title	Assessment Submission - Measures

Info

The instruction below provides guidance for contractors to complete the required data entry fields when adding measures to the Assessment Submission step.

Some measures will automatically be added to the Measures tab. For measures that are automatically added, they should NOT be deleted. If any of those are deleted, Contractors will have to manually add them back otherwise the system will not allow the Contractor to process the step.

As Measures are configured, calculations for Measure Cost, Incentives, and Savings will begin to populate. Contractors may need to click the Save button a few times to have calculations show correctly. Newly added measures will always appear at the top of the list to make them easier to find and configure. Clicking save will alphabetize all measures but the Funding Information measure. That will always be at the bottom and sums up the calculations for all other measures. Once a new measure is accessed to configure, the previous measure will become read only until it is clicked in again. Be sure to save before leaving this tab otherwise the added and configured measures will be lost.

For a full list of all program measures that may help with this tab, please access the NY HEP Measures List.
