Table 1. PostRating Profile Properties
Property Description
Name A descriptive name for the PostRating profile.
Description Information about the purpose of the PostRating profile.
External ID An optional field that can be set on MATRIXX pricing objects.
Default Language (Optional) Sets the default language to use for playing the announcements listed in the profile. Must match a language definition configured in My MATRIXX to support subscriber-preferred languages.
Announcements are played in the subscriber's preferred language, if available. If the ServiceInfo.VcsInfo.Language field in the MDC is set, it overrides the subscriber's preferred language so that announcements can be played in that language instead. If the subscriber preference, or VcsInfo override, specifies a language for which there are no announcements in the profile, then the announcements of the PostRating profile default language is used.
Note: You can set ServiceInfo.VcsInfo.Language by using a data modify action, normalizer, system attribute, or selective update.
Announcement Server (Optional) The ID of the announcement server used for all the announcements in this profile. If the announcements are performed using the Diameter protocol, the announcement server you select must be the Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) announcement server, otherwise select an appropriate Camel announcement server.
Prompt Collect Sets the announcement prompt collect definition to use for collecting digits from the subscriber. Set to No PROMPT by default.

This field becomes available only if the Both Way Through Connection field for the announcement server is set to Both Way Path Required or Not Set.

If you assign an announcement prompt collect definition to the profile, then CCF sends the list of announcements to play to the announcement server in a PromptAndCollectUserInformation (PACUI) operation instead of a PlayAnnouncement operation.
Note: A prompt collect announcement pricing component cannot be assigned to a profile using the VoLTE announcement server. For more information, see the discussion about rules for configuring announcements.
List of Announcements Select to add a list of announcements for different languages to the profile.
Note: You can add a list of announcements to the profile or a menu action, but not both.
Menu Action Select to add a menu action to the profile. Select the menu action you require from the Menu Action list.
Note: You can add a list of announcements to the profile or a menu action, but not both.
Start Menu Action After Call Is Answered (Optional) If you selected a menu action, select this option to create a post-answer menu service.
Important: CCF uses a non-standard message sequence for implementing post-answer menus that is not supported by standards compliant MSCs. For more information, see the discussion about post-answer announcement menus in MATRIXX Call Control Framework Integration.
Data Modify Actions A table containing the list of data modify actions that have been added to the profile.
Note: You can add data modify actions to profiles that contain a list of announcements or that contain a menu action. A profile cannot contain only data modify actions. If you attempt to save a profile that has only data modify actions, a pricing error is reported.
Multiple Announcements per Language If List of Announcements is selected, you can select this check box to add multiple announcements per language (up to a maximum of 16) to the PostRating profile. When unselected, you can add only one announcement per language. At least one announcement must use the default language for the profile.
Note: You cannot unselect this check box if multiple announcements for a specific language have been added to the profile.
Announcements List A table containing the list of announcement details per language that have been added to the profile. If only one announcement per language is added to the profile, the announcements for the different languages appear together in a single list. If Multiple Announcements per Language is selected, the announcements for each language are listed on separate tabs.
Note: If the PostRating profile does not include any announcements, it means that no announcement are made.
