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'.
