You can define a set of profile rules for the profile tag fields configured to appear in the Edit Subscriber and Edit Product Type screens. The profile rules are applied at run time to help prevent invalid data from being entered in profile tag fields.

For details on defining profile rules, see Rule Definition.

You can set up a subscriber config definition for a specific service provider, or for a specific service provider and product type combination. The configuration is applied to a Subscriber based on the product type specified for the subscriber's wallet.

The default product type is None. The configuration defined for this product type is used where no specific configuration has been defined for the subscriber’s product type.

Set the default product type by selecting a product type from the Product Type drop down list at the top of the Subscriber Profile Manager screen.

Here are the rules used to determine which subscriber config definition will be used to display subscriber information in the Edit Subscriber screen.

1. If the service provider and product type specified for the subscriber's wallet match a subscriber config product type definition, then this definition will be used.

2. If there is no match for the product type then the subscriber config definition for the service provider's default product type None will be used.

The fields included in a subscriber group can be accessed in the Edit Subscriber screen provided the user has been given sufficient privileges.

User access permissions are managed through the User Templates defined in the SMS User Management screen. They can be set for all the fields in the subscriber group, or for selected fields.

This table describes the privileges that may be assigned to a field.

Note: For information on creating and maintaining user Templates, see NCC SMS User's Guide.

Where secondary or shared wallets are to be used, you are strongly advised to design screens that place the wallet information on a separate panel. You should not include any specific subscriber details in this panel.

Here is a list of all the items that relate to the wallet and which should be configured to appear on a separate wallet panel. All other details fields, profile tags and profile panel information relate to the subscriber:

• Balances table panel

• Wallet expiry details panel

• Wallet history panel (wallet history and creation date)

• Wallet info panel

• Wallet state

• Product type

Example

To see the importance of keeping wallet information separate, consider these two scenarios:

1. A subscriber has both a primary and a secondary wallet. In this case there will be independent wallet information for each wallet, and a single set of subscriber information (profile panel, details fields, and any profile tags).

2. Two subscribers have independent primary wallets and a shared secondary wallet. In this case the two subscribers will have independent subscriber and primary wallet information, and therefore independent profile panel, details fields and profile tags. However, there will be a single set of wallet information for the shared secondary wallet. This means that the profile panel, details fields and profile tags displayed when a user accesses the secondary wallet, will depend on which subscriber is selected.

The tag names for profile fields are defined on the Profile Tag Details tab in the ACS Configuration screen.

This table describes the supported data types for profile tags.

You can define a set of zones that can be used to determine the location of a subscriber.

To define a zone, you must first define the zone profile group field using a ZONE profile tag.

ZONE profile tags are configured in ACS. The LCP ZONE profile tags, Home and Work, are all configured at installation. All other zone profile tags are user defined and must conform to the configuration shown in this table.

For more information about profile tags, see ACS User's Guide.
