Learn how to set up and use Product Restrictions at the OEM level. Restrictions let you limit certain models, variants or banners to specific authorised retailers (e.g. Electric-certified dealers only), so they only appear on the websites of dealers with the matching authorised retailer status.

1. How to Navigate to The Restriction Reasons Menu

Step 1: Please Login to Dealer Studio.

• https://dashboard.dealerstudio.com.au/

• You will be prompted for your Username and Password

• You will be prompted for your 2-Factor Authentication Method, or SSO verification

Step 2: Once Signed in Please Select the Applicable OEM

• e.g. Mitsubishi NZ

Step 3: Click 'Data & catalogue' on the left, then 'Restriction Reasons'

• Restriction Reasons are the reasons for restricting models to specific authorised retailers. They can be selected when marking a model or variant as restricted, and websites can opt in to each reason

2. How to Add A New Restriction Reason

Step 1: Click 'New Restriction Reason' at the top right

Step 2: Enter a Name for the restriction

• Name (Required): e.g. 'Electric-certified dealer only' or 'Hybrid-certified dealer only'

Step 3: Click 'Save'

• The restriction reason will now show in the list and can be used on models, variants and banners

3. How to Restrict A Model

Step 1: Go to 'Models' on the left and click 'Edit' on the model

Step 2: Scroll to the bottom of the form and toggle on 'Restricted Model'

• When enabled, this model will only appear on websites that have the matching authorised retailer status

• Select the Restriction Reason that applies to the model

Step 3: Click 'Update Model' to save

• Page Banners can also be restricted the same way, using the 'Restricted Banner' toggle on the banner form. Please see 'How to Add in Banners'

Reminder: A restricted model or banner will only show on dealer websites that have opted in to the matching restriction reason. If a model is missing from a dealer's site, check whether it has been marked as restricted.
