The assignment Agreement goes through the workflow of approval and execution processes, and then supersedes the parent Agreement attributes as configured. Thus, the parent Agreement gets assigned to the new parties on the assignment date.
Terminating Executed Agreements: ICIs additional workflow state allows you to terminate executed Agreements.This is useful in business scenarios where an executed Agreement can be terminated only after executing a termination Agreement for it. The termination Agreement goes through the workflow of approval and execution processes, and then supersedes the parent Agreement attributes including the termination date as per the configuration. Thus, the parent agreement gets terminated on that termination date.

[edit]
ICI Business Applications and Implementation Teams can to set smart link as a means of easy navigation across related entities.
Configurators can:
- Configure a smart link across any ICI entity that defines the entity relationships
- Set the configured smart link in the left navigation pane and control its access privileges using ICI standard left pane configuration capabilities
Users can:
- Click on the left navigation link from an agreement contract type that will render the smart link result in grid
- Access existing ICI grid’s capabilities such as searching, sorting, filtering or exporting results as CSV/Excel for Smart Link results
Any changes made to the smart link configuration, will reflect in any subsequent smart link results rendered from the left navigation pane. The filter/search will also work for the right pane grid.
The smart link configured for left pane through saved search settings will only be available on the left navigation pane and will not appear in the 3 dots select action drop down and under Smart links icon on Entity Details page.
Let’s consider an example of entities related in multi-level hierarchy as Agreement > Obligations > Fulfillments. Earlier users had to navigate through obligations in order to access the child fulfillments. Users can now navigate directly from parent agreement to grandchild fulfillments using the smart link added to the agreement’s left navigation pane, thus saving number of clicks and page loads, and improving efficiency.
Defining the relationship between entities using common attributes[edit]
Users can define the relationship between any non related ICI entities using their common attributes by creating a smart link. Users can then add this link to the contract type’s left navigation pane for easy navigation to the linked entities.
