Hours (ScheduleIncentive)
Used with the Percentage method to determine the length of the incentive schedule.
Increment
When this value is set up, the submitted bid must be an increment of this value starting from the Maximum Bid amount. For example, if the maximum bid is $30.00 and the Increment is .50, the user could submit a bid for $30.00, $29.50, $29.00, etc.
With this example, if the user submits a bid for $28.75, an error message is generated because this is not an increment of .50. If there is no value set up in this field, there are no incremental restrictions on the amount the user can submit.
Note: If there is no value entered in the Maximum Bid field, then the Increment value will be set to zero.
