be added. See Widgets on page 191 for more information about
the widget menu.
23

25
When there are more records than can be displayed in the Center pane, the AP
Client adds a scroll bar. The next screenshot shows the first 14 records of the
Subscriber database:
The database itself contains 32 records, which you can display in the Center pane
by dragging the scroll bar with the mouse.
26
Navigating a Database
Navigating a Database
When the Center displays a database, you can use the keyboard to navigate the
database records.
In the following screenshot, the Admin Portal is displaying the first 100 records of
the APEventRegistration Menu Link.

To summarize:
the UP ARROW key moves to the previous record
35
Note that the AP Client is displaying records 1 - 100 of 848 records, and has added
two buttons (marked in red) to the top line in the Center pane.
36
The screenshots below identify the Next Page and the Last Page buttons.
Click the Next Page button to display the next 100 records in the database.
Click the Last Page button to display the last 100 records in the database.
Once you advance beyond the first 100 records, the AP Client adds two additional
navigation controls (marked in red in the next screenshot) to the Center pane:
37
The screenshots below identify the First Page and the Previous Page buttons:
Click the Previous Page button to display the previous 100 records in the
database.
Click the First Page button to display the first 100 records in the database.
38
You can also enter a starting record number in the record number box, as shown
in the next screenshot:
The AP Client uses the value you entered the next time you click a navigation
button.
39
Sorting Records
By default, the database records are displayed in ascending alphabetical order.
Tip
You can click anywhere on the
database name to
change the sorting
order, not just on the
arrow.
40
Sorting Records
If you sort a large database, such as the Subscribers database, the AP Client may
display an animated busy indicator until the sort completes:
41
The second line of the Center pane contains the names of the fields in the
database. The default view of any database is always the database key, which is
also the name of the database.
However, you can select other fields to display besides the key.
In the next screenshot, the user has selected AP Configuration Menu Category, the
UserManager Menu Folder, and the Users Menu Link.
To display any or all of the other database fields, right-click anywhere on the blue
bar that contains the database name:
A menu appears.
42
The Choose Columns dialog box appears. This dialog box lists the additional
database fields that can be displayed in the Center pane:
The check boxes indicate the current display status. In the previous screenshot,
none of the other fields of the Users database have been selected.
43
In the next screenshot, the user has selected the enabled field from the Choose
Columns dialog box. Once the OK button is clicked, that field will also be displayed
in the Center pane, along with the database key:
The AP Client displays the Users database with the fields selected in the Choose
Columns dialog box. In addition, the AP Client remembers these settings and
applies them each time the Users Menu Folder is selected.
44
In the next screenshot, all of the database fields of the Users database have been
selected:
However, something is wrong with this window. Although all of the database fields
have been selected, not all of the fields are displayed.
Use any of the following methods to reveal the hidden fields in the Center pane:
resize the AP Client window to make it wider
use the Center panes horizontal scroll bar (see the previous screenshot)
expand the Center pane (see Expanding the Center Pane on page 59)

Generating a Report
Generating a Report
You can generate a database report from any screen that displays database
records, such as the Provisioning or Maintenance screens. You can also generate
a report from most of the other Admin Portal screens, including the Billing,
IseHouse, screens. However, you cannot generate reports from the TaquaMail,
HA-CDR search, or Admin Portal Home screens.
The report consists of the record key, and any fields you chose to display in the
Center pane (see Adding and Removing Fields on page 42).
To generate a report, right-click in the Center pane. A menu appears. Choose
Generate Report.
47
The Admin Portal can generate the report in any of the following formats:
HTML the report is generated in Hyper Text Markup Language, and is
displayed as a new tab in your browser. See Displaying a Report in
HTML on page 49.
In the Report Format dialog, click a format for the report. To include all columns
(fields) for the report, click the Use All Columns check box.
Click OK to generate the report, or click the red close button to cancel the entire
operation.
The following sections present the same report in each of the above formats.

The splitter control expands and shrinks the Center pane. The Center pane
expands and shrinks at the expense of the Right pane, so when the Center pane
is fully expanded, the Right pane is hidden. The splitter displays as three black
blocks near the Center pane scroll bar. Hover the mouse on the splitter to display
a bi-directional white arrow that indicates you can size by moving left or right. Click
the splitter and a blue guide line guides positioning as you size the panes. You can
double-click the splitter to return to the default sizing of the screen.
Tip
Not every view has
a Right pane. However, the AP Client
always displays the
splitter. When a
view does not have
a Right pane, the
splitter does not
respond to mouse
clicks.
With the Center pane scaled down and the Right pane displayed, you can click the
splitter to open the Center pane to the full default size. If you drag the splitter right
to show as many database fields in the Center pane as possible, you can hide the
Right pane. With the Right pane hidden, can click the splitter to return the Center
pane to its default size and redisplay the Right pane.
59
The following screen shows the AP Client with the Center pane expanded, and the
Right pane closed. Note that the splitter is still visible at the extreme right of the
window:
Even with the Center pane open to the maximum, the AP Client window may still
be a bit too narrow to display all of the database fields that were selected
If the Center pane is not wide enough to display all of the database fields, the
easiest way to fix this problem is to simply make the AP Client Window wider. As
the AP Client becomes wider or narrower, the width of the Menu pane and Right
pane remain constant, but the width of the Center pane shrinks and expands.
There are times, however, when this will be either inconvenient or impossible. See
the next section for another way to display more data in the Center pane.
60
Resizing Columns
Resizing Columns
You can change the size of any column.
Column size is stored with your login profile. When you resize a column, you are
the only user who is affected by the change.
Tip
The AP Client can
automatically resize
a column: when the
pointer is a
,
double-click, and
the column width
will shrink (or
expand) to the width
of the narrowest (or
widest) value in the
database field.
When the pointer is between two database field names, it becomes a white bidirectional arrow. Left-click and drag the pointer to the left or to the right to resize
the column.
61
Moving Columns
You can rearrange the order in which the AP Client displays the database fields.
Column order is stored with your login profile. When you move columns, you are
the only user who is affected by the change.
Left-click and drag the pointer in any database field name to move that field to a
new location.
The following screenshot shows the Center pane after the group field has been
moved to the left of the enabled field.
62
Adding a Preset
Adding a Preset
If you have more than one set and arrangement of database fields, you can save
them in a Preset. Each database can have any number of Presets.
Presets are stored with your login profile. When you add a preset, you are the only
user who is affected by the change.
To create a Preset, right-click a database field name:
A menu appears.
63
In Internet Explorer, an information bar may request that you click to allow
scripted windows. Click the Information bar:
64
Adding a Preset
In the Script Prompt dialog box, enter a name for the Preset. When finished, click
the OK button:
65
Note: Google Chrome asks if you want to prevent the page from creating additional
dialog boxes. Do NOT select the check box (marked in red in the next screenshot)
if you want to be able to create additional Presets.
66
Choosing a Preset
Choosing a Preset
Once you have created some Presets. you can choose one to change the current
Center pane view.
To choose a new Preset, click the arrow in the Presets box:
67
The AP Client displays the Center pane with the settings of the new Preset, and
displays its name in the Preset box:
68
Deleting a Preset
Deleting a Preset
Once you have created a Preset, you can delete it.
To delete a Preset, you must first select it. The AP Client will not delete a Preset
until it has been selected. See Choosing a Preset on page 67.
Next, right-click a database field name:
A menu appears.
69
Tip
The AP Client does
not update Preset
names until you reselect the Menu
Folder. Also, the AP
Client remembers
the current Center
pane view, even if it
is no longer associated with a Preset.
70
A confirmation dialog box will appear, naming the deleted Preset. Click the OK
button to dismiss the dialog box.
The AP includes controls to help you filter the information displayed.You can use
the Filter controls to reduce the number of records the Admin Portal displays. Use
the Filter box to perform simple to moderate filtering operations on one or more
fields. The Auto Filter button lets you enable or disable automatic filtering. The
Custom Filter button lets you create and edit filters that help you find details of
interest to you. When you use a custom filter, the filter name displays in the Filter
Selector.
See:
When the Filter box is blank, the AP Client displays all of the records in the
database.
When you type in the Filter box, the AP Client displays only the records in the
database that contain that text. If you enable Automatic Filtering by pressing the
Auto Filter button, the Admin Portal queries the T7000 database as you type each
character. If Auto Filter is disabled, you must press Enter to start the database
query for text you typed.
See:
71
Tip
If the AP Client
does not respond to
your filter text, press
RETURN.
If necessary, click the Auto Filter button to disable Automatic filtering (enable
Manual filtering). With Manual filtering, the AP performs a simple query to display
all records with keys that are an exact match to the typed filter text after you press
Enter.
Filter boxes are not case-sensitive, so typing s and typing S will produce the
same result. The characters you type in a Filter box are treated as an exact match;
to search for the characters of a string in any position (at the beginning, middle or
end of the key), you must use the % wildcard (percent sign).
On the following screen, a filter of %a% has been typed in the Filter box to find
a in a key name wit h any number of characters before and after the a. The
Admin Portal displays every record in the database that contains an a somewhere
in the database key.
72
Tip
Filters are not case
sensitive, so AN,
An, aN and an
will produce the
same result.
This filter displays only the keys in the database that contain the string an.
73
This filter displays only the keys in the database that do not contain the string an.
74
The following screenshot shows the result of filtering the Subscriber key with a
comparison filter of <456. This filter returns all of the records in the database
whose key is less than 456:
75
The following screenshot shows the result of filtering the Subscriber key with a
comparison filter of >456. This filter returns all of the records in the database
whose key is greater than or equal to 456:
76
Tip
This section is for
advanced users.
Although quite powerful, learning the
syntax for Regular
Expressions (regex)
can be a daunting
task. To learn more,
search the Internet
for regex primers.
For advanced users: if a filter does not start with a !, <, or >, the Admin Portal
treats it as a POSIX Regular Expression.
In the following screenshot, the simple filter of 123 finds all Subscribers in the
database with the string 123 anywhere in the key:
NOTE: A Subscriber database could contain thousands of records, but the examples in
this document use test databases.
77
The next example assumes you want to search for records that contain the string
123 at the start of the key.
The regex syntax for this type of search is ^123.+$ which means:
^ look at the beginning of the string, followed by
In the following screenshot, the regex filter finds all Subscribers in the database
with the string 123 at the beginning of the key:
78
The next example assumes you want to search for records that contain the string
123 in the middle of the key. The regex syntax for this type of search is ^.123.+$
which means:
^ look at the beginning of the string, followed by
In the following screenshot, the regex filter finds all Subscribers in the database
with the string 123 in the middle of the key:
79
The final example assumes you want to limit the search to only records that contain
the string 123 at the end of the key. The regex syntax for this type of search is
^.+123$ which means:
^ look at the beginning of the string, followed by
In the following screenshot, the regex filter finds all Subscribers in the database
with the string 123 at the end of the key:
80
Tip
If you disable Automatic Filtering, the
Admin Portal will not
query the database
until you have finished entering all of
the filters. See
Using Automatic
Filtering on page
83.
When the AP Client displays multiple database fields, you can add a filter for each
field. The next screenshot shows a part of the Subscriber database. The user has
chosen to display the mwiOptions, PRIORITY_CALL and facility fields, in
addition to the database key.
81
The next screenshot shows the Center pane after the user has added a Stutter
filter to the mwiOptions field.
