Legacy Upload [edit]
Organizations may have a large number of existing Agreements that are created outside of ICI platform. These are henceforth referred to as Legacy Agreements. Organizations may want to import these Agreements to ICI to leverage its vast capabilities and manage all Agreements within a single platform.
ICI legacy Migration tool helps in migrating these large volumes of legacy Contracts from the Customer system to ICI Application with accuracy and efficiency which helps in creating a central repository. This in turn helps in a shift from Paper base to digitalization.
The highlights of the ICI Legacy Migration Tool are:
- Uploading entities such as Agreements and their respective Teams, Notes, and Commitments in bulk.
- Uploading Associations, Masterdata, User Information and Amendments in bulk.
- Bulk Clause and Template creation, with the power of Attribute/metadata tagging.
- Enhanced validations, including the ability to exclude the specified attributes from being validated.
- Ability to view logs and report of success and failure statuses on legacy UI.
- Record level email notification trigger capability as per customer requirement.
- Reporting capabilities on the uploaded legacy records.
- Email Notifications for batch initiation and completion.
- Support of Peer Association & Linkage types, ensuring no manual work post legacy upload.
- Enabling legacy upload of Agreements with Status as Expired, Terminated.
- Support uploading of files from Sub folder from Task server and blob storage repository.
Important Considerations [edit]
- Only an Administrator can perform a Legacy Upload of the entities.
- The absolute path where the Agreements and other entities documents are saved must be accessible by the task service of the ICI instance. This must be ensured while configuring the ICI instance.
- The Data files created in Excel can only have .xlsx extension.
- For Agreements, only .pdf files are supported. For Associations, several file formats such as .pdf, .docx, .doc, .xlsx, .jpeg, .png and .zip are supported.
- Contract types for the Agreements and other entities that you are trying to upload must be present in the Published state in ICI.
- To upload any Associations, ensure that the relevant contract type has been added in the Associations tab in the parent contract type.
- An attribute that will always have a unique value must be present in ICI so that the relevant value can be used as a Primary Key to map other entities with that Agreement. If such an attribute does not already exist, you must create it. The unique value attribute can be a backend attribute that may not be visible on the UI. However, the Agreement Code attribute, though unique, contains a system-generated value that is generated only after an Agreement has been created thus, cannot be used as a Primary Key for the contract type.
- When adding batches for uploading, it is advisable not to schedule too many batches at close intervals and configure schedules to line-up batches to be uploaded at different times to optimize the processing speed.
- Since this is only a provisioning tool, as such any sort of updates to uploaded records are not supported.
Uploading Entities Using Legacy Upload[edit]
You can use the utility to upload the following entities:
- Agreements with Team, Notes, and Commitment
- Amendments with Team, Notes, and Commitment
- Associated Documents (with or without workflow)
- Masterdata (with or without workflow)
- User Information (with or without Extended Attributes)
- Clauses (with or without Extended Attributes)
- Templates (with or without Extended Attributes)
The Legacy Upload tool follows a simple workflow to upload the aforementioned entities.
The workflow for the Legacy Upload process at a glance:
Creating a Contract Type Entity for Legacy Upload[edit]
To upload legacy records in ICI, there must be a relevant contract type configured in the ICI as per the specific entity type needed for legacy records.
If the contract type does not exist in ICI, you must create the contract type for the entity of legacy records. You must configure the details of legacy records as the attributes in the ICI contract type.
Configuring Contract Type with or without Approval Workflow
You can upload entities such as Associations, Masterdata with or without Approval Workflow using Legacy Upload.
Note: "Agreement" Contract Types have Approval Workflow mandatory.
You can automatically attach the Approval workflow to an entity while processing the Legacy Upload batch. All you have to do is enable the approval workflow in the contract type by setting the Enable Approval Workflow attribute value to Yes.
For entities that have the Enable Approval Workflow attribute value set to No in their contract type, the approval workflow will not follow automatically. You can enable the workflow manually, whenever needed, by clicking the Resume WF under the three dots.
When an Entity that has been uploaded without workflow is viewed in ICI, it will not have any buttons visible on the UI.
To create a contract type:
1. Click the "Configure" > "Contract Types" navigation menu on the top of the page. The "Contract Types" index page opens.
2. Click "Create" on the far right in the title bar. The "Create Contract Type" page opens.
3. Click the Contract Type of the entity for which you want to upload legacy records. For example, "Associated Documents" Contract Type.
4. Enter the "Contract Type Name" and other required details in the "Details" tab. Toggle the "Enable Approval Workflow" to "Yes" if you want to enable the workflow for approval for this contract type with the creation.
