Invalidation Overview
Invalidation is the term Sighten uses when there are changes to the inputs that will impact quote and savings values. Invalidation happens after changes are made to the customer's system design. After modifications have been made, Sighten recalculates all impacted quotes and updates relevant information that appears on proposals and documents.
Invalidation Triggers
Invalidation can happen when modifying a system and is triggered when the following occurs:
- Changes project
- Changes to usage
Invalidation Results
After invalidation has happened, you will see the changes reflected in the quote page, proposals that have not been previously downloaded, and any newly generated documents. The changes you see are dependent on the changes you make.
Changes made to the system may update the install cost and estimated savings values displayed on the quote page. Additionally, any information that references the system will update on proposals that have not yet been downloaded or and newly generated documents.
