PortaBilling automatically loads the list of records once you open the page. You can turn off data autoload if you don’t want all records to load each time you open the page. To disable data autoload, click Settings and clear the checkbox for the Automatically start searching upon opening the page option. After this, the list of records won’t load until you click Search.

If the search result contains a single record, you can open it automatically by selecting the If the search produces a single result, automatically open it checkbox.

Filter CPE profiles by their name. Type the profile name fully or partially.

Filter CPE profiles by the device model these profiles are used for. Select the needed device model from the dropdown list.

Filter CPE profiles by their status:

• Any – all available CPE profiles.
• Inactive/Discontinued – these are administratively discontinued and/or inactive CPE profiles (making changes to a CPE profile creates a new copy of it, so the previous profile version is shown as inactive). You can’t assign these CPE profiles to devices.
• Active – these are currently effective CPE profiles that you can assign to devices.
• Upcoming – the CPE profiles that you can assign to devices and that will be effective in the future.

Filter CPE profiles by the date when they are effective. Click Calendar and set the date and time, or type it in the “yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm” format (2022-03-19 00:00).

Each entry in the Profile list consists of:

The status of the CPE profile:

• Active – a currently effective profile that can be assigned to devices.
• Discontinued – a discontinued profile that can not be assigned to devices, but can still be used by devices it was previously assigned to. To discontinue a CPE profile, open a relevant profile and select the Discontinued checkbox.

The date and time the CPE profile is effective from.

This is a short description of the CPE profile. To add this column, click Settings on the title bar, click Customize columns, and select the Description checkbox.

To delete a CPE profile, select the checkboxes for the needed profiles and click Delete in the lower right corner. You can’t delete CPE profiles that are assigned to devices.

• Change table settings – click Settings in the title bar to customize columns and change row style.
• Re-order the columns – drag-and-drop the column headers right or left to place the columns in the order you want.
• Re-order the rows – click the arrow (or ) next to the column header to re-sort the rows. For example, this panel displays CPE profiles in alphabetical order. You can re-sort them in reverse order.
• Change the default number of results globally – use the Rows per page dropdown list in the lower right corner to adjust the maximum number of rows that appear on the panel. By default, the panel displays 25 rows. Once the number is changed, it's automatically saved, so the same number of rows is shown for PortaBilling entities, e.g., customer, account, reseller, etc.
