You can select more than one sequential Usage Type, by holding down the **Shift** key and clicking on the first item and the last item in the group you wish to add. You can select multiple Usage Types that are not sequential by holding down the **Ctrl** key and clicking on the individual items you want to add. You can also quickly select a Usage Type by double-clicking on it.

For example, if you add only the International distance type to the selected column, only international calls will be totaled and discounted.
- Enter the ***Usage Type ID*** or ***Name*** directly in the two fields at the bottom of the window. After entering the information, click **New**.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Wildcard characters can be entered in the Name field, but they cannot be entered in the Usage Type ID field (it must be an exact match).
