Edit Bucket Panel

The information in this panel reflects the currently selected usage bucket. From here you can change bucket details (fields will display a red left border if a value is required and purple text if the field is read-only and cannot be modified).

1. Under the Buckets heading on the left click the  icon

2. Under the Add Bucket heading on the right specify the bucket details

3. On the Tiers tab click on the + New button and populate the following fields:

   • Flat Charge: the value entered in this field will be charged when the tier is reached. If a flat charge is configured on the 1^st tier then any amount usage applicable to the bucket (e.g. 1 byte of usage against a data usage bucket) will cause the tier to be reached and the flat charge applied

   • Threshold: specifies the size of the tier (the unit options listed here available on this screen are determined by the base bucket's Unit Type). E.g. for a data bucket you would enter a Threshold of '10' with a Unit of 'GB' to create a tier ten Gigabytes in size. When the Bucket tiers can also be sized with values that result in fractional thresholds (e.g. a bucket tier with a threshold set to 0.1Mib would result in a bucket tier size of 104857.6 bytes). Bucket tiers with fractional byte values will be rounded to whole numbers during rating when usage is applied to the bucket. When a bucket tier threshold is exceeded any flat charge and rates setup on the next tier will be applied. If there is no higher tier to use, and the last tier is not set to repeat, then rates in a rate plan will be used to calculate usage charges (the lowest level rate plan found will be selected if multiple rate plans are foundavailable. See the rate plan screen help for details on how rate plans are selected by the system). If no rate plan can be found the rating engine will generate rating exceptions when processing usage data related to the an account-service

4. Click Add when finished populating tier details. Repeat the process to add additional tiers if desired

5. When you have finished configuring the usage bucket click Save
