Attribute[edit]


= Attribute =

Attributes or metadata are the key components of an Agreement. Attribute data is displayed&nbsp;on contracts and associated documents.

Attributes are of two types:

*Global: These Attributes are used for all Contract Types. 
*Local: These Attributes are used for specific Contract Types. 

To view available Attributes:

1.&nbsp;'''Click''' the ''Configuration'' tile on the ''Dashboard'', and then '''click''' the ''Attributes'' tile. The ''Atrributes''&nbsp;page opens. On this page you can view a list of all the available attributes, Edit, or Add Attributes.

For example,&nbsp;'''select&nbsp;'''''Integrated&nbsp;''if source is inherited.&nbsp;
<div class="note-box">'''Note''': If you select the source as Integrated: ''Is Editable, Is Mandatory, Defined By Rule, Is Inherit ''and''Is Conditional'' fields become unavailable.&nbsp;</div>

*Is Default:&nbsp;'''Click'''&nbsp;''On''&nbsp;to enable rules to be set on the attribute. 
*Is Editable:&nbsp;'''Click'''&nbsp;''On''&nbsp;to make the attribute editable in the Agreement, else&nbsp;'''select'''&nbsp;''Off''. 
<div class="note-box">&nbsp;'''Note''':&nbsp;If you select&nbsp;''On''&nbsp;in the&nbsp;''Is Editable&nbsp;''field''', '''the&nbsp;''Tracking Attribute''&nbsp;and the&nbsp;''Is Unique''&nbsp;fields are available.</div> 
*Is Mandatory:&nbsp;'''Click'''&nbsp;''On''&nbsp;to make the attribute mandatory. 
*Tracking Attribute:&nbsp;'''Click&nbsp;'''''On''&nbsp;to make the attribute editable throughout the Agreement lifecycle.

*Defined by Rule:&nbsp;'''Click'''&nbsp;''On''&nbsp;to make the attribute editable throughout the Agreement lifecycle. 
*Is Inherit:&nbsp;'''Click'''&nbsp;''On''&nbsp;if you want the attribute to inherit the data from Associated Documents. 
*Is Searchable:&nbsp;'''Click'''&nbsp;''On''&nbsp;to make the attribute easy to search.

=== Editing an attribute ===

In ICM, you can edit an existing attribute. Editing the attribute doesn't have any effect on the Contract Types where it is used.<br/> You can use the edited attribute to create new contract types. &nbsp;

'''Note:&nbsp;'''To edit an attribute in all the entities where it is used (Clauses, Templates, Agreements), go to the ''Attributes''&nbsp;tab of appropriate Contract Type, edit the attribute, and then publish it.

To edit an attribute:

1.'''Click''' ''Configuration&nbsp;''on&nbsp;My Dashboard. The ''Configuration'' page opens.

2. '''Click''' ''Attribute&nbsp;&nbsp;''on the ''Configuration'' page. In the ''Available Attribute'' list, select an attribute that you want to edit.

Alternatively, you can type the name of the attribute in the ''Search'' box, and then '''select''' the attribute. The ''Edit Attribute'' page opens.

3. Modify the existing information as required, and then '''click''' ''Save''. The ''Success! Attribute updated successfully''&nbsp;message is displayed at the bottom of the page.

You can modify all the field values except attribute code and attribute name.
