Simplify Mode | It allows applying the same price for all codes inside the same code name by using three options: | |||||||||||||||||||||
| minimum available price. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| maximum available price. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 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:
| |||||||||||||||||||||
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. |

Results
The Adjust Results section enables results adjusting by data from a currently selected Code Deck. It means that the number of codes in your source rate table (specified in rules after a new rates generator is created) must be equal to the number of codes in your Code Deck. If your Code Deck has only 5 codes, but a rate table has 10, those extra codes, that are not specified in a selected Code Deck, will be removed from a generated rate table. On the other hand, if your Code Deck has 15 codes, but a rate table has only 5, 10 extra codes will be added to a generated rate table with parameters, specified in this information block. A detailed example is provided in the table below.

Field | Description | ||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Tag | Specify a tag that will be applied to new rates, if such were created by a rates generator. Let's leave the default @ tag | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Policy | Select 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 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Rate | Define 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 Fee | Define a setup fee for a new rate(s). For example, 8 USD | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Min Volume | Indicate minimum volume for a new rate(s). 6 sec, for instance | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Interval | Specify the interval for a new rate(s). For example, 2 sec | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Grace Volume | Determine grace volume for those rates. For example, 2 sec | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Time Profile | Define 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. |

Please note, if you enable the Adjust Results option but don't specify the Rate field, new rates for missing codes won't be added to a new rate table |