The AP Client supports multiple filters; here the user has added a TDM filter to
the facility field:
82
Tip
When querying a
large database,
such as the Call
Detail Record database, disable
Automatic Filtering.
When Auto Filtering is disabled, the Admin Portal does not query the database until
you press the ENTER key.
Click Auto Filter to toggle the Auto Filtering state. As the following screenshots
show, the Admin Portal displays a ScreenTip with the current Auto Filtering state
when you rest the mouse on the Auto Filter button:
83
See:
84
See:
85
In the Filter Properties pane, in the Name box, type the name of the new custom
filter:
86
If you are creating a custom filter you want to share with other Users, select Share:
NOTE: When you share a custom filter, you are sharing it with every User on the Admin
Portal. See Users on page 219.
Also note, only the User who creates a custom filter can edit, rename, or delete it.
In the Test list, click the type of filtering you want the Admin Portal to
perform:
not equal to select records whose attribute value does not equal
Value 1
less than select records whose attribute value is less than or equal
to Value 1
does not contain select records whose attribute value does not
contain Value 1
In Value 1 (and optionally, in Value 2), enter the value(s) for the test
87
At this point, your custom filter looks similar to the following screenshot:
AND select records that satisfy both the previous condition and the
new condition
If your custom filter is now complete, click Save. Otherwise, repeat the previous set
of steps to add an additional condition. You can add as many conditions to a
custom filter as you wish.
NOTE: If your custom filter contains both AND and OR conditions, the filter may not return
the result you expected. See Applying Multiple Conditions on page 89 and
Grouping Multiple Conditions on page 91.
88
Applying Multiple Conditions Confusion can arise when your custom filter has
have three or more conditions linked with a mix of AND and OR operators.
To illustrate, first consider the following set of records:
key
FirstName
PIN
9724800000
Alice
0000
9724800001
Bob
0623
9724800002
Charles
1234
6928311000
Diane
0000
6938311001
Edward
2003
6928311002
Fran
1234
Next, assume that the user has set up the following custom filter with the intent of
finding all of the records in the database whose key contains 972480 and whose
PIN is either 0000 or 1234:
Operator
Attribute
Test
Value 1
key
contains
972480
AND
PIN
equals
0000
OR
PIN
equals
1234
The user set up the filter expecting it to select Alice and Charles. But when the
custom filter is applied, the filter selects Alice, Charles, and Fran.
89
not this:
(key contains 972480) AND (pin equals 0000 OR pin equals 1234)
In the example, the condition key contains 972480 selects Alice, Bob, and
Charles, and the condition PIN equals 0000 selects Alice and Diane.
The AND operator returns the record(s) satisfying both conditions. In this case, the
only record satisfying both conditions is Alice.
The condition PIN equals 1234 selects Charles and Fran.
The OR operator returns all of the records satisfying either condition. In this case
it added Charles and Fran to result of the previous condition (Alice).
You can override the default operator precedence to alter the order in which the
Admin Portal applies the conditions in the custom filter. SeeGrouping Multiple
Conditions on page 91.
90
Since the AND operator has a higher precedence than the OR operator, the Admin
Portal applies these conditions as follows:
(key contains 972480 AND pin equals 0000) OR (pin equals 1234)
However, the intent of the custom filter was to apply the conditions in this order:

Database Synchronization
Normally, the switch pushes database updates to the AP. Occasionally, however,
the version of a database on the switch and the version of the same database on
the AP Server do not match. This can happen for any number of reasons, such as
network congestion, or perhaps because a large provisioning script ran on the
switch.
When the AP detects that its version of a database does not match, it displays a
Database Synchronization information message to inform you that it is
synchronizing databases.
In the following screenshot, the AP has detected that its version of the Subscribers
database no longer matches the version on the switch, and has initiated the
synchronization process:
102
Database Synchronization
In the next screenshot, the AP has started reading the new Subscriber records from
the switchs Subscriber database:
Tip
Each dot represents
100 records. The
AP Client always
displays at least one
dot, even if less
than 100 records
require
synchronization.
