Contract Custom Fields

Streamline contract management by customizing forms to efficiently capture and categorize contract-related information.

This document guides administrators and consultants through the process of customizing contract forms using custom fields. It explains how to modify default templates, add new custom fields, and configure existing fields to ensure that all necessary and structured information is collected for effective contract tracking, management, and automation settings.

To view the Contract Custom Fields, navigate to Admin > Contract Management > Contract Custom Fields and the below page appears.

Understanding Field Types​

  • Default Fields: These are the primary, built-in fields that come with the initial installation of the system. Default fields are essential for core contract management processes; their names cannot be changed, and they cannot be deleted.
  • Custom Fields: These are additional fields that can be added to the contract form from the Field Pallet. Custom fields provide flexibility to meet specific organizational needs. They can be renamed, modified, and deleted as required.

Customizing the Contract Form​

When managing fields on the vendor form canvas, various customization options are available to help you arrange and configure fields effectively. These options include:

  1. Field Pallet: You can drag and drop the fields from the pallet to add into the form.
  2. Reorder: You can drag and drop the fields to change the order of the form.
  3. Expand/Collapse: You can expand and collapse the fields to show 1 in a row or 2 in a row. If collapsed, the width of the field will get reduced to half.
  4. Duplicate: You can create duplicate fields from the custom fields.
  5. Edit: You can edit the fields, make them mandatory, or change their characteristics.
  6. Remove: You can delete the custom fields.

Adding Custom Fields​

The Field Pallet provides a variety of custom field types that you can add to your contract form. To add a new field, simply drag and drop the desired field type from the pallet onto the form canvas.
