A method and a system to promote a publication are provided. In example embodiments, data is received from a user that is used to create a publication for placement on a networked-based system. An indication to promote the publication on the networked-based system is received. A user interface through which the user selects an option to promote the publication on the network-based system is presented. The publication is published on the network-based system, whereby the publication is promoted based on the option selected to promote the publication.

System and method to promote a publication

A method and a system to publish a promotion at a point-of-sale are provided. For example, a preliminary selection associated with a purchase from a user may be received. A promotion may be published to the user at a point-of-sale associated with the purchase after the user makes the preliminary selection and before the user finalizes the purchase. The promotion may be based on at least one attribute of past transactions and the preliminary selection.

Point-of-sale promotions

A method and system to publish a promotion at a point-of-sale are provided. For example, a preliminary selection associated with a purchase from a user may be received. A promotion may be published to the user at a point-of-sale associated with the purchase after the user makes the preliminary selection and before the user finalizes the purchase. The promotion may be based on at least one attribute, where the at least one attribute is selected from a group including a user attribute and an attribute associated with the preliminary selection.

A method and apparatus for converting codes between applications is provided. User defined conversion rules are applied to either convert an internal code into one or more external codes, or to convert one or more external codes into an internal code. Each code conversion rules specifies the conversion between an internal value and one or more external values, and may specify criteria that is met before the code conversion rule is applied. A set of code conversion rules are associated with a user defined code conversion category. The code category may be assigned to one or more fields. When a code is being converted for the field, a conversion rule associated with the code category is applied to convert the code. One or more user specified search key values define criteria for a code conversion rule that are met before the code conversion rule is applied. A user specifies fields that supply values to associate with codes that are being converted. The supplied values are compared with the search key values associated with a code conversion rule to determine whether the particular code conversion rule applies.
