A friend and I (mostly the friend) have come up with a program that will automatically create a Unified Call List XML file suitable for importing into an APX radio. Basically, a customer can provide a spreadsheet with the proper information and in about 2.3 seconds, this program will take the spreadsheet and create the XML file.
We have done this on the premise that there are 2 conventional systems created in the APX CPS and they are the default names (Cnv Sys 1 - ASTRO & Cnv Sys 2 - MDC).
The CSV file needs the following in order:
Column A: Contact Name
Column B: MDC ID
Column C: Astro25 Conventional ID
Column D: Astro25 Trunk ID
Not all fields are required. If only an Astro25 Conventional ID is needed, columns B and D can be blank.
If anyone out there has a spreadsheet with a lot of contacts and even one of the ID columns, I'd love to get a copy and test it out and troubleshoot anything that may have been missed. I'll move the columns around if necessary. I just don't want to create a spreadsheet with 200+ contacts; I'd rather have a real life list. I'll even provide XML files back for importing into your APX code plug.
Please private message me for my contact information.
Thanks,
Jim
