Testing an activity

Sponsor Administrators can test an activity before it is rolled out to partners.

You must have set up test mode. Before you enter test mode, make sure that the entire activity can be tested, since your data is not saved from one test session to another.

When you are testing the activity, make sure the navigation in the dialogs works as you expect. If it does not, you can rearrange the components in the Dialog Designer.

Important: To test the predefined activities, you must create dummy partners and test the predefined activities for the dummy partners. You must not use the Test mode to test predefined activities.
  1. Sign in to the PEM Portal as a Sponsor Administrator.
  2. Select Activities. The list of activity definitions is displayed.
  3. Select the activity to test, click the arrow in the Actions column and click Test.
    You can also click Test while editing the activity.

    Tip: It is a good idea to take notes on any changes you want to make to the activity while you are testing. Otherwise, you might forget changes that you want to make.

    If you come to an approval task, Sponsor Task appears in the Status/Action column, and you must click the Sponsor View tab to shift to the sponsor view.
