    • About My MATRIXX Help

      My MATRIXX Help provides information about My MATRIXX, a web application that offers a central location for creating pricing plans and configuring MATRIXX charging and rating behaviors. My MATRIXX is intended for pricing administrators who are responsible for creating and maintaining pricing plans and for IT administrators or developers who configure the rating and charging behavior of the online charging system.

    • Introducing My MATRIXX

      The following information describes the My MATRIXX interface.

    • Using My MATRIXX

      You use My MATRIXX to validate and compile the pricing configuration file, compile pricing, and set up and manage user roles and domains; create and manage catalog items and catalogs, manage eligibility features and rules, and manage the Normalizers interface; create and manage balances, pricing, offers and bundles, general components, and application-related components; and policies for charging and rating. Use General Configuration to create components that support pricing items and charging functionality such as announcements pricing components, attribute definitions, denial codes, products, decision tables, Final Unit Indication (FUI) profiles and generators, general ledger transaction types, notification profiles, normalizer templates, and subscriber information query actions, profiles, and generators.

    • Home Menu

      The following information describes the tasks that can be performed using the My MATRIXX Home menu.

    • Catalog Configuration

      Catalog Configuration contains the Catalog Items interface that you use to create, change, or delete catalog items; the Eligibility interface to manage eligibility features and rules to determine whether a subscriber, group, or device is eligible for a catalog item; and the Normalizers interface you use to edit normalizers.

    • Charging Configuration

      Charging Configuration has the interfaces you use to create and manage balance, pricing, product offer and bundle, general, and application-related components.

      • Balance Configuration

        Balance Configuration contains interfaces you use to create and manage price components including aggregation selectors, balances and balance classes, balance state update profiles and components, meters, and rollover profiles and components.

      • Pricing Configuration

        Pricing Configuration contains interfaces you use to create pricing plan components. Pricing plan components managed through this interface include decision tables, finance and service contracts, filters, price components including charges, discounts, grants, refunds, and forfeitures, and rate tags.

      • Offer and Bundle Configuration

        Offer and Bundle Configuration contains interfaces you use to create and manage pricing and rating components including bundles, offer priority generators, product offers, and product service types and attributes.

      • Normalizer Configuration

        Normalizer Configuration contains interfaces you use to create and manage normalizers, normalizer templates, and normalizer value lists.

      • Tax Configuration

        Tax Configuration contains interfaces you use to create and manage tax classes and selectors, and US taxation. You must have the Manage Tax domain user role to enable this menu.

      • General Configuration

        General Configuration has interfaces you use to create pricing plan components. Pricing plan components managed through this interface include announcements, product and system attributes and definitions, currency codes for rate tables, denial codes, field definitions for use in normalizers and rate tables, Diameter Final-Unit-Indication (FUI) profiles and generators, General Ledger (GL) transaction types and info generators, grace period profiles, languages, notification profiles, parameter definitions, pre/post-rating profiles and generators, SH Repository data, Subscriber Information Query components, tax classes for offer categorization, usage quota profiles and components, purge profiles, virtual fields, and usage triggers.

        • Announcements

          MATRIXX Engine uses announcement data for determining the list of announcements to play to a subscriber during a voice call, and the language they must be played in. Configure announcement data to be dynamic, so a different result occurs based on conditions that are valid at the time of rating.

        • Attributes

          System attributes and product attributes are properties you can add to certain pricing objects that can be used to influence rating operations and provide information to downstream systems, such as General Ledger accounting systems.

        • Data Modify

          You use the data modify interface to configure data modify actions, data modify profiles, and data modify profile selectors.

        • Denial Codes

          Denial codes are a way to deny service access to subscribers for a specific reason. You define them in My MATRIXX and add them to rate table rows in place of a rating formula, so the value is returned to the network based on the row selected during rating.

        • Final Unit Indication

          You can configure Diameter Final Unit Indication (FUI) information to be static or dynamic.

        • General Ledger Info

          You can configure MATRIXX Charging Application to generate General Ledger (GL) information for inclusion in an _glossary/edr.html.

        • Grace Period Profiles

          You use grace period profiles to configure the length of purchased item cycle grace period(s) that extends the period of time before a cycle goes into a recovery state.

        • Languages

          A language definition indicates that My MATRIXX supports that language.

        • Notifications

          In Notifications you create notification profiles and notification profile selectors that determine when and to which tenants notifications are sent.

          • Notification Profiles

            Notification profiles are reusable pricing components that define when expiration, _glossary/recurring_processing.html, recurring processing failure, and life cycle change notifications are sent and the frequency with which those notifications are sent. For a complete list of possible notifications, see the discussion about notifications in MATRIXX Integration.

          • Notification Profile Selectors

            Notification profile selectors use decision tables to select a _glossary/notification_profile.html and apply profile data.

        • Object State Update Profiles

          An object state update profile specifies how to extend, limit, or adjust the date/time value of the custom MATRIXX Data Container (MDC) field of an offer owner (subscriber/group/device). Enable an object state update profile by selecting it when configuring an offer owner state update component. The decision table used in an offer owner state update component selects an object state update profile to use to update a custom field of an offer owner. An object state update profile can only be used in combination with an offer owner state update component. For more information, see the discussion about offer owner state update components.

        • Parameters

          You can configure definitions for parameters that you can use in pricing items such as catalog items, bundles, product offers, and price components.

        • PostRating

          MATRIXX Engine uses post-rating profiles and generators for determining a set of actions to apply to a message after it has been processed by rating. You configure post-rating to be dynamic, so a different result occurs based on conditions that are valid at the time of rating.

        • PreRating

          MATRIXX Engine uses pre-rating query data for determining when to perform a call out request for subscriber information to an external server or database. You configure pre-rating query data to be dynamic, so a different result occurs based on conditions that are valid at the time of rating.

        • Purge Profiles

          Purge profiles allow you to define retention periods for expired product offers per _glossary/catalog_item.html, _glossary/meter.html, or _glossary/balance.html.

        • SH Repository Data

          Sh repository data profiles allow you to send information between the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) and the Subscriber Profile Repository (SPR), where MATRIXX Engine is the SPR. The PCRF and SPR communicate by sending Subscription Notification Requests (SNR) and Subscription Notification Answers (SNA) back and forth over Sp. The Sh repository data returns to the PCRF in an SNA.

        • Usage Quota

          Usage quota components are pricing items that are used for selecting usage quota profiles based on conditions that are valid during rating. The usage quota profile defines authorization and quota management settings to be applied to online charging sessions (to authorize a request for quota for a given service and context type). The usage quota component defines the criteria for choosing a usage quota profile as a set of normalized values.

        • Usage Triggers

          Usage triggers activate network changes based on product offers and subscriber profile data. You apply usage triggers to product offers, which then apply to ongoing subscriber sessions.

        • Virtual Fields

          Use virtual fields to avoid creating multiple pricing configurations if your MATRIXX environment accepts multiple rating message types, for example, messages from Diameter and 5G networks.

      • Application Configuration

        Application Configuration components are used by My MATRIXX for creating pricing plan items and are used by MATRIXX Charging Application and MATRIXX Policy Application for charging and rating.

    • Policy Configuration

      Policy configuration components are used by MATRIXX Charging Application and MATRIXX Policy Application for charging and rating.
