Take advantage of this feature by following these steps to get started.

Access the Engagements section

1. Sign in to the Partner Center dashboard and select the Incentives tile.
2. Select MCI Engagements from the menu.

Engagements overview

The Engagements page lists all earning opportunities, separated by solution area. You can select a solution area below the Incentives | Engagements heading to view the list of available engagements for that solution area. You can also filter the engagements by location, status, and role.

• The Engagements listing shows name, availability, role, eligibility details and number of active customers for each engagement.
• The Availability column lists the status for each engagement as upcoming, active or expired.
• The Eligibility column provides the eligibility status of enrolled locations.
  • A green icon indicates one or more earning locations for that specific engagement. The number of earning locations out of enrolled locations is displayed next to the green icon.
  • No green icon means none of the enrolled locations are earning on the engagement.
• The Attention required tab lists any important actions that you need to take. Selecting an engagement will take you to its Summary page. Once there, you can go to the Customers page and Eligibility page.

Summary page

Each engagement's Summary page provides a high-level description of the earning opportunity, along with the partner qualification criteria, customer qualification criteria and rates.

Eligibility page