The update process can take some time, so the AP Client displays a series of dots
(circled in red) to indicate progress, as the next screenshot shows:

userDefined Fields
The Right pane displays the database record that is selected in the Center pane.
Use the Right pane to modify, create, and clone records.
userDefined Fields
Many records that display in the Right pane now include a userDefined field that
you can click to create custom or site-specific fields on the Admin Portal.
To create a userDefined field, click Click to add new field.
Type the name of the new attribute in the text box that appears. Press Enter to add
the new field. The new field is visible to and editable by users with the appropriate
database permissions.
NOTE: When you add a userDefined field, it is stored on the AP in a SQL database and
not in the switch configuration database. Add fields that you plan to use long term
as userDefined fields; deletion of userDefined fields from the SQL database
requires technical assistance.
107
Number Data
Number data are numeric values in the switch database.
Depending on the attribute, the ScreenTip may display either or both of the
following types of information:
the Range, which is the minimum and maximum permitted values for this
field. In this case, the Range is from 1 to 999.
the Default, is the value that the switch will supply when you create a
record using the Command Line Interface.
See Displaying and Modifying the Attributes of a Single Record on page 113 for
an example of entering Number data.
108
Text Data
Tip
Text data with a
value of 123 may
look like a number,
but the switch treats
it as a text string.
Text data are string values in the switch database. The Text data ScreenTip will tell
you the minimum and maximum lengths of the Text data, if they exist. Text data
usually do not have a Default.
See Adding Records on page 135 for an example of entering Text data.
109
Toggle Data
Tip
You will usually find
Toggle data inside a
Click to open field.
Toggle data are individual attributes that can be toggled ON or OFF, like a light
switch. When the Toggle data is ON (the attribute has been selected), the AP Client
displays a box with check. When the Toggle data is OFF (the attribute has not been
selected), the AP Client displays a box without a check.
Toggle data has a Default, which is usually OFF.
In the following screenshot, subscribedServices has been clicked, revealing
Toggle data. The CALLER_ID, and CALLING_NAME attributes have been
selected. The other displayed attributes have not been selected.
See Displaying and Modifying the Attributes of Multiple Records on page 122 for
an example of entering Toggle data.
110
Choice Data
When the switch database has assigned a set of mutually exclusive values to an
attribute, the AP Client displays them as Choice data.
When Choice data has a default, the AP Client uses the default value to initialize
the field.
In the following screenshot (taken from the Subscribers Menu Link), the
ScreenTip shows that mwiOptions is Choice data:
Clicking the mwiOptions value reveals the top of the mwiOptions Choice menu:
Click anywhere on the top of the Choice menu to display additional values for
mwiOptions:
111
The AP Client displays the value you selected at the top of the Choice menu:
Click anywhere in the Attribute column to replace the Choice menu with the value
you selected:
The AP Client displays the green Commit and the red Cancel check boxes. Follow
the procedure on page 116 to complete the update.
112
Tip
Once a value is
selected, use the
TAB key to move to
the next read-write
field, and the SHIFT
TAB key to move to
the previous readwrite field.
Note that the AP Client displays the Value of the name field in gray, and the Value
of the level field in blue.
A Value displayed in gray is read-only. You cannot modify it.
A Value displayed in blue is read-write, and can be modified.
Besides color, another way to tell if a Value can be modified is to look at the pointer:
when the pointer is an
the field is read-only, and cannot be modified
The AP Client will display a ScreenTip if you rest the pointer on a fields Value.
113
The next screenshot shows the pointer resting on level, the second attribute of a
Groups database record:
This ScreenTip gives the name of the field and the data type of this field, which in
this case is Number. See Entering Different Types of Data on page 107 for more
information about the different types of switch data.
