Note:

You cannot delete a custom rule that is being referenced by other pricing components. The In Use icon indicates that the custom rule is referenced by other rules and that it cannot be deleted:

See "Details Section" for configuring custom rules.

Note:

You can copy the existing rules. When you click the Duplicate icon, a copy of the selected rule is added below the selected rule.

You can add more rows in the Price Tags table to create more setup components with their own sets of price tags. For each row in the Price Tags table, you can add more rows in the Price Tag details table to define more price tags within the same setup component.

Within the same setup component, you cannot create duplicate price tags. This means:

• You cannot create multiple Price Tag details rows that specify all of the same values for Resource Id, Resource Unit Type, and Permitted. For example, Tag1 and Tag 2 could not both specify Resource Id: 840, Resource Unit Type: BYTE and Permitted: IP.
• You cannot create multiple Price Tag details rows that specify a subset of the same values for Resource Id, Resource Unit Type, and Permitted. For example, because using Resource Id: 0 means the tag applies to any balance element, if one row specifies Resource Id: 0, Resource Unit Type: BYTE and Permitted: IP, another row could not specify Resource Id: 840, Resource Unit Type: BYTE and Permitted: IP.

If needed, you can create duplicate tags in separate setup components. For example, you could create:

• A row in the Price Tags table for TagGroup1 that includes a row in the Price Tag details table specifying Resource Id: 0, Resource Unit Type: BYTE and Permitted: IP
• A second row in the Price Tags table for TagGroup2 that includes a row in the Price Tag details table specifying the same values for Resource ID, Resource Unit Type, and Permitted.

To modify price tags:

1. In the Price Tags table, click the price tag you want to modify.
2. Modify fields as required:
   • For price tags that are not referenced by other pricing components, you can modify all fields.
   • For price tags that are referenced by other pricing components, you can modify the following fields:
     • Description
     • Rule Type
     • Values

     Note:

     Be sure that you understand the impact that modifying the rules and values will have on the pricing components that reference the price tag.
3. Click Save.

You can delete a price tag only if it is not referenced by any other pricing components.

To delete a price tag:

1. In the Price Tags table, click the row for the price tag you want to delete.
2. Do one of the following:
   • To delete the entire setup component, click the Delete icon in the Price Tags table toolbar.
   • To delete a tag within the setup component, in the Price Tag details table, click the row for the tag you want to delete, and then click the Delete icon in the Price Tag details table toolbar.

   A confirmation message appears.

3. Click OK.

   The selected tag or setup component is removed.

4. Click Save.
