Agreement Details Page

You can see the current Status and all the information related to the Agreement in various sections on the left navigation. You can also perform various actions depending upon your role and the state of the Agreement.

Here are the details you can see when you click on different sections in the left pane:

Agreement: this section shows the basic information of the Agreement. It has the following sections:

• Summary: displays the Agreement Name, the Status and the name of the Agreement creator. It also displays the Template Name and the Template Version used to create the Agreement.
• Details: show the attributes of the Agreement along with the rich text area. Only the Primary Owner can edit the values of these attributes. Note, if Primary Owner is replaced within the Team, the Primary Owner Name and Primary Owner Email fields will get updated with the current information.
• Preview: shows what the Agreement will look like if printed. If the Agreement is in Draft state, the preview only shows the attributes defined in the Agreement. If it is in Approved state, the preview also shows the actual values of the attributes. You can control the size of the document preview by resizing the browser window or print the document or export the agreement attributes to the desired format.
• Versions shows the various versions created for the specific Agreement.
• History shows the entire life cycle of the agreement till now.

Note: The Summary and Details section can both contain attributes with rich text area. Click the View icon to see the details of the attribute. 

Association: Click Add  icon to add Associated Documents to the Agreement. You can also add Associated Documents instances with a simple drag-and-drop action. For this, click the specific Associated Document under the Associations tab. This displays the drop zone if it is configured to be displayed. Drag-and-drop multiple files into the drop area provided. The name of the resulting Associations will display the file name.

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, and
• that does not contain any mandatory fields other than Name.

Associated Documents created using this Contract Type will have this feature enabled.

Deviations: allow you to add any changes to the Clauses. This may require the Agreement to be sent to the Deviation Approver for review and approvals. 

You can add deviation approvers directly from the Deviations section by clicking the Deviation Approver icon. This eliminates the need to navigate to the Team tab to add the Deviation Approvers. 

Addition of action buttons on the Deviations tab

The ApproveAll, RejectAll and ClearAll buttons have been added on the Deviations tab of the agreement Details page to approve, reject or clear the selected deviations respectively.

This makes it easier for the user to take actions on multiple deviations of the agreement in one go, considerably reducing the effort of approving, rejecting or clearing each one individually.

 

Deviated Clauses

To view or add deviations for clauses:

1. Click the view record icon on the Agreement Management page. The Details page opens.

2. Click the Deviations tab.

3. Click the plus icon next to Add Deviation to manually add deviations to the agreement’s clauses. The Add Deviation window opens.

Note: To automatically add deviations, you have to download the agreement, modify the clauses and upload the agreement in ICM. To deviate a clause, the Deviation Analysis attribute should be set to Yes when creating the clause from the Create Clause page of Clause Management.

• Click the search icon to select and add the deviated clause.
• Enter the text for the deviated clause.
• Enter your comments for the deviated clause.
• Click Save.

Note:

• Only deviations that are added manually can be removed. If deviations have been added by downloading the agreement and then uploading the agreement back to ICM, those deviations cannot be removed.
• Deviation approvers can also be added by defining rules from the Rules page.
• The Primary owner can send the reviewed agreement to the Deviation Approver. As a Deviation Approver, you can approve or reject clauses inside the agreement if a Deviation Approver role is assigned to you.

6. Clicking the Send for Approval button in Step 5 enables the Approve, Reject, Approve All, Reject All and Save Changes buttons. The Clear All button will be enabled when an action is taken on any deviated clause. Only the Deviation Approver can view these buttons.

• Approve: Click to approve each individual clause.
• Reject: Click to reject each individual clause.

Clicking the Approve and Reject buttons opens the Deviation Details window, displaying the details of the clause. You can also put in your comments in the Comments box. You do not have to click Save Changes to save your comments; they will be saved automatically.

• To approve or reject deviations in one go, click the Approve All or Reject All button.

In the above example, as we have already selected one clause for approval and one clause for rejection, clicking Approve All or Reject All will select the remaining 2 clauses (i.e. clauses that are not already selected). You can also add a common comment for the clauses. Comments will not be saved until you click the Save Changes button.

Note: When you have taken actions for all the deviations, the Approve All and Reject All buttons will be disabled.

• Clear All: Clears all selections.

Assigning Executed Agreements: ICMs additional workflow state allows you to assign the executed Agreements to other parties with updated metadata, in order to fulfil obligations and responsibilities, depending on the business requirements. The assignment Agreement goes through the workflow of approval and execution processes, and then supersedes the parent Agreement attributes as configured. Thus, the parent Agreement gets assigned to the new parties on the assignment date.

Terminating Executed Agreements: ICMs additional workflow state allows you to terminate executed Agreements.This is useful in business scenarios where an executed Agreement can be terminated only after executing a termination Agreement for it. The termination Agreement goes through the workflow of approval and execution processes, and then supersedes the parent Agreement attributes including the termination date as per the configuration. Thus, the parent agreement gets terminated on that termination date.
