Effective Date | Rate start date (newest available rate for a particular destination) | ||||||||||

| ||||||||||
Time Profile | Time profile that will be used for a current rate. For example, business time, non-business time, weekends, etc. | ||||||||||

Stash Future Rates | Select what the system should do to the future rates for the same destinations existing in the system:
| ||||||||||
Force Notification | Select the system behavior regarding the notification process for the newly created rate:
| ||||||||||
Number Length | Specify a minimum and maximum length of the destination number. For example, if you have a rate of 3 USD for 123 Dst Code with indicated number length from 6 to 9, and another rate of 5 USD for the same 123 Dst Code without specified number length, all calls with a Dst Number between 6 and 9 digits will be billed by 3 USD , otherwise, by 5 USD. |

Attention After a rate was updated, it is still present in the list of filtered rates (if enabled) regardless of the set values. You need to update the page to see the filtered list without the changed rate (if the changes do not align with the filter). |
Mass Rate Edit
It's possible to make a mass update of the rates filtered by the rate table by clicking on Mass Edit. The drop-down menu will appear, where you need to fill in the fields according to your needs. There are six general parameters that can be applied to a field:
- preserve - the default configuration that saves the rate not edited. Leave this parameter unchanged if required;
- set to - it allows to edit rates, for example, specify the same effective date for all rates at once, regardless of previous configurations;
- inc for - here you can indicate how the original value increased;
- dec for - here you can indicate how the original value decreased;
- absolute - take the entered value as an absolute one;
- relative - take the entered value as a relative one.
The list of mass edit fields is as follows:
