Adding Award Recognition Levels Paige Freeman January 08, 2024 15:28 Updated When a nominee wins an award, he/she is usually granted some sort of recognition. This may be a plaque or certificate, a cash amount, a product (e.g., lifetime membership), or acknowledgment at an awards dinner. Some of these items may be provided by a sponsor. Multiple recognition items can be defined per award, and levels can be established for tracking purposes. For example, an award may include First, Second, Third, and Honorable Mention, each receiving its own recognition. Recognition is typically added to award winners after the nomination period is over, the award is no longer displayed on the web, and the nominations have been reviewed. The prize itself is just a description. Even if a product is linked, the system will not automatically fulfill it. For example, if the prize is lifetime membership, an order for the “Lifetime Membership” product will not be created automatically. This must be manually done in the web client.
