Accounts
Please do not remove Account entities completely from the system. It may cause distortions and overall mismatches in stored statistics. Instead, disable their Origination/Termination settings.
Section overview​
This section is designed to create and manage all clients' Accounts in the system. Any Clients can have an unlimited number of unique Accounts. Accounts are a key tool for Clients' identification in JeraSoft Billing. The section is presented in the form of a table with the following columns:
| Column Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ID | Account's identification number |
| Client | Client's name |
| Account | Account's name |
| Name/ANI/IP | The way of clients' identification |
| Tech Prefix | Technical prefix for users' identification |
| Orig Details | Originator settings |
| Term Details | Terminator settings |
- It's possible to add multiple Accounts with the same IP address and different protocols/ports.
- When you delete an Account from the system, all associated statistics will be removed, amounts will be refunded and the client's balance will increase. We recommend deactivating useless Accounts instead of completely deleting them from the system. You can deactivate an Account by disabling Originator/Terminator Settings checkboxes.
The section contains the respective list of functional buttons and icons.
