Agreements[edit]


= Agreements =

This page displays all the Agreements that you are associated with in one way or the other. You&nbsp;may have created an Agreement or you may be a member&nbsp;of the team that is working on the Agreement.&nbsp;This page displays the most current version of an Agreement regardless of its status.

From this page you can:

*'''Search'''&nbsp;Agreements in several ways. You can Search Agreements using the ''Search ''tile or use the Advanced Search&nbsp;page. 
*'''View''' pinned saved searched by Administrator.&nbsp;If you are logging on to ICM for the first time, you will see saved searches pinned to your Agreement page. These pinned searches are applicable to the ''User Group'' you belong to and will remain unchanged, unless you modify them. The saved searches are created by the Administrator for the ''User Groups ''and pinned to the ''Agreements'' page by the application. A maximum of six searches can be pinned. Once you modify any of your pinned searches, your preferences override the Administrator’s preferences. 
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:Agreement index page 7.8 gr action.png|720px|Agreement index page 7.8 gr actions.png]]</div> 
*'''View'''&nbsp;details of an Agreement by '''clicking '''the ''View Record&nbsp;''icon. The details are displayed on the Agreement Details Page. 

*'''View '''the document to see what the printed Agreement would look like&nbsp;by '''clicking '''the&nbsp;''View Document''&nbsp;icon. Thus, you can quickly find the required Agreement record without opening each Agreement record to view the document.&nbsp;If the Agreement is in ''Draft'' state, the preview only displays the attributes defined in the Agreement. If it is in an ''Approved'' state, then it also displays the actual values of those attributes. You can print the document or export the Agreement attributes to the desired format.&nbsp; 
<div class="note-box">'''Note: '''This feature is the same as the Preview option from the Agreement Details Page.</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> 
*'''View''' Smart Links&nbsp;to link related documents to one another by '''clicking''' the ''View Smart Links&nbsp;''icon&nbsp;drop-down. For example, if there are several Agreements with the same vendor, you can link&nbsp;all&nbsp;of them through smart links&nbsp;to see the types of Agreements that are currently in force with that vendor. See the&nbsp;Creating Smart Links&nbsp;page for details. 
*'''Perform''' ''Bulk Actions'' on Agreements. 
*'''Configure''' '''default columns and their sequence '''on the Search and Index pages throughout ICM for all the users. The configuration can be done for each Entity as well as Contract Type thus offering complete flexibility to define columns as per your business needs. 
*'''Configure multiple mandatory and non-mandatory filters''' at Contract Type level for inheritance by which agreements can be filtered. This is achieved through a technical configuration at the contract type level. 


== Creating an&nbsp;Agreement ==

You navigate to this page from the ''Home ''page by&nbsp;'''clicking'''&nbsp;the&nbsp;''Agreement Management > Create Agreement''&nbsp;tiles.
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Agreement Management tile.png|720px]]</div> 
On this page, you can do the following tasks:

*Specify basic details of the Agreement 
*Select Attributes&nbsp; 
*Select a Template to use for creating the Agreement 
*Publish the Agreement 
*Send the Agreement for approval&nbsp; 

You can create Agreements in ICM in the following ways:

*Copy an Existing Agreement and make changes to the copy. 
*Create an Agreement from a Contract Request. 
*Create a new Agreement by using the&nbsp;''Create Agreement''&nbsp;tile. This help page describes this process. 

The following&nbsp;figure shows the different states of an agreement with various roles that are involved in creating it.
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:Workflow-Agreement.png|720px|Agreement Workflow]]</div> 
Figure: Agreement workflow and various roles involved at different states of the Agreement.&nbsp;

To create a new Agreement, complete the details for the sections mentioned below:

#Contract Type Details 
#Attributes 
#Select Template 
#Verify 

'''Click'''&nbsp;''Next''&nbsp;at the end of each section to go to the next section and complete creating the Agreement. You can also&nbsp;''Save''&nbsp;a section at any time and return to this page to complete your Agreement.
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.11 Contract type description.png|720px|7.11 Contract type description.png]]</div> 
=== Contract Type Details ===

Enter the following basic details of the Agreement in this section:

