What are Name Day Application Run Definitions?

Name Day Application Run Definitions are used to define the rules by which the Name Days will be applied on Contacts based on the Name Day Rules configured through the Contact Information Definitions.

Run Definitions, must be submitted once created and will be executed once or on a recurring basis, based on the defined scheduling settings. Once a Definition is executed, a Process Run is logged and once the Run is completed, the log information will be available in the respective section.

The user has the option to delete the specific run as long as it is not yet executed (still in 'Draft' state).

For a Definition to be submitted it needs to have an 'Effective' Life Cycle State. The Life Cycle State can be changed between 'Effective' and 'Not Effective' using the dedicated action.

  • Navigate to Name Day Application Definitions and explore existing records via the Summary page
  • Click on the link (name or number) of the record of your interest to access the Data Entry page and see more detail, or submit the Definition. 

  • Use the Actions Menu to create a NEW Definition, modify (EDIT), or DELETE an existing one.  

  • Use BACK to return to the Summary page and CANCEL to revert any unwanted changes made to the Definition.

Check the Validations & Restrictions Table below for a list of available Actions when working with Name Day Application, including each Action's related validations, restrictions, and a description of its system process. View the Attributes Table for a comprehensive description of the Name Day Application fields.
