Description

This is a description of the award and one of the fields available in reports and mail merges. Usually it's the same as the award's type, but you can edit it here. Changing the description of an award type does not affect the description here in awards which already exist, only in the name of the award going forward.

Status

The descriptions here are guidelines, VSys will let you use them for things other than the reasons here with one exception: Awarded is the only type that's considered when determining if someone already has this award.

Nominated	Applied when VSys automatically creates the award.