5. Click "Next". The "Attributes" tab opens.
6. Select and add the Attributes which are required for the legacy records you are uploading, to map them to the ICI Contract Type.
7. Click "Next" and enter the details on the Associations, Display Preference, and Team tabs to complete the contract type creation following the standard ICI workflow.
Refer to the "Creating Contract Type" for further details on how to configure contract types.
Note: You do not need to create a contract type for amendments as the required contract type is already available when the parent agreement records were created.
Configuring Contract Type with Mandatory Associations
There may be cases where any associated documents are required before an Agreement can move to the Executed, Expired or Terminated state. In that case, you can defer the workflow for the Agreement while uploading, then upload the required Association with workflow attached, and then enable the workflow for the Agreement when needed.
Whether an Association is mandatory or not can be seen in ICI in the following 2 ways:
1. If the "Is Mandatory" flag is set to Yes while adding an Association for a particular Agreement Contract Type, an Association is mandatory.
2. If Prerequisite or Post requisite is selected in the Constraints drop-down list while creating an Associated Document Contract Type, an Association is mandatory.
Creating a Batch for an Entity[edit]
Once the relevant contract type is present in the ICI, you can create a new batch to upload the legacy records in the ICI from the Legacy Upload page.
Creating a Batch for Agreements[edit]
1. Click the "Admin" main navigation menu on the top of the page. The sub-menu tiles dropdown opens.
2. Click "Admin Task". The "Admin Task" page opens.
3.Click the "Legacy Upload" option. The "Legacy Upload" page opens.
4.Click "Create Batch" on the far right in the title bar. The "Create Batch" page’s "Details" tab opens.
5. Identify the entity for legacy records and select the "Legacy Upload Action" accordingly from the dropdown. For example, select "Create Agreement" when you are creating a batch of agreements.
6. Select the "Contract Type Name". The dropdown will show all agreement contract types configured in ICI. For example, ICMMSA
7. Click "Next". The "Attributes" tab opens. The "Available Attribute" section shows all attributes from the selected agreement contract type in the left column. The mandatory attributes like "Name" are already populated in the "Selected Attribute" list
8. Select the attributes for which you want to upload the legacy data in the current batch from the "Available Attribute" section and add to the "Selected Attribute" section using the action arrows. For example, select attributes Name, Contract Description, and Effective Date.
Note: Mandatory and Dependent attributes will be automatically included in the generated workbook.
9. Click "Generate Workbook". The workbook template is generated in the Microsoft Excel format and downloaded at the pre-set download location on your system.
Creating a Batch for Amendments[edit]
The agreement contract type for uploading Amendments is already available in the ICI when the parent agreements were created or unloaded. You can create a set of agreements that you want to upload amendments to, using the Saved Search capability.
To create an amendment batch:
- Navigate to the "Create Batch" page as explained in the above section.
- Select the "Legacy Upload Action" from the dropdown. For example, "Create Amendment". The fields to select Saved Search and Contract Type name are displayed.
- Select a "Saved Search". For example, "All Executed Agreements".
You must create a saved search beforehand to group the agreement records to which you want to add the amendments through Legacy Upload. For example, here, configure the Saved Search for all Executed Agreements. The system would ignore all statuses other than Executed.
Refer to Saved Searches for more details on creating a saved search.
- Select the "Contract Type Name". The dropdown will show all agreement contract types from the selected Saved Search. For example, select "ICMMSA".
- Click "Next" and complete the batch creation for Amendments following the same process as for the creation of the agreement batch.
Creating a Batch for Associations[edit]
Before you proceed to upload Associations using the Legacy Upload, ensure that the parent Agreements are already uploaded. Also ensure that the Associated Document Contract Type has been added in the Associations tab in the parent Agreement Contract Type.
You can upload Associations with or without Approval Workflow using Legacy Upload in the ICI.
Associations can be mapped with their parent agreements using a Saved Search capability. A set of agreements can be created for which you want to upload peer associations by configuring a Saved Search beforehand. The auto-generated workbook will contain the agreements details from the selected saved search as the parent agreements. These details would help users to find the records in the ICI and map them with the Association agreement code in the workbook.
To create an Association batch:
- Navigate to the "Create Batch" page as explained in the "Creating a Batch for Agreement" section above.
- Select the "Legacy Upload Action" from the dropdown. For example, "Create Association". The fields to select a Saved Search and parent Contract Type are displayed.
- Select a "Saved Search" to pick a set of parent agreements.
- Select the "Contract Type Name" for which you want to upload the legacy associations. This dropdown field displays the contract types from the selected Saved Search. For example, select "ICMAutomationBasicAgreement".
The "Association" field is displayed to select the associated document contract type for the legacy associations you are uploading in this batch.
This dropdown field displays all Associated Document Contract Types configured under the "Association" tab for the Contract Type that you have selected in the "Contract Type Name" field.
- Select the "Association" contract type. For example, "ICMAssociationCT1".
- Click "Next" and complete the batch creation for Association following the same process as for the creation of the agreement batch.
The auto-generated workbook will contain the pre-filled details for the selected agreement contract type from the selected saved search as parent agreements.
Creating a Batch for Peer Associations[edit]
You can upload associated documents as peer associations to agreements using Legacy Upload.
- Follow the same process explained in the section "Creating a Batch for Associations" till "Association" field
- Select the "Association". For example, ICMAutomationSupplierMaster.
When you select the peer Associated Document Contract Type in the "Association" field, the "Association" field will reflect this relationship for the selected parent Contract Type and Associated Document Contract Type combination.
Note: When the Self-Linkage is enabled for the selected parent contract type, you can select the same contract type to link as peer association in the Association field.
- Click "Generate Workbook". The workbook is auto-generated with the pre-filled details of parent records for the selected contract type from the selected saved search in the “Parent Agreement Name | Agreement Code | SysId” format.
The workbook for peer associations also contains the Linkage Type column with the values as Parent, Child, and Peer. When there is the Linkage Type Masterdata configured in the ICI, the Linkage Type column will reflect the values from that masterdata.
Creating a Batch for Peer Associations with Create Wizard Flow.[edit]
You can create associated documents as peer associations to agreements using Legacy Upload.
- Follow the same process explained in the section above for creating a batch for Associations till the "Association" field.
- Select the "Association" contract type. For example, ICMMasterServicesAgreement.
When you select the peer Associated Document Contract Type in the Association field, the Association field will reflect this relationship for the selected parent Contract Type and Associated Document Contract Type combination.
Note: When the Self-Linkage is enabled for the selected parent contract type, you can select the same contract type to link as peer association in the Association field.
- Click "Generate Workbook". The workbook is auto-generated with the pre-filled details of parent records for the selected contract type from the selected saved search in the “Parent Agreement Name | Agreement Code | SysId” format, along with the Peer Association attributes as system would create Peer association like agreement creation and it would get linked to the Parent Agreement.
The workbook for peer associations also contains the Linkage Type column with the values as Parent, Child, and Peer. When there is the Linkage Type Masterdata configured in the ICI, the Linkage Type column will reflect the values from that masterdata.
Creating a batch for Masterdata[edit]
You can upload Masterdata with or without Approval Workflow using Legacy Upload.
To create a batch for masterdata:
- Navigate to the "Create Batch" page as explained in the above section "Creating a Batch for Agreement".

Creating a batch for Template[edit]
You can import bulk Templates into ICI with the help of Legacy Upload Tool. User upload relevant templates with capability of Attribute tagging in it. This helps in reducing the implementation duration and achieve faster efficiency. Along with the tool, an XML specification document is also released which can be used for creating tags in the input document files of templates.
To create Templates batch:
Follow the same steps as above with selecting "Template" in the "Legacy Upload Action".
Accessing Legacy Upload Page[edit]
The Legacy Upload page displays the details of uploaded batches in a table format. The batch details include Actions, Status, Error details, Batch Passed count, Failed count and so on. User can filter and search legacy upload batch with column filter capability.
You can view the status of the batch by clicking the Refresh button in the top right hand corner to refresh the status of the batch. If you encounter any error while processing the batch, it is highlighted in red color and displayed under the Failed Count column. After the batch is uploaded, click the batch Name to view the history of the processes performed on a particular batch.
To access the Legacy Upload page:
Follow the steps explained in "Creating a Batch Agreement" above.
The "Legacy Upload" page opens.
The page displays the complete statistics for all created and uploaded batches. The page also displays the options to "Create Batch" and "Upload Batch".
Some of the columns on the Legacy Upload page are explained below:
Preparing the workbook with legacy records data[edit]
Once the workbook is generated through the Create Batch process, you need to fill the legacy records data in the respective worksheets to prepare the workbook for uploading the batch.
Accessing the Workbook[edit]
- Click the arrow beside the file in the Download bar to display available actions.
- Click "Open". The pre-configured workbook for the selected contract type opens.
Alternatively, you can browse and open the downloaded Workbook from the pre-set download location on your system.
- Click "Enable Editing" to allow entering of data in the workbook.
- Enter the legacy data in the appropriate worksheets.
- Save and close the workbook.
Specifications of a workbook[edit]
- The Workbook is generated based on the selected contract type.
- The name of the workbook is constructed as the ICI name of the selected Contract Type Name amended with the date timestamp.
- The mapping sheet is configured automatically and is part of the workbook.
- The metadata of the workbook is also auto populated in the Information sheet to avoid any manual efforts.
- The column order in workbook sheet is maintained same as the sequence of attributes on the UI to maintain the consistency.
- Mandatory fields are highlighted in red.
- The lookup fields are provided that display the values from reference entities to avoid wrong data entry errors.
- All related worksheets for an entity, such as Team members, Notes, and Commitments, are available in a single workbook.
- The attributes necessary for processing are provided as lookup attributes to avoid errors due to manually entering values.
- The peer association worksheet also contains the Linkage Type column with the values as Parent, Child and Peer. When there is the Linkage Type Masterdata configured in the ICI, the Linkage Type column will reflect the values from that masterdata.
Preparing the Mapping Sheet[edit]
The mapping sheet is a part of the generated workbook. You need to provide below mentioned details required to process the Legacy Upload batch.
Apart from these Batch processing details, you also need to provide the entity details.
Note: Ensure that you enter attribute’s ICI name, spelled exactly as they are present in ICI, in the Mapping sheet and do not mention attribute’s display name. The ICI names are case-sensitive.
The snapshot of the sample mapping sheet for Agreement is:
Preparing the data sheet for ICI entities[edit]
The data sheet in the auto generated workbook contains the entity and contract type specific details. Also, the data sheet is named after the selected entity contract type. For example, the data sheet for the Masterdata- ICIStateMaster, is named as same as contract type name which is ICIStateMaster.
Note: The data sheet reflects the attributes as they are present on the UI for creating the respective entity.
Preparing the data sheet for Agreement, Amendment, Associated Documents and Masterdata[edit]
The data sheet for Entities- Agreement, Amendment, Associated Documents and Masterdata, contains the attributes you selected from the contract type when creating the batch. These attributes will appear in the data sheet in the order of their selection.
The data sheet for these entities also contain the necessary backend attributes required for processing which may or may not be visible on the UI such as Business Status, Org Unit, Type Of Paper and File Name. The Type Of Paper attribute has the default value as Third Party. The data sheet for Amendment has additional attributes Is Amendment and Use Amendment Template.
The contract type data sheet for Amendment and Peer Association contains prefilled details for the parent agreements of selected contract type from the selected saved search. The details will comprise of pipe delimited values of Parent Agreement Name, Agreement Code and Sysid within a single column, which would help system to easily find parent records in the ICI.
The snapshot of the sample auto generated data sheet for Amendment is:
You can add the legacy records details in the respective columns to prepare the data sheet.
Linkage type support for peer associations[edit]
The data sheet for uploading peer associations also contains the Linkage Type column with the values as Parent, Child and Peer. When there is the Linkage Type Masterdata configured in the ICI, the Linkage Type column will reflect the values from that masterdata.
After the successful batch upload for peer associations, the appropriate linkage type relationship is automatically established for the legacy records based on their contract types.
- For self-linkage type, the associations will be linked as peer to the agreements of same contract type. For example, the SOW agreement instance will be linked to another instance of SOW with linkage type as peer.
- For two-way linkage type, the base agreement and association will be linked as parent and child respectively. For example, when user selects the linkage type as Child while uploading SOW legacy record, the linked MSA record will be automatically updated as parent based on the two-way linkage type configuration.
Adding Team members, Notes, and Commitments
You can also add Team members, Notes, and Commitments if applicable to the legacy record using the same workbook by adding the details in the respective sheets at the same time when uploading the legacy records.
The worksheets for adding the details for Team members, Notes, and Commitments are part of the workbook.
The snapshot of the auto generated Team Members worksheet is:
The snapshot of the auto generated Notes worksheet is:
The snapshot of the auto generated Commitments worksheet is:
Note: Uploading the team, notes or commitments must be done at the first time when uploading the Agreements. Updating these entities later after Agreements are uploaded is not supported.
Preparing the data sheet for User Provisioning, Clauses and Templates[edit]
The data sheet for entities User Provisioning, Clauses and Templates reflects all attributes from the selected entity contract type in the same display sequence as they appear on the UI for that entity.
In addition to contact type attributes, the data sheet for these entities also contains the user selected attributes from the respective extended entity masterdata at the time of batch creation.