114
In the following screenshot, the user has selected the level field, and is in the
process of changing the Value from 1 to 2:
115
Once the user presses ENTER, the AP Client displays two check boxes (marked
in red in the next screenshot) to the left of the level field:
Click the green Commit check box on the left to update the field with the new value,
or the red Cancel check box on the right to cancel the update operation on the
selected field:
116
Once the user presses ENTER, the AP Client also displays two check boxes
(marked in red in the next screenshot) on the Attributes and Values title:
Tip
When a record has
only one field that
can be modified,
there is no difference between
Commit/Cancel
Changes and Commit/Cancel All
Changes.
Click the green Commit All Changes check box on the left to update the record
with the new values for all fields, or the red Cancel All Changes check box on the
right to cancel the entire update operation:
Commit/Cancel All
Changes is more
useful when you are
updating multiple
fields in a record.
117
After clicking the Commit or Commit All Changes check box, the AP Client
displays the results of modifying the record.
In the next screenshot, the user successfully changed the value of level from 1 to
2. The AP Client indicates success by briefly displaying the attribute name in green
italics:
118
Wherever possible, the AP Client verifies your intended changes against the
database metadata.
For example, on page 108 the ScreenTip for the level attribute showed that its
value must be a number between 1 and 999.
In the next screenshot, the user has attempted to set the value of level to 000.
Because this value is outside the permitted range, the record cannot be modified.
The AP Client displays an information message to inform you of the error:
Dismiss the information message by clicking the OK button, then enter a value
within the permitted range.
119
Some errors, however, cannot be caught until the AP Client attempts to modify the
record.
In the next screenshot, the user has selected the AP Configuration Menu Category,
the UserManager Menu Folder, the Users Menu Link, and the bob record. The user
is attempting to change the value of the changePassword attribute, but does not
have permission to do so.
The AP Client cannot detect this type of error, so it attempts to update the record.
120
The database catches the permissions problem, and rejects the update. The AP
Client indicates failure by redisplaying the original value of the attribute, and by
displaying the attribute name itself in red italics.
Click on the attribute name for a information message with an explanation of why
the update failed:
121
122
In the next screenshot, the user has selected the first Subscriber record in the
usual way (by clicking the Subscriber record):
Note that the AP Client is displaying the selected record with a blue background.
To select the remaining Subscribers, the user depresses the SHIFT key and clicks
the last Subscriber record:
Note that the AP Client is now displaying all records with a blue background.
123
You can select or deselect individual records by depressing the CTRL key and
clicking the record with the mouse.
In the next screenshot, the user has decided to modify the only the first and third
records:
To summarize:
select a range of multiple records by:
124
125
The next screenshot shows the Control pane after the user clicks the
subscribedServices Value:
The subscribedServices Value is now Click to close. Click it to collapse the field.
126
In the next screenshot, the user has scrolled down the list of subscribedServices
and found the SPEED_DIAL30 and SPEED_DIAL8 fields. Note that the
SPEED_DIAL8 check box is selected, and that the SPEED_DIAL30 check box is
clear:
In the next screenshot, the user has clicked the check boxes to add the
SPEED_DIAL30 service and remove the SPEED_DIAL8 service, and is about to
commit the changes to the database:
Note that the Center pane still shows all three records selected.
127
After the user clicks the Commit All Changes check box, the AP Client applies the
updates to the selected records. The next screenshot shows the AP Client in the
process of updating both fields:
Note that the Value column for both SPEED_DIAL8 and SPEED_DIAL8 display a
busy indicator.
The next screenshot shows the AP Client after SPEED_DIAL30 has been updated:
128
As a check, the next screenshot shows that the Center pane filters can no longer
find any Subscribers with the SPEED_DIAL8 service:
129
For simplicity, the examples shown so far have either shown only the
subscribedServices field in the Right pane or have shown the Center pane fully
expanded.
The following screenshot shows what you might see when:
both the Center pane and the Right pane are displayed
Note that the Admin Portal is displaying specific values for most of the fields, but
the values for version, key, lastName, and firstName are displayed as ???.
