What happens when you blacklist an incentive?

When you blacklist an incentive, it will never show up in the Quote Phase for a job, appear in the incentive drawer, or apply to any future quotes.  You can blacklist incentives by incentive type or by selecting specific incentives.  Please follow the instructions below to set up incentive blacklists.

How do I blacklist an incentive?

Read-only users will be able to see a list of incentives that are blacklisted for their organization, but they will not be able to make changes to this list. 

If you are an admin user for your company and you want to make it so that it a certain incentive will not show up on a quote for a job you can use the Incentive Blacklist tool in the Quote Phase settings. 

1. First, navigate to Settings by clicking the gear icon on the top right 

2. Then, select Quote Phase on the left menu bar

3. Then navigate to the Incentive Blacklists tab and select the Blacklist Incentive button 
   
   
   

   Open

   

4. Select the Incentive you'd like to blacklist, you can choose an entire Incentive Type (Depreciation, ITC, STC, Rebate, SREC, PBI, PTD, or Custom) or a Specific Incentive (this will auto-populate with all the all single incentives available to your org.)
   For example, if you select Incentive Type - ITC all ITCs will be blacklisted; if you want to blacklist the 26% ITC, you would need to select the Specific Incentive - Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit with the .26 value.
