- Configuration tab has a new "Watch Rule" form with the next modifications:
1) Filters by services, tags, types and regular expressions. Use POSIX standart for regular expressions in the "RegExp Match" field, for example, (.*)Telecom.*)
2) Title could be added to the rule and put into subject of the message. It helps to organize messages in the email client.
3) "Group Limit" option allows to set after how many events under the same rule log message should be sent as a single aggregated message instead of separate e-mails per each log message.
4) "Details Limit" option allows to set amount of characters for grouped messages.
5) New possibility to configure notification separately for Radius: Fraud Protection by tags.

Rate Tables: Import
From now on, the Import tab has a new user interface. It was reworked to simplify the import experience by providing new and enhanced options and more informative tooltips. The tab supports the following features:
- import the file (*xls, xlsx) with multiple sheets;
- import template could be configured for each sheet;
new Code Rules sub-panel with advanced settings that could be applied for all codes or specific one:
When you add a code rule and set the value in the fields, it will overwrite parameters specified in the file. If you leave fields empty, it will take the parameters from the file.
The column with * code presents the rule with default settings for fields that are NOT selected in the imported file. However, the default values (of this rule) for fields that are selected in the file won't be applicable (see screenshot below).
A-Z import mode (that is used to close active or future rates) could be applied for one code.
