Offer Management Rule
The Offer Management Public Template allows our users to create a centralised location where offers to customers can be controlled.
The Offer Management Public Template is available to all customers but must be used in conjunction with the Offer Lookup Rule Rule. To use it, create an empty Rule in your Client and then pull in the “Offer Management” Tile from Public Templates. This Tile has been configured to work independently and does not need any other Tiles to allow it to work.
Save the Rule and name it appropriately. Remember the name of the Rule chosen here will be used to call this Rule from your other Rules so keeping it clear and consise is advantageous.
Once Saved, open the data grid to setup and manage your offers.
Don’t forget you can output your Data Grid to excel, edit it locally and then load the Data Grid back in. Useful if you have a series of defaults you want to use regularly. Just keep the default values on your desktop to start the process.
