The GeoTree is configured in Setup / Usage Rating / Rate Types / GeoTree

Overview

The GeoTree is a structured tree comprised of nodes which can represent locations (e.g. Everywhere/South America/Brazil) or another location specific entity such as a carrier/service area (e.g. Everywhere/North America/Canada/Zone 1). At each node patterns can be configured. When the GeoTree is used by the rating engine the usage record's destination value (terminating number, IP address, etc.) is matched against the patterns defined in the tree in order to map the usage to a location. When a pattern match occurs the rate that is applied is determined by checking the 'Location' value on the rates that exist in a rate plan. If a rate with a matching location cannot be found a usage exception will occur.

Info

Note: The GeoTree will not be used for rating unless the usage class matching the usage being rated is setup to use the GeoTree (i.e. the class's 'Rater' field is set to 'GeoTree').
