Creating and Managing Bundle

Understanding Bundle Architecture

Bundle Definitions vs Instances

When you create a bundle in the Stacuity platform, you're actually creating what we call a "master bundle" - think of it as a template or blueprint. Each time you apply that bundle to an endpoint, the system creates a "bundle instance" which is essentially a copy of your original template. This is brilliant because it means you can create one master bundle (say, a 15GB monthly bundle) and apply it to multiple endpoints without having to recreate it every time.

Starting the Bundle Creation Process

1. Navigate to Charging → Bundles
2. Click Actions → Create master bundle

3. Define you bundle structure

• Zone Scheme: Defines the geographic and network structure for coverage - Our default Zone scheme is Default 2.0
• Name : A human readable name
• Moniker: Unique identifier for the alias
• Status:
  • Pending : This bundle is still being created, and cannot currently be used on an endpoint
  • Active : This can be used on endpoints
  • Suspended: this can no longer be used on any endpoints.
• Scope: This is important, there are 2 choices here
  • Customer: this bundle can be assigned to all the endpoints within this customer
  • Endpoint: this bundle can be assigned to a specific endpoint.
• Duration: How long each bundle instance remains valid : eg: 1 month
• Iterations: How many consecutive periods the bundle covers

When you first create a bundle, you're essentially creating an empty container with basic settings like duration and scope. Think of it like creating a new data plan template - you've got the name and basic structure, but no actual data allocations yet. These data allocations are called elements.
