In the Niagara Network Job Builder window in the top pane, Provisioning steps to run, click (Add).
The New Job Step window opens.
Click the Deploy Template step and click OK.
A File Chooser window opens so you can select the Excel file to be used for deploying templates to each remote station in the job.
Navigate to the templateCache folder and select the Excel file to use for this step, and click OK.
The system adds the use of the Excel file as a step in the job sequence and displays the file path ORD to use.
A Password window opens.
If the selected Excel file is encrypted, click the check box, type in the password and click OK.
The Niagara Network Prototype View opens.
To initiate the provisioning job, review your choices and click Run Now at the bottom of the view.
The view changes to the Niagara Network Job View, where steps and results appear as they are executed, as shown.
Each row in the table represents a single step execution on a single station.
On completion, for any row in the table double-click the double arrow chevron icon (>>) at the far-right end of the row to see the job execution details.
The Batch Job Step Log File View opens.
