General Description

User can use points to buy products in the web shop. It is possible to insert and withdraw points to users’ accounts using the import feature.

Import Group

Import points information

Business Rules

  • The points of users can only be deducted or inserted. It is not possible to change the total points amount of a user by importing a new total. To get a new total you must know the current total and insert or withdraw the amount necessary to achieve the new desired total.
  • To withdraw points using import you must state a negative number in this column. To insert points using import you must state a positive number in this column.
  • Generally you just want to insert points for existing users, since they earned these points through processes external to the system (this could be users who answered a questionnaire in another system). In this case you will put a positive amount in this column (means insertion of points) and make sure each user has a user_id specified.
  • To update this field for existing users, you must select a User_Id column in step 1 of the import wizard and the value of this column will be used to determine which user’s record to update.

Validation

  • Points must be integer, either positive or negative, otherwise, an error message will be shown to inform user that an error has occurred. Error type: ERROR (the import job will not be allowed to be executed).

Notes

  • Please refer to points timestamp and points description to know how to import more information on the points you insert or withdraw from users.
