Can anyone point me in a direction so that I can build my own provisioning templates? I don't see anywhere that shows how to build templates, is there any documentation that describes how this is done? I want to build provisioning templates for assigning and labelling buttons on Yealink and other similar handsets.
Any help is appreciated, thank you!

no, the provisioning templates are based on the concept of variable substitution. So If you can provision a phone exactly the way you want it to work, and then export its config file, you can go through that file and substitute user-specific entries (username, full name, password, blf entries etc) with the variables that get replaced by the specifics of whatever phone needs to be setup at the time.
A full understanding of a soup-to-nuts autoprovisioning involves in-depth understanding of how a phone discovers certain parameters from DHCP, FTP download, DNS, and LLDP.
