Basic Setup
Welcome to ICI! You may be a new user or a contract administrator wanting to explore ICI. You are in the right place!
Log on to ICI
You must have account on ICI to use it. You should receive an account activation email with your account details once your ICI Administrator creates it. This email contains:
- Your username and temporary password
- A link to the ICI application
To log on to ICI:
1. Click the URL provided in your account activation email. At the Login page, type the user name and password you received in the email.
2. Click Log in. The Dashboard page opens.
Setting your preferences
You can personalize the ICI user interface as per your preferences for 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 the supported UI elements.
The UI elements will be displayed in English if there are no local values available in preferred language for that specific element in the ICI system.
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 Preferences. The My Preferences window opens.
2. Select the number of records that you want displayed per page (10, 50 or 100). You can also select the default choice on the grid, Records Layout (Grid View, Tile view or Extended view) and toggle the search panel visibility option (Yes/No). Toggle the Open every record in same browser tab (Yes/No)
Note:
- If the Currency attribute for the contract type does not contain the value selected in currency preference, then currency preference will not be auto-populated.
- For Template Variables, the value of the currency attribute (if present), is selected at the template level and then populated in the agreement; the currency preference will not be auto-populated.
- For Inheritance, Copy Agreement, Amendment creation, the currency selected in the parent entity will be selected by default; the currency preference will not be auto-populated.
- When creating an amendment without a parent agreement (orphan amendment), the currency preference will be auto-populated.
Out-of-office Tasks Setup - Auto Delegation
The Auto-Delegation functionality for your tasks allows you to delegate these tasks to another user for a desired period.
To delegate your tasks to another user for a desired period:

Timeouts in ICI
There are two types of timeouts in ICI:
• Inactivity Session Timeout: if an ICI session is idle with no action (remains inactive) for a preset duration, a countdown timer appears with a message indicating that the current session will time out in X minutes. The 'X' is set in the backend and cannot be configured from the user interface. Click OK to continue the session.
• Command Timeout: When searching, if your query takes up more than the preset time, it gets aborted. An error message indicates that there was a timeout. Click OK to close the message. This may happen due to a database issue or a slow server response. Try your query again.
