Overview

This step-by-step guide shows Program Admins how to add award names to a program in Next.
 

What are Award Names?

Before you can set up awards in any award cycle, you must first add the award names at the program level. 

These names create the pool of awards available to each award cycle in the program. When setting up awards at the cycle level, you'll choose which ones to use. 

Setting up awards for a cycle involves three parts:

1. Add Award Names at the program level --> (this article)
2. Set up Awards in the award cycle --> see Award Setup
   
   ⚠️IMPORTANT: If you don’t add the Award Names at the program level, they won't appear for selection in Award Setup.
    
3. Create an Award Agreement for the award(s) --> see Award Agreement Templates

Step-By-Step Instructions

To add or edit award names for your program:

1. Open the Program > Click Program Settings in the left-hand menu.

2. Click Program Setup (if not already selected) in the left-hand menu.

3. Click the Award Listing box. 

4. To change the name of the default award:

a. Select the "Default Award Title" text.

b. Enter the new name.

5. To add a second Award Name: 

a. Click into the "Add Another Award…" box below the first award.

b. Enter the name.

c. Click the + icon next to the textbox.

d. Repeat this process until all award names for all award cycles in the program are added.  
 

6. Once all awards have been named, click Save Changes in the upper-right corner.



 

Important Notes

• Award Names can be updated at any time. 
  • Once the name is edited, it will be updated throughout the program and all cycles using that award.
     
• To delete an Award Name, click the red X next to the textbox. 
  
  
   
• Award Names that are "in use" cannot be deleted. Next will note if the award is in use.