When the Admin Portal is displaying multiple records and all of the selected records
share the same value for a field, the Admin Portal displays that value. However,
when two or more of the selected records have different values for a field, the
Admin Portal cannot display all of them. In this case, the Admin Portal displays the
triple question marks to let you know that the selected records do not have the
same value for that field.
130
When you view a database record that contains one or more Collections, the Admin
Portal displays a plus
in front of the name of the database record.
For example, the following screenshot shows the officeParms database. The
Admin Portal displays a plus
in front of the name of the TaquaTx database
record to show that it contains at least one Collection.
131
The following screenshot shows that the TaquaTx database record after the user
has clicked on the plus
. This database record contains the OSSInfoDigits
Collection and the countryCodes Collection:
The following screenshot shows the TaquaTx database record after the user has
clicked the plus
in front of the countryCodes Collection:
132
The Right pane displays the attributes of the new item. The contents vary,
depending on the type of item you are adding to the Collection. For details, see the
T7000 or T7100 documentation.
To remove an item from the Collection, right-click the item.
A menu appears.
133
134
Adding Records
Adding Records
You can add records to a database. In the next screenshot, the user is adding a
record to the Groups folder of the UserManager Menu Category.
To add a record, move the pointer to the Center pane and right-click anywhere in
the Center pane:
A menu appears.
135
Tip
The Right pane is
only visible when
the splitter is open.
For more information, see
Expanding the
Center Pane on
page 59.
The AP Client reads the field names from the database, and displays them in the
Attributes column. Fields that require a value are marked with a red asterisk to the
right of the Attribute name. In this case, all fields require a value.
136
Adding Records
The next screenshot shows the pointer resting on name, the first attribute of a
Groups database record:
Tip
The ScreenTip displays the fields data
type. See Entering
Different Types of
Data on page 107
for more about different types of data.
The AP Client will display a ScreenTip if you rest the pointer on a fields Value. The
ScreenTip gives the name of the field and the data type of the field, which in this
case is Text.
For name, the minimum and maximum length is from 1 to 32 characters.
Note that name does not have a default value.
137
The next screenshot shows the pointer resting on level, the second attribute of a
Groups database record:
Tip
The ScreenTip displays the fields data
type. See Entering
Different Types of
Data on page 107
for more about different types of data.
This ScreenTip gives the name of the field and the data type of this field, which in
this case is Number.
For level, the Range is from 1 to 999, and the Default is 1.
To summarize the current example:
both the name field and the level field require values, because both have
a red asterisk next to them
138
the name field requires a value, because it does not have a default
the level field requires a value. Even though it has a default, the AP
ignores it.
Adding Records
In the next screenshot, the user has clicked on the Value column of the name field,
and has decided to create an Archbishops group:
Once the user presses ENTER, the AP Client displays a check box (marked in red)
to the left of the name field, and two more check boxes (also marked in red) on the
Attributes and Values title:
These check boxes are described on page 140 and page 141.
139
In the next screenshot, the user has clicked Value column of the level field and is
entering a value of 75:
Once the user presses ENTER, the AP Client displays a Cancel check box
(marked in red) to the left of the level field, This check box and the check box to
the left of the name field can be used to cancel the value of the respective field:
140
Adding Records
Once the user has entered values for at least one field, two check boxes are
displayed on the Attributes and Values title.
Tip
Dont click the Create Object check
box until you have
entered values for
all required fields.
Click the green Create Object check box on the left to create the object, or the red
Cancel Create check box on the right to cancel the create operation:
141
The following screenshot shows the Center pane and Right pane after the user
clicks the Create Object check box:
A new record (marked in red) has been created and inserted into the Groups
database.
The following screenshots demonstrates what happens if the user attempts to
create a record that does not have all of the required fields:
142
Adding Records
In this case, the user has entered a value for level, but not for name. Because
name is a required field, but it does not has a default, the record cannot be created.
