Apply Priorities

Use the Priority tab to determine the order in which valid product offers are applied during rating. If a subscriber owns multiple product offers, the one with the highest priority is applied. If two product offers have the same priority, one is chosen arbitrarily.

About this task

For information about the settings on this page and how they are used in the formula that MATRIXX Charging Application uses to select offers for rating an event, see the discussion about offer priority generators. The acceptable numerical values are 32-bit integers; the higher the number, the higher the priority. Negative numbers are acceptable.

Procedure

  1. In Edit Offer Revision offer_name, click the Priority tab.
  2. (Optional) To give the product offer a fixed priority, click Static Priority and enter a priority value (integer) in Static Priority.
    You can also use the highest or lowest strings in this field to set the highest or lowest offer priorities. Exceeding the maximum allowed value (2147483647) causes an error.
  3. (Optional) If you have specified a primary balance on the Balances tab, to base the dynamic priority on the primary balance's expiration date, click Balance Expiration and enter a priority value in Balance Expiration Coefficient. You can select a primary balance for the offer on the Balances tab.
  4. (Optional) To base the dynamic priority on a product offer priority generator:
    1. Click Priority Generator and enter a coefficient priority value in Priority Generator Coefficient.
    2. Next to Priority Generator Name, click Select and click a priority generator in the list.
    3. In Select Priority Generator, click Select.
      Note: A warning displays if a priority generator is not selected when you click Select.
  5. (Optional) Deselect Use for Policy so that dynamic priorities are applied only when the Policy Quota Action Type is defined on the product offer General tab.
  6. Click Save.
    The priorities are saved to the revision.
