When customizing the E-card, you will have two options available.
- Map E-Cards with recognition programs.
This allows for specific E-Cards to be assigned to particular recognition programs.
- Map E-Cards with award reasons
This allows to connect award reasons with dedicated E-Cards. When the user selects an award reason in the program, the predefined E-Card is automatically selected.
The Force E-Card option is available only when one award reason is mapped with an E-card. If this option is chosen, the user will not be able to add any free text or select any other E-card. Whenever the award reason is selected, the E-card will be pre-populated.
