Information BlockDescription
Simplify ModeIt allows applying the same price for all codes inside the same code name by using three options:
  • min
minimum available price.
  • max
maximum available price.
  • avg
average price of all available.
Example

For instance, if the USA code name consists of 3 codes with 1, 5, and 6 USD rates, respectively, depending on a chosen option, the results will be:

Result Rate for minResult Rate for maxResult Rate for avg
12011164
12025164
12036164


Codes Optimization checkbox

This option allows compressing an imported code range. For example, 4400-4409 will be shortened to 440. At the same time, 4400-4491 will be shortened to 440, ..., 448, 4490, 4491.

FieldDescription
TagSpecify a tag that will be applied to new rates, if such were created by a rates generator. Let's leave the default @ tag
PolicySelect the policy (regular or additive) that will be applied to code(s), presented in a code deck, but not in a source rate table. For example, Regular policy
RateDefine a rate for codes, which are present in a code deck but missing in a rule's source rate table. For example, 7.5 USD
Setup FeeDefine a setup fee for a new rate(s). For example, 8 USD
Min VolumeIndicate minimum volume for a new rate(s). 6 sec, for instance
IntervalSpecify the interval for a new rate(s). For example, 2 sec
Grace VolumeDetermine grace volume for those rates. For example, 2 sec
Time ProfileDefine a time profile for a new rate(s). For instance, leave the default all time profile
Example

Let's say our DEFAULT code deck contains 5 codes: 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204, 1205. But our source rate table has 4: 1201, 1202, 1203, and 1205. If you enable Adjust Results and specify the above-mentioned fields with respective parameters, a new rate table, created by a rates generator, will consist of 5 codes: 1201,1202, 1203, 1205 with their original parameters and a new 1204 code with the following ones (see screenshot above):

If a source rate table misses more than 1 code from the selected code deck, all added codes will have identical parameters, specified in the respective fields above.

The Advanced Options information block is designed to resolve cases when rates generator rules are created for different source rate tables that share certain identical codes. By specifying the following fields, you can configure what will the rate system use for these codes:
