Setting your Preferences

You can personalize the ICI user interface as per your preferences for a better user experience.

You can link multiple values of an Attribute as an Alias of each other. It can be done through Alias Master which will be a default master in ICI. This functionality helps you to get a consolidated search result on searching any of the linked alias values, instead of creating separate searches for each of these linked values and aggregating them.

You can choose your language preference to navigate through ICI. ICI supports localization to better connect with global customers by translating values in local languages using its “Translations Editor” tool. When you change the language preferences from user Settings, then the localized value in the selected language will be reflected across ICI for:

  • Alias Master
  • Status and Business Status
  • Type of paper
  • Signature Type and Signature Sequence
  • Choice and Multi-choice attributes
  • Contract Type Description
  • Default text in the search field
  • Notification Category and Events
  • Reason Codes
  • Association entities assembled as a file, table, or saved search as a table in a single as well as bilingual template 

The localization covers data types such as Masterdata Lookup (String Attributes), Choice/Multi-choice, Date and Time format, Percentage, Number, Boolean, and Currency attributes format in Icertis Experience for Word. Additional localization support is now provided for attribute groups and extension attributes on ICI Web. 

The UI elements will be displayed in English if there are no local values available in the preferred language for that specific element in the ICI system. When the localization is not defined, the attribute values for association entities will be displayed in a language depending on specific business criteria.

From user Settings, if you change the language preferences then the localized value will be reflected in the Alias Master.

To view the settings:

1. Click "User Settings" on the far-right on the top. A drawer slides out from the right.

Out-of-office Tasks Setup - Auto Delegation

The Auto-Delegation functionality for your tasks allows you to delegate your tasks to other users for the desired period. Utilizing auto delegation capabilities, users will be able to create complex delegation structures and manage their tasks more efficiently.

The business users can:

  • Set multi-level auto delegations: Multi-level delegations allow automatic delegation of user’s tasks to the next delegate in a sequence up to a third level, when the subsequent delegates have also set up delegations overlapping with the selected time period.
  • Set conditional delegations: Conditional delegations will selectively delegate a user’s tasks to another user based on saved searches. The delegation will take effect only if the set conditions are met.
  • Reorder delegation sequence: While setting multiple delegations, users can reorder the evaluation sequence to suit their needs.

The validation messages will be displayed to assist users while setting up auto delegations in cases where a similar delegation already exists, delegation dates overlap, or a delegate is already out of office so that the user can make appropriate decisions.

Users can also view the recently expired 15 delegations which they can reactivate by updating, and reusing while setting up the delegations structure.

On the "Auto Delegation" tab,  

To delegate your tasks to another user for the desired period:

1. Select the dates on which you want to start and end the delegation in the "Time Period" fields. 

The current date is selected by default in the from date field. Also, you cannot select the past date in "Time Period".

2. Select the desired "Delegation Condition" based on which the tasks would be delegated to the selected user. For example, "All Agreements".

8.0-Basic Set Up-Auto Delegation0.PNG

2. Click the "Add User" icon to select a user to whom you want to delegate the tasks in the "Delegate To User" field. The "Select User" drawer opens displaying all provisioned users.

3. Select a user and click "Add". For example, AE User10.

The delegation will be set up for user John; however, if John is not available during the selected dates and has set up delegations herself, tasks will be automatically delegated further to that user. This multi-level auto delegation takes place up to the third user in the delegation chain.

5. Click "Delegate". The Auto Delegation is set up. 

The set delegation will take effect when the Delegation Conditions are satisfied.

For example, All the agreements of the logged-in user who has set up the delegation, those agreements will be delegated to "AE User10" for the mentioned Time Period.

The Delegation table shows all currently active delegations for the logged-in user on the "Active Delegations" tab.

8.0-Basic Set Up-Auto Delegation1.PNG

The last 15 expired delegations are displayed under the "Expired Delegations" tab. You can reactivate the expired delegation by editing it from the last column.

8.0-Basic-setup-Auto Delegation2.PNG

You can perform the following actions on the set delegations:

  • Edit
  • Delete
  • Reorder Sequence

Editing the Auto Delegation

You can modify active as well as inactive delegations. Updating inactive delegations will reactivate them.

Deleting the Auto Delegation

Click the "Delete" trash icon in the Actions column of the "Active Delegations" grid corresponding to an Auto Delegation you want to remove. For example, Delegation set to John.

 

Reordering the Auto Delegation Sequence

The delegation assignment will be evaluated as per set precedence. You can reorder and change the precedence sequence for all active delegations.

1. Click "Reorder Sequence" on the "Active Delegations" tab. All active Delegations set by a logged-in user will be displayed on a drawer.

Note: You need to add more than one record for the "Reorder Sequence" button to appear with different date ranges and conditions.

 

8.0-Basic Set Up-Auto Delegation-ReOrder0.PNG

2. Reorder Auto-Delegations using Up and Down action arrows in the last column corresponding to Delegations.

8.0-Basic Set Up-Auto Delegation-ReOrder.PNG

3. Click "Save" on the drawer. The modified order is saved and Delegations are displayed accordingly on the "Active Delegations" tab.

 
The details of the multi-level auto delegations are captured in an audit and you can view the same from the "History" tab under "Show Details" on any of the delegated entity’s Details page.
Refer History page for more details.

For example, an agreement delegated for approval by Delegetee to Delegation user.

Change UI Theme and Accessibility

6. Toggle the "High Contrast Mode" (Yes/No) 

To make the web content or application more accessible to users having challenges in reading the content, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 covers a wide range of recommendations.

The themes will support Accessibility WCAG 2.0 by enabling the “High Contrast Mode” setting.

By default, the setting is disabled. By enabling this mode, the readability of UI components is improved in the following ways:

  • Text becomes dark
  • Icons become darker
  • Form fields border becomes dark
Note: Applicable to only gray-colored UI components
 

7. Select "Theme Color".

Users can see six new out-of-the-box deep and light ICI theme colors under the themes setting:

  • Deep color shade includes purple, blue, and red colors.
  • Light color shade includes light blue, orange, and green colors.

The color set here in Preferences will override the default setting done by the Administrator from "Application Settings" under the "Admin" navigation menu on top.

If the agreement records are being uploaded with the bulk action menu, the bulk upload excel sheet or Workbook created has a column “Theme Name” reflecting the new color theme choices in the dropdown.
