Value pools
A value pool tracks the monetary amount of included usage that a subscription spends in a rating period. A subscription can have multiple value pools, for example, a mobile subscription may have a $100 value pool for local calls and a $50 value pool for mobile data downloads.
Smile resets each value pool to $0 at the start of each rating period and when a subscription changes plan. The value pool limit is pro-rated for incomplete rating periods, for example, if a subscription changes plan halfway through a month.
Default values for subscription value pools are defined on:
- value pool limit—defined on the plan
- value pool alert thresholds—defined on the service
You cannot change the default value pool limit or alert thresholds for a subscription.
Note: For more information about configuring value pools, see the Configuration
Guide.
