# Additional Criteria

You can further define your criteria to help determine the rate a call will be charged if the above rating methods alone do not cover the rate.

When rating calls, the system checks for a Criteria Type. If the Criteria Type is not blank, the system checks for a Criteria Value. If the Criteria Type is blank, the system ignores the Criteria Value field and bases the rate on just the appropriate rating method.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> All Criteria Values must be entered in uppercase (capitals).

You can use a CIC Criteria Type with the following Rating Methods:

- LATA
- NPA
- State
- Country
- Default
- Occurrences
- Minutes

> [!NOTE]

> The hunt order through criteria is CIC, then OCN Tier, then State. An example of when hunting is used: Identical rate plan details exist except one has a CIC criteria, one has an OCN Tier criteria, and one has a State criteria.
