What are UDR Source Categories?

UDR Source Categories is a module which is used to configure categories used for classifying the UDR Source that initiated the Service, into generic groups with similar attributes.

 

Note

UDR Source Categories can also be used as conditions for Tiered Rates in Usage Service Catalogs or Additive Discounts.

Copying Source Categories from existing Destination Categories is explained here.

 

  • Navigate to UDR Source Categories and explore existing entries via the Summary page. UDR Source Categories follow a hierarchical structure, with 'parent' rows linked to multiple 'children' rows directly beneath them.
  • Click on the link (Name or Number) of the entry of your interest to open a modal with the related details. Select an existing Category for the 'parent' to make the specific Category a 'child' or erase the 'parent' name to make the specific Category a 'parent' itself.
  • Either SAVE the changes or cancel (X) and go back to the Summary page. 
  • Create a new Category (ADD) or delete an existing one (REMOVE).
  • Use EXPAND ALL  to view 'parents' and 'children' and COLLAPSE ALL to only view 'parents'.
