to create a new Loyalty Program Policy.Create a standard policy following the instructions provided in Policy: General.
In the
Policy Lines
tab, type the text that you want printed on the receipt, such as “Congratulations, you have earned xxx points”. The following variables can be calculated and printed on the receipt as part of the policy:%LxFactor

I = loyalty ID
Factor: is the print point factor, it ranges from 1000 to 0.001 with a default of 1. The factor is used to decrease or increase the size of the number of points printed on the receipt. For example, if the factor equals 0.001 and 100 points are earned, then the number of points multiplied by the factor equals 0.1 points earned. 0.1 is the number printed on the receipt. If there are multiple variables on different lines in a policy, you must use the same value for each factor in the policy.
In the above example the policy line would appear as “Congratulations, you have earned %LE0.001 points”. Where % indicates the position in which to insert the variable, L equals loyalty program, E equals earned, and 0.001 is the factor by which the actual points are multiplied to equal the number printed on the receipt. Note that up to 8 policies can be printed on a receipt.
NoteTo ensure that the % command is printed in full on the receipt, we recommended that you do not put the % commands close to the end of a line. Ensure that variables are typed without spaces.
End of the note.Up to 250 policy IDs are valid.
Link the policy to the Loyalty ID, see Loyalty Programs.
