Releasing a Promotion Group Definition

When you created a new promotion group definition record, a version of it named Work Space was automatically created and the Locked check box was automatically selected for the version record. After you finish setting up the promotion group definition, you must release this version and refresh the cache to make the promotion group definition available to users.

Promotion group versions affect only the Start Date, End Date, and Active fields of the promotion group. Every other aspect of promotion groups is uniform for all active versions. You must refresh the cache after making any changes to the promotion group definition.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Promotion Groups (Administrators).

1. Navigate to the Administration - Product screen, then the Promotion Groups view.
2. In the Promotion Group Definitions list, select the promotion group definition that you want to release.
