Discovery Workbooks

Six workbooks, one per part of the phone system. Each page here documents every field in the workbook: who fills it in, whether it's required, the allowed values, and a worked example.

Before the workbooks, answer the Pre-Discovery Questions — a short list where each answer maps to a setting we'd otherwise have to come back to you about. Then read How the workbooks work if you haven't. The Number Porting & CSR workbook is what the porting process is built from — read that page before you fill it in.

The files themselves are on Download the Workbooks, along with what to check before you start filling them in.

Most other workbooks reference the people in it by email, so filling it in first saves rework.
