Deals within EnergySteward.com can optionally have specific attributes created and assigned.  These attributes can be anything about the deal which you feel you would be beneficial at 'tagging' the deal.  For example, you can setup an attribute called 'Park & Loan' and post this attribute on just thos deals that are park and loan deals.  You can setup 'Backfill' as an attribute and tag those deals which should be considered 'Backfill' deals.   Basically, the deal attributes provides you a mechanism to define new fields to categorize and identify your deals.  Deal attributes can be setup within the deal attribute configuration area.  The following screen is where you add, browse, update and delete attributes on deals.

Delete Grid Button (red x) - Click this next to the applicable attribute that you want to permanently delete.  When you delete an attribute, then all information relevant to that deal attribute will be permanently deleted. Important note: You will be presented with a confirmation ("Are you sure...?") dialog box prior to deletion.
