16. Click the Save Search icon to save the revised Saved Searches.
17. Click Assemble Contract on the Agreement Details page to assemble the associated document as per the revised Saved Searches.
18. Click "Preview Document" next to the agreement that you want to view.
Understanding Multi-Party Agreements
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 following main areas:
- Ability to use Association Attributes in Rules
- Ability to tag Association Attributes in Agreement and Clause Templates
- Ability to use faceted search for Association Attributes from the main Search page
- Ability to compare Association tagged as a table across versions
One of the primary functional drivers for these new capabilities is to enable full functionality for Multi-party Agreements.
Making the Association type itself available while selecting Attributes
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.
Introducing a Content Control tag for Association Metadata
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:
Editing a content control tag
1.To tag the association’s metadata to the clause, edit the control tag as follows:
ICMAssociation|AssociationSavedSearchName{0}.ICMClientContactPerson
where,
- The selected Contact Person from the Contract Party association’s sequence is 1.
- The index is a zero based index. 0 means 1st instance, 1 means 2nd instance, and so on.
The sample content control will look as follows:
Click here to enter text.
Adding a content control tag
1. Check if the Developer ribbon is available in the Word menu. To enable it, go to:
File -> Options -> Customize Ribbon -> Enable Developer
2. Select Plain Text Content Control -> Properties and add the attribute’s display name in the Title.
3. Add ICMAssociation|AssociationSavedSearchName{index}.{Attribute’s Technical Name}
where,
- ICMAssociation: This is static and does not change.
- AssociationSavedSeachName: As explained above.
- Index: This is a zero based index. 0 means 1st instance, 1 means 2nd instance, and so on.
- Attribute’s Technical Name: The technical name of the attribute of Association, such as, ICMCountryName, ICMPartyName, and so on.
Comparing Association tagged as a table across Agreement versions
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.
To edit an existing Agreement where a table is tagged as an Association:
1. Click the "Agreements" tile on the "Home" page. The "Agreements" page opens.
2. Click the View Record icon next to the Agreement in which you want to edit the Associated Document table. The Agreement Details page opens. For example, Main Sales Order 2.
3. Click Download to download the Agreement. The Agreement gets downloaded in Microsoft Word document (.Docx) format.
4. Edit the Associated Document table. For example, let’s remove existing numbers 83, 67, and 75 from the cells of the Display Label column of Line Item: Table1.
5. Click Save.
6. Click Upload Document in ICI. The Upload Document window opens.
7. Click Select File to select the revised Template.

Localization support for attribute values in tagged associations
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:
- For agreements with associations tagged as table or saved search as table, the attribute values will be displayed in local languages automatically when the document is assembled.
- For existing agreements, the attribute values will be localized when the document assembly is carried out explicitly.
- For executed or terminated agreements, the localization is not supported 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 the Localization support across ICI for more details on the business scenarios.
Approving an Associated Document
When the Associated Document is created, the approval rule triggers, and the document is sent to the approvers that are set by the approver rule. If you are an approver, you can approve or reject the associated document.
To approve an Associated Document:
1. Click the Tasks tile on the Home page. The User Tasks page opens.
2. Click the Association name link that you want to approve. The Associated Document Details page opens.
3. To Approve the document, click Approve. To reject the document, click Reject. A notification is sent to the Primary and Secondary Owner of the document every time an approver approves or rejects a document.
4. If you click:
- Approve: The Add Note window opens. Type your comments and then click Add. The associated document gets approved.
- Reject: The Add Note window opens. Type your comments, select the appropriate reason code, and then click Add. The Associated Document gets rejected and goes into the Draft state.
You can enable, disable, reassign, or remove approvers using the respective buttons from the Team tab of the Association after it is created. This can be done for the Associations that are in Approved or Waiting for Approval states.
If you are an approver of the Associations for Agreements and Amendments, you can request more information for an Association that is in Waiting for Approval state using the Need More Info button. You can also remove yourself as an Approver using the Remove Mebutton for an Association that is Waiting for Approval.

- Check-in time supported by Microsoft:
- DOCX: 30 seconds
- PPT: 60 seconds
- XLSX: 120 seconds
Extending inline association support for contract request and introducing file drop functionality in inline association
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 “ Request” >"Create" on the "Requests" 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.
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.
If the “Allow Multiple Association” flag is set to “No” for an association, then the file drop will be hidden and the Add button will be disabled as soon as one association gets created.
This option is available only for the Associated Documents which are created using the specific Associated Document Contract Type that has the “Show File Drop Zone” field set as Yes.
7. Click Add. The Create Association popup is displayed.
8. Enter the association details.
9. Click Create. The association gets created. Alternatively, click Save and Create New to save the association and to reset the create wizard to default values in the popup window, to create another association.
10. Click the three-dots icon in the "Actions" column to perform Edit, View Record, Disassociate, View Document and View Smart Links actions on the association.
11. Once the required associations are created, click Next to continue with the Contract Request creation wizard. The remaining workflow continues as before.
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.
