What are Reward Offers Evaluation Run Definitions?

Reward Offers Evaluation Run Definitions are a set of business rules, used by Reward Offers Evaluation Runs to evaluate Rewards Participants and their related information against the Reward Offers provided by their Participating Reward Scheme. 
The result of the Reward Offers Evaluation Run is Award Transactions and Spend Transactions that will debit or credit the Wallet of the Rewards Participant accordingly.

Run Definitions must be submitted once created and are executed once or on a recurring basis, depending on the defined Scheduling Settings. Each time a Definition is executed, a Process Run is logged, and once the Run is completed, the information is available in the respective screen.
The user has the option to delete the specific run provided it has not been executed (still in 'Draft' state).
A Definition must be in an 'Effective' Life Cycle State to be submitted.  The state can be changed between 'Effective' and 'Not Effective' using a dedicated action.

  • Navigate to Reward Offers Evaluation Run 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.
