The Credit Allocation feature lets managers control how many credits each user can use within a set time period.

Credits are automatically given to users based on a cycle, or can be fixed.

You can set the same allocation for all users, or adjust each user separately.

Credit allocation is currently not supported for the "Unlimited Contract" type.

Navigate to the Contract page and select the contract you would like to update the allocation for.
In the "Action" column, click "..." and then select "Edit Contract."
(You must have a Manager role in WaveTrackR to see the edit option.)

On the Contract edit page, scroll to the bottom of the page, where you see 'Users' section. From the drop-down list select users who can use credits then click the 'Save' button.
Next click 'User Credits Allocation' button. 

Image Placeholder
A new window will open when you can allocate credits per user.

In the top-right corner, it also displays "Total Credits Used" and "Contract Remaining Credits."

Image Placeholder

Use the Credit Allocation toggle at the top of the page.

  • On – credits are controlled by rules and cycles

  • Off – no restrictions are applied


Image Placeholder

At the top of the page, you can set a default renewal date and settings.

Image Placeholder

Tick the checkbox to:

  • apply the same settings to all users

This saves time when everyone should have the same allocation.

You can still change individual users later if needed.



Each user can have one of the following 'Renewal' allocation options:

1. Daily
Credits reset every day.
Example: 5 credits per day, resetting at the start of each day.


2.Weekly
Credits reset every week based on the selected day.
Example: 10 credits per week, resetting every Monday.


3. Monthly
Credits reset every month on the selected day.
Example: 20 credits per month, resetting on the 1st of every month.


4. Fixed (Contract)
Credits are allocated for the entire contract period.
This option is used when you want to set a total limit for the full contract duration, rather than a recurring reset.
Example: 200 total credits for a 12-month contract. Credits do not reset and can be used at any time during the contract period.


5. Unlimited
Users have no credit limits and can use credits without any restrictions or reset cycles.



For each user, you can set:

Allocation - Number of credits the user receives per cycle. The allocated credits become available only from the cycle start date. If a user needs to use credits before this date, extra credits must be allocated.

Renewal - Type of allocation:


  • Daily
  • Weekly
  • Monthly
  • Fixed (Contract)
  • Unlimited

Frequency - How often the cycle resets.

Examples:

  • Frequency 1 → every cycle
  • Frequency 2 → every 2 cycles
  • Frequency 3 → every 3 cycles


Example:
Weekly + Frequency 3 + Monday
→ resets every 3rd week on Monday.


On the - Day of week or day of month when the reset happens.

Start Date -shows when the allocation begins.

Next Renewal Date - Shows when the next reset will happen.

Scenario:

  • Allocation: 10 credits
  • Renewal: Weekly
  • Frequency: 2
  • On: Monday
Result: User receives 10 credits every 2 weeks, reset on Monday.


Extra credits are separate from the normal allocation and can be used at any time, including before the next allocation start date begins. 

Image Placeholder

They are used:

  • outside the allocation cycle
  • or before the start date
Example:
If the start date is in the future, the user can still work using extra credits given by a manager.



Changing allocation in the middle of the cycle


You can update a user’s credit allocation at any time during the contract.
This includes changes to:
  • number of credits (allocation amount)
  • renewal type (weekly, monthly, fixed)
  • frequency

What happens when you change the allocation?
Any change to the current cycle will automatically reset the cycle including start date.


When you submit the change:
  • A new start date is created
  • The current cycle ends immediately
  • Credits used in the current cycle reset to 0
  • Total credits used for the whole contract remain unchanged
As soon as you make a change, the system will reset the values. However, the changes will not apply until you click ‘Confirm Credit Allocation’.

Until the new start date begins:
  • The user cannot use the assigned credits allocation
  • The user can use available extra credits
Extra credits allow the user to continue working during the transition period.

Scenario:

Current setup:
  • 10 credits weekly
  • Reset every Monday
On Wednesday, you change it to:
  • 20 credits weekly
Result:
  • A new start date is created
  • This week’s used credits reset to 0
  • The user uses extra credits until the new cycle start date
  • Total contract usage is still tracked correctly


Adding additional users in during contract duration


You can add new users at any time during the contract.

When a new user is added:

  • A separate start date is automatically defined for that user
  • Their allocation begins from this date
  • They follow their own cycle, independent from other users
  • Using credits before the start date
If the start date is in the future:
  • The user cannot use their normal allocation yet
  • You can assign extra credits so they can start working immediately

Extra credits sit outside the regular cycle.

Important considerations

When adding new users, review your overall credit planning:
  • More users may consume credits faster
  • Existing users may run out of credits sooner than expected
  • You may need to increase or adjust allocations for current users
  • It is recommended to recheck allocations for all users after adding someone new.

Scenario:

You add a new user on the 15th of the month.

Cycle start date: 1st of each month
  • Allocation: 20 credits
Until the 1st:
  • The user can only use extra credits
From the 1st, the regular monthly allocation starts automatically



Inactive Users


The Inactive Users section shows users who are not currently receiving credit allocations but who have used credits in the past under the contract.

This section helps administrators understand how many credits were used by users who are no longer actively assigned credits.


Image Placeholder

Inactive users are grouped into two categories.

1. Disabled users are users who no longer use the contract:

  • Their account has been disabled.
  • They cannot receive new credit allocations.
  • The system still shows how many credits they previously used while they were active.

2. Not Assigned users are users who previously used credits but currently do not have a credit allocation:

  • Their account is still active.
  • They are temporarily not assigned credits.
  • They may receive credit allocations again in the future for the same contract.