The AP Client displays an information message to inform you of the error:
Dismiss the information message by clicking the OK button, and then add a value
for each missing field.
143
Cloning Records
A clone is a copy of a record. When a record has many fields, it is sometimes faster
to create a new record by copying an existing record and changing a few fields than
it is to create the new record entirely from scratch.
In the next screenshot, the user has selected the T7000 Menu Category, the
Provisioning Menu Folder, the Carriers Menu Link, and the ATT record:
144
version and key are read-only fields and are not copied to the cloned
record.
fields displayed in blue are read-write. When the record is cloned, the
Admin Portal copies the value of the field to the cloned record, unless its
attribute definition is UNIQUE. For example,
Cloning Records
The deniedInfoDigits field in the Center pane is read-only and is not copied to the
cloned record.
To clone a record, move the pointer to the Center pane and right-click the record
to be cloned:
A menu appears.
145
Fields that require a value are blank, and are marked with a red asterisk to the right
of the Attribute name. In this case, both key and code were not cloned, and both
require a value.
146
Cloning Records
Fields that do not require a value are blank and are not marked. In this case, neither
version nor PCAC were cloned
Some blank fields can be edited, and some cannot. You can tell the difference by
resting your pointer on the Value for the field:
If you rest the pointer on a Value and the Admin Portal displays an arrow
, the Value cannot be edited.
If you rest the pointer on a Value and the Admin Portal displays a hand
, the Value can be edited.
When a Value can be edited, the Admin Portal also displays a ScreenTip that
provides additional information about the valid values for the field.
The next screenshot shows the pointer resting on key, the first attribute of a Carrier
database record:
The ScreenTip supplies the name of the field and the fields data type, which in this
case is Text. Depending on the field, other information, such as a default value,
may also be included.
Note that key does not have a default value.
147
The next screenshot shows the pointer resting on code, the second attribute of a
Carrier database record:
This ScreenTip also gives the name of the field and the data type of this field,
which in this case is Text.
Depending on the type of field, other information such as a default value may also
be included. For example, in the case of this Text field, the ScreenTip includes the
length, which is 4.
Note that code does not have a default value.
To summarize the current example:
both the key field and the code field require values, because both have
a red asterisk next to them
148
both the key field and the code field require you to enter a value, because
neither of them has a default.
Cloning Records
In the next screenshot, the user has selected the Value column of the key field, and
is entering the name of the new Carrier:
Once the user presses ENTER, the AP Client displays a check box (marked in red
in the next screenshot) to the left of the key field:
149
Click the red Cancel check box on the right to cancel the update operation on the
selected field:
150
Cloning Records
Also, once the user presses ENTER, the AP Client displays two check boxes
(marked in red in the next screenshot) on the Attributes and Values title:
Tip
Dont click the
Clone Object check
box until you have
entered values for
all required fields.
Click the green Clone Object check box on the left to update the record with the
new values for all fields, or the red Cancel Clone check box on the right to cancel
the entire update operation:
151
In the next screenshot, the user has clicked the Value column of the code field and
is entering a value of 0012:
Once the user presses ENTER, the AP Client displays the Commit and Cancel
check boxes to the left of the code field:
152
Cloning Records
Note any field displayed in blue can also be changed before creating the new
record. In the next screenshot, the user is in the process of changing the intraLata
field of the cloned Carrier record:
The following screenshot shows the Center pane and Right pane after the user
clicks the Clone Object check box:
A new record (marked in red) has been created and inserted into the Carrier
database.
153
In this case, the user has entered a value for key, but not for code. Because code
is a required field, but it does not has a default, the cloned record cannot be
created.
154
Cloning Records
When the user clicks the Clone Object check box, the AP Client display an
information message to inform you of the error:
Dismiss the information message by clicking the OK button, and then add a value
for each missing field.
