Once your Contest Rules are created they will be available for you to choose from when setting up a contest PRF. Assigning rules is a step in the Set Up Wizard. There you will choose all Rules that apply to this contest.
The Set Up Wizard will open when you click the Wizard tab in the PRF Details page. Once you get to the Assign Rules step in the Wizard, click into the Rules field to see the contests rules you have created and choose the rules needed for this specific contest. There is also a +New Rule tab which will allow you to create a new rule from this view rather than back in the Contest Rules tab in your settings.
There is also a quick view tab under Actions in the PRF details page called Assign Rules which will bring you directly to the Assign Rules step in the Wizard to manage the contest rules.
Why assign contest rules?
Contest rules are assigned to contest PRF's to help ensure only eligible winners are assigned to a prize. If a winner doesn't meet the eligibility rules, vPromotions will flag that winner when you attempt to assign them and provide a reason and the winner's history.
By default there will be a checkbox to Override ineligibility and assign the winner anyway, however that default feature can be turned off for your market if you prefer back in your Settings - Firm Tab - Firm Options (you must be a firm admin to access that option). Promotions Director, Program Director and General Manager ability users WILL still have the override option.
