Field Definitions

You can add MATRIXX Data Container (MDC) fields to your pricing plan and use them as a quantity type on which to base rating or to define the tiers used for closed user group normalizers.

For example, you can add the fields listed in Example Field Definitions to a pricing plan and charge for usage differently based on their value at the time of the event.

Table 1. Example Field Definitions
MDC Field Scenario
MtxDiamRoMsg ServiceInfmsInfsgSize Set up charges based on the size of an MMS message.
MtxGroupObject SubscriberCount Set up grants based on the number of subscribers in a group.
MtxProductOfferExtension MyCustomGLField Set up discounts based on a General Ledger (GL) ID associated with a purchased offer.
The field can be located in the network message, or in a supported MDC. All MDCs for which a field definition can be created are listed in the container list in Edit Field Definition in My MATRIXX. MDCs include the following:
  • MtxSubscriberObject
  • MtxDeviceObject
  • MtxGroupObject
  • MtxUserObject
  • MtxUserExtension

If the field is located in the MtxGroupObject MDC, when you create the field definition, you must specify the group tier value to examine during rating.
