Validating and Activating the Promotion Design

The Promotion Designer comes with the ability to analyze the entire promotion design and check its consistency. Unless a promotion design is validated successfully it cannot be activated.

The validation status of a promotion design is always displayed in the Validation Status bar. A Validation Status of Green (where the status bar appears in the color green) signifies that the promotion design has been successfully validated. A Validation Status of Red (where the status bar appears in the color red) signifies that the promotion design is invalid.

To validate and activate the promotion design

1. Click the Validate button in the upper corner of the promotion design.

   Clicking the button triggers a validation check of the promotion design. If it is invalid, then the reasons are displayed.

2. If there are errors, then correct them.

3. Click the Activate button.

The Activate button is enabled only after the promotion design has been successfully validated.