Here is the snapshot of the auto generated User Information worksheet with the sample legacy record details that is ready for upload:
Here is the snapshot of the auto generated Clauses worksheet with the sample legacy record details that is ready for upload:
Here is the snapshot of the auto generated Templates worksheet with the sample legacy record details that is ready for upload:
Observations and assumptions for clauses batch[edit]
The following observations and assumptions need to be taken into consideration while bulk uploading clauses using the Legacy Upload tool:
- A Primary Clause and a Linked Primary Clause should not be a part of same batch. The Primary Clause must be created first and then it should be used as a Linked Primary Clause.
- A clause with Is Alternate Clause value marked as TRUE and the clause that it is the Alternate of should not be part of same batch.
- A clause with Is Dependent Clause value marked as TRUE and the clause which it Depends On should not be part of same batch.
- Tags must be on the same line in the template document. Tagging will not function if the tags are on separate lines. For example, if the closing tag is on the next line, tagging does not work.
- There should be no non-breaking spaces (ASCII value xA0) within XML tags. Ensure to replace them with regular spaces in XML tags. Using deactivated clause groups is allowed.
- Template Variables cannot be tagged in a clause. If tagged, the template variable will be treated as plain text and no exceptions are triggered.
- The user importing templates and clauses must have permissions on the respective tiles, otherwise they will not be able to view them in Icertis Experience for Word.
- Only creation of clause is supported. Bulk edits and updating edited clause text in templates where the clause is referred are currently not supported.
Observations and Assumptions for templates batch[edit]
The following observations and assumptions need to be taken into consideration while uploading templates using the Legacy Upload tool:
- If tagging fails for a part of the batch, only the Passed count gets updated while the Failed count is not updated. However, the failed count can be inferred.
- The entire XML should be on the same line. Tagging will not function if the tags are split on separate lines.
- There should be no non-breaking spaces (ASCII value is xA0) within XML tags. Ensure to replace them with regular spaces in XML tags.
- Primary and alternate templates cannot be a part of same batch.
- Threading causes some issues. Further, if there has been any error in tagging, it is not possible to rollback or delete instances created using batch upload.
- Ensure each template is given a unique name. If two templates are uploaded with the same name, then one of the entries fails. However, the Error file does not show any corresponding error message.
Mandatory tags for clause document[edit]
The mandatory attributes tags are available in the Xml format for tagging inside clauses and templates.
Below table provides the details for xml tags:
To further understand tag properties, refer the below table:
Uploading the batch[edit]
- Click "Upload Batch" on the "Legacy Upload" page on the far right in the title bar. The "Upload Batch" drawer opens.

Uploading Agreements with mandatory Associations[edit]
- In the case of mandatory associations for agreements, you can first upload the agreements batch with the deferred workflow by selecting the checkbox for "Defer Workflow" on the "Upload Batch" drawer. After the successful processing of the agreements batch, the "Status" of the batch will move to "Completed", "WFDeferred", indicating that the agreement will not follow the workflow automatically.
- Once the Agreements are successfully uploaded in the ICI with the deferred workflow, upload the mandatory Associations following the steps:
- i. Search or create the contract type for Associations you want to upload. ii. Create a Batch for Associations as explained in the same section above. iii. Prepare the workbook by entering the legacy records data. iv. Upload the batch with the attached Workflow.
- Once the mandatory associations are successfully uploaded in the ICI, you can click on the "Resume WF" available under the three dots (...) in the last sticky column in the right for the batch which is in "Completed", "WF Deferred" status.
After the successful processing, the agreements batch status moves to "Workflow Processed" with the attached workflow.
Uploading Peer association with the create Wizard flow along with Linkage Type.
- In case of Peer associations for with create wizard flow, you can first upload the association batch with all the details input in the workbook on the Upload Batch window. System would process the Association by creating the instance on the ICI Application, the status of the batch would show as "Workflow Processed".
- Once the Peer Association are successfully uploaded in the ICI the system would automatically process with linking with its Parent agreement with linkage type defined in the workbook. Once the batch is processed the status of the batch would show as "Completed".
Uploading clauses and template batch[edit]
To upload the batch for clauses and templates, follow the same process as for uploading batch for other entities.
The ICI will auto initiate the tagging of attributes in clauses and templates upon the batch creation to avoid manual efforts.
Status changes for the processed batch[edit]
The entities which support uploading with or without attached approval workflow, are processed based on their approval workflow configuration by following the deferred workflow steps. The status of the batch processing for such entities goes from Completed, WF Differed to Workflow processed.
For entities that do not need approval workflow, the batch status will move to "Completed" on successful processing.
Viewing the batch Activity Log[edit]
