Use the Dedicated 8XX batch formatter to create new 8XX bulk-add files for adding Dedicated 8XX numbers to your account.
The Control Center Dedicated 8XX Batch Formatter has two main menu options: File and Tools. These menu options enable quick and easy completion of the available tasks in the Dedicated 8XX batch formatter.
The batch file can be created via three different methods; follow one of the methods below to create a new batch file.
You can also copy from Excel spreadsheet into Batch Formatter fields.
You can find the Dedicated 8XX Batch Ordering Template in Control Center: Manage Orders > Batch > Dedicated.
The template is a spreadsheet used to arrange the data to be loaded into the Batch Formatter application, via the CenturyLink Protected Internet Delivery [QPID] utility for scripted uploads to the Control Center folders, or in Control Center via Manage Orders > Batch > Dedicated. It is divided into three sections – Header Record, Data Record and Trailer Record. Each field must be populated with the required information for the order to be provisioned successfully.
File names with the same root name but different extensions are not recognized as different files. Submitting files with the same name will result in the file being rejected by Control Center. For example: 11082003CTLTA.txt, 11082003CTLTA.tx1, and 1108CTLTA.tx3 would all be viewed as the same file (11082003CTLTA) and be rejected by the system.
