11. Click "Create". The Associated Document gets created and the Agreement Details page opens. You can see the Associations here. ICI allows you to assemble both text and images in the Association file in the main Agreement document.
During creation, the organization unit path of the parent document will be displayed by default as the org path for the associated document, thus improving the usability.
The ability to create association instances as part of agreement creation or update wizard is being introduced in this release. A separate page is displayed, when creating or updating the agreement or amendment, for the user to create, view or delete inline associations. The user also has an option to select the columns and their order in the association grid.
As a prerequisite to enable Inline Associations for an agreement, the agreement’s contract type must be configured. To configure the agreement contract type for inline associations:
1. Go to the Association tab of the agreement contract type, for example Automation Non Editable Agreement.
2. Click the plus icon next to Association. The Add Association content will be displayed.
3. Set the appropriate flags. In order to enable Inline Associations, the Inline Association flag must be set to Yes.
4. As an option you can configure a Rule on this contract type with Copy Attribute Value condition for select attributes, for example for the Contract Value.
1. Go to "Agreements"> "Create" on the "Agreements" page. The Create Agreement page opens.
3. Click Next. The Initial Attributes page opens.
5. Click Next. The Auto-saving agreement and loading inline associations message is displayed and the page reloads displaying the Inline Association page.
7. Enter the appropriate attribute values.
8. Click "Create". The page reloads and the Association count is updated to 1. Alternatively you can click Save And Create New to create one association and to refresh the page for another association to be created. The “Save and Create New” action is only applicable for adding new associations and will not be available for updating or copying existing association.
ICI enables users to define the format for assembly of associations tagged as a Table or file in the main Agreement using Saved Search. This is accomplished by tagging Saved Searches of associated documents in an agreement.
Additional platform support for Associations have been added. These enhancements support full platform functionality for Association metadata that was previously available only for Agreement metadata. The additional enhancements fall into three main areas:
One of the primary functional drivers for these new capabilities is to enable full functionality for Multi-party Agreements.
Building on the functionality around one-to-many relationships in Associations, ICI provides the ability to reference Association counts in Rule criteria. Since Rules can now be written for individual Attributes of an Association, it enables Admins to write Rules based on the count of Associations that have been added of a specific type. All attributes for Associations are available for the given Rule conditions and every Association has a specific sequence number so that the metadata of that sequence is tagged in the Template. You can search selected values of an Agreement or an Associated Document. For a multi-division Agreement, ICI supports writing Rules based on individual instances of the multi-value attributes.
When Rules are written based on the Attributes of the Association, the rules support tagging of the Metadata that belongs to the association. The associations may either be parent-child or peer. After the content control tag is entered, the value of the associated instances’ metadata is placed in the content control as shown in the example below.
You can create a saved search to get the Association attribute and assemble it in the Agreement. You can sort any of the available columns. The name of the saved search is used to tag that association’s Metadata into the Template. This feature works only on Publish Agreement and Edit Agreement.
These changes to the attribute are done by editing the content control in Word manually. The example below shows the content control tag.
Note: This is not available in ICI Word Add-in.
Example:
ICMAssociation|AssociationSavedSearchName{0}.ICMClientContactPerson

The functionality of alerting users on redlining of changes in Association tagged as a table is visible through the Versions tab of the Agreement document. Let’s see an example where the user edits a table tagged as Association and then uploads a revised Agreement to ICI and how ICI alerts the user regarding the changes made in the table tagged as an Association.

When modifications are made using the Icertis Experience for Word, a user can view the changes in the Associated table of the published Agreement.
ICI alerts the user and presents a summary of any text that is added or modified in association(s) tagged as file(s).
The following actions take place as soon as a new agreement version is uploaded:

The localization support has been provided for association entities assembled as a file, table or saved search in a single as well as bilingual template. The localization covers attribute data types such as string masterdata lookup, choice/multi-choice, Date and DateTime Format, Percentage, Number, Boolean and Currency format, as well as attribute groups and extension attributes on ICI UI.
This support will be available with the version upgrade without any further configuration. Here are some points to keep in mind regarding the localization for attribute values of tagged associations:
When the localization is not defined, the attribute values for association entities will be displayed in a language depending on specific business criteria. To apply the localization in ICI, Administrators should maintain the translation values against respective resource keys using the Translation Editor tool. Refer to theLocalization support across ICI for more details on the business scenarios.

ICI enables users to create association instances as part of agreement creation or update wizard. When creating or updating an agreement or amendment, users can create, view, or delete inline associations.
This inline associations functionality has been extended to contract request create/update wizard as well. The users can create, view or delete associations while creating or updating the contract requests.
On a separate note, a file drop zone similar to the one in agreements, has been made available on the contract request details page for the configured associated document. Support has also been added for dynamic associated document rule evaluation for partially created and saved contract requests.
This file drop functionality available on the associations grid of the agreement details page has been extended to inline associations grid in agreement as well as contract request creation wizard. The inline association functionality now supports dynamic associations for agreements, amendments and contract requests.
1. Enable the Inline Association flag while associating the association contract type with the parent contract request contract type and publish it.
2. Click “Agreement Management > Create Request” on the ICI home page. The Create Contract Request page opens.
3. Select the contract request contract type for which Inline Associations are configured.
4. Click Next. The Attributes page opens.
5. Update the attribute values.
6. Click Next. The contract request gets auto saved and the Inline Associations page is displayed.
The configured associations are displayed as the different tabs on the Inline Associations page.
Users have the option to drag-and-drop the association files into the “Drop files here…” area provided. In this case, an association gets created with the same name as the file name.
7. Click Add. The Create Association popup is displayed.
8. Enter the association details.

11. Once the required associations are created, click Next to continue with the Contract Request creation wizard. The remaining workflow continues as before.
The created associations are displayed in the left navigation pane, under the Associations tab.
The existing ICI functionalities for associate and inherit, inheritance, auto attachment, event rule evaluation and so on will get executed at partial save (manual/auto) and create/update user actions and will continue to work with inline associations as is.
If an agreement / contract request that has not yet been saved, it will be auto saved when the user lands on the inline association page. This will enable the user to see list of evaluated associations on the inline association page.
For an agreement/contract request that has been previously saved, the user will have to explicitly update (and save) the agreement/contract request to see the new changes on the inline page.
The Dynamic Association Rule evaluation is dependent on technical configuration.
