Adding Award Conditions

Many awards programs have prerequisites or eligibility requirements, known as conditions, that a nominee must meet before they can be considered for the award. For example, the nominee must have worked X number of years in the industry or held X membership for X number of years. These conditions are specified by staff and are also displayed on the Award Nomination screen for review and validation. Because nominations may be received for nominees that do not meet these eligibility requirements, at some organizations, staff manually review each nominee’s eligibility prior to sending nomination packets to reviewers for a decision. 

ThreeSixty does not validate any conditions.

The Award Conditions page allows organizations to define as many conditions as they want. Conditions can optionally be displayed on the Awards Detail page on the web.

Condition headers can be defined so that conditions can be ordered in logical groupings. An overall condition header can also be defined; for example, “Award Eligibility Requirements”. For more information, please see Defining Award Web Setup.

For a detailed description of each field on the Award Conditions page, please see the table below at the end of the step-by-step instructions.

To add a condition to an award:

1. From the Award Summary, select Conditions from the Award Info tab.
   The Award Conditions page displays.
   
2. The Award Conditions page displays a list of conditions that have been defined for the award. To edit an existing condition, select the edit pencil next to the corresponding condition in the grid.
3. To add a new condition, select +New Award Condition.
   The Add Award Condition page displays.
   
4. Select the Condition Type from the drop-down.
   The Condition Type is either “Condition description” or “Header description”. Define headers to help nominators understand requirements. Headers are also useful if there are multiple sets of conditions. For example, there might be a set of conditions called “Education Requirements” and a set of conditions called “Business Experience Requirements”.
5. Enter the text of the condition or condition header in the Description field.
6. Select Save.
   The condition is added to the Award Conditions page.
7. Repeat as necessary to add additional conditions.
   There is no limit to the amount of conditions for an awards program.
8. The order in which the conditions are to be displayed can be changed by selecting the Up or Down arrows.

Condition Type	Drop-down. Identifies whether the description is a header or is a regular condition. Values in the drop-down are populated based on the fixed codes defined for the AWD "CONDITION_TYPE" system type. If the award has been defined to display on the web, on the Awards Program Detail page, the system will list the header above of the conditions, as highlighted below.
Description	Text box. Indicates the prerequisites or requirements that a nominee must meet before they can be considered for the award. The system will NOT check to see if the conditions have been met. It is the responsibility of the organization to monitor the nominations. This description will be displayed on the Conditions tab on the Award Nominations screen. For more information, please see Verifying Award Nomination Conditions.
