Once you have created a service plan, you can perform various actions on it.

Steps

Accessing the Service Plan Details page

1. From the Ubersmith Dashboard, click Setup.
   
   The Ubersmith Settings page appears.
2. From the Clients section, click Service Plans.
   
   The Service Plans page appears.
3. Click the service plan you want to change.
    
   The Service Plans Detail page appears.

Editing Service Plans

1. From the Service Plan Details page, click on edit in any section.
    
   The Edit Service Plan page appears, with that section’s information displayed.
2. Make any necessary updates you need.
3. Click Update.
    

Adding a Rate Plan to a Service Plan

1. From the Service Plan Details page, click add rate plan.
    
   The Add Rate Plan Service Plan Pricing page appears.
2. From the Rate Plan field, select the rate plan you need or click Add Rate Plan to create a new rate.

3. Enter the price for the service plan. 
   These fields contain a range of pricing options you can charge for the service upgrade. The rows represent selectable renewal periods and the columns are the service plan upgrade’s price and corresponding setup fee along with your cost and corresponding upgrade fee for the upgrade.
   For each price, use the following setting to refine your rate:
   = does not affect the existing default price.
   $ sets a specific price override (always $10 instead of the existing default).
   +/- is a number of dollars more or less than the base default.
   % is a percentage higher or lower than the existing default. 

   Careful attention should be paid to configuring the pricing options. For a monthly fee with an associated one-time setup fee, the price for both should go in the monthly row, since the upgrade option is based on a monthly price. If there was a one-time fee along with a one-time setup fee, both prices should be set in the One-Time fee row.

4. Click Add.