*Category: categories are created by the administrator and they are similar to labels; useful for organizing your agreements. The drop-down shows all the categories that were chosen while creating the Contract Type. Select one. 
*Contract Type Name: shows a list of all the contract types that were created for the chosen category. The&nbsp;''Type of Paper''&nbsp;option is displayed&nbsp;depending on the contract type definition. 
*Contract Type Description: This&nbsp;field facilitates users to select the desired Contract Type.&nbsp; 
*Type of Paper: indicates if your own or a third party template should be used for creating this agreement. Provide your template if you select&nbsp;''Own''. Select&nbsp;''Third Party''&nbsp;option when you want to create&nbsp;the agreement by uploading a template agreement provided by the vendor or the provider. Few points to remember when selecting third party paper: 
**should be used mainly when dealing with legacy contracts 
**in case of a deviation, the deviation approval becomes a manual process in ICM, 
**are uploaded as a PDF, making it difficult to analyze them. As a result, attributes may have to be manually created in ICM (which can be time-consuming) or ICM may have to be used with limited functionality.   
<div class="note-box">'''Note:'''&nbsp;Of the 4 sections, the Templates section depends&nbsp;on the selected&nbsp;type of paper (Own or Third Party).<br/> <br/> If the Type of Paper is&nbsp;''Own'', the&nbsp;''Select Template''&nbsp;page with a list of templates&nbsp; is displayed&nbsp;for the selected Contract Type.&nbsp;If the&nbsp;''Type Of Paper''&nbsp;selected is&nbsp;''Third Party'', the&nbsp;''Select Template''&nbsp;section is not shown. Instead, you would manually upload a third party agreement. You cannot use&nbsp;''Own&nbsp;paper with this option.''</div> 
&nbsp;

=== Attributes ===

This section captures important details of the agreement that you are creating. Note that the attributes shown on this page will vary depending on the Contract Type that you selected. Below is an explanation of some of the less obvious attributes.

*Associate and Inherit:&nbsp;'''Click'''&nbsp;&nbsp;the&nbsp;&nbsp;icon to associate that agreement and inherit all its attributes to the agreement that you are creating. This field is displayed only for those contract types that have an association with any other contract type. 
*Organization Unit:&nbsp;'''Select'''&nbsp;the organization unit you would like to create this agreement in. Users within an organization unit must also have certain privileges. With a Vi'ew&nbsp;privilege, users can only view agreements but users with&nbsp;Manage&nbsp;privilege can perform actions on the agreement. For example, if John and Mary share one organization unit, then for John to have access to Mary's agreements, John needs&nbsp;view&nbsp;privilege on her agreements. View privilege is also required for users to search a particular agreement. 
*Name:&nbsp;'''Type'''&nbsp;a name for the Agreement you are creating. To make it easier for users in the organization to find your Agreement, the name should include some basic information about the Agreement. Basic information could include details&nbsp;such as the purpose of the Agreement&nbsp;and with which vendor this Agreement was entered in to.&nbsp; 
*Contract Value:&nbsp;'''Type'''&nbsp;the value of the contract or set it using the controls provided. Selecting a currency is mandatory. 
*Agreement Code: Each agreement is assigned a unique agreement ID in ICM, known as its Agreement code. The system automatically generates the Agreement ID when you&nbsp;'''click'''&nbsp;the&nbsp;''Create''&nbsp;button in the&nbsp;'''''4. '''Verify''&nbsp;section. 
*Signature Type:&nbsp;'''Select'''&nbsp;if this agreement will be signed manually or electronically. Note that the signatures of both parties must be of the same type, meaning, ICM does not allow one party to sign electronically and the other party to sign &nbsp;manually. If the external signatory prefers to sign manually, the agreement must get manually signed internally too.&nbsp;Select Click to Sign signature option so that the user can see an online preview of the agreement, which can be used to mark the agreement as signed and executed. 
*Is Amendment:&nbsp;'''Specify'''&nbsp;if this Agreement is being created as an amendment for an existing agreement. 
*Multi-Party:&nbsp;'''Specify'''&nbsp;if this Agreement involves multiple parties. For example, if the organization this agreement is being created for uses a sub-contractor, then this agreement would be marked as multi-party, as the sub-contractor details would also have to be captured. 
*Previous Agreement ID: If this agreement &nbsp;is an amendment or a renewal of an existing agreement, use this field to add a smart link to the existing agreement.&nbsp; 
*External Signatory: '''C''''''lick'''&nbsp;the&nbsp;''Add User''&nbsp;icon. The&nbsp;''Select User''&nbsp;window opens. If the External user is already provisioned you can select that user from the list, or&nbsp;'''click'''&nbsp;the&nbsp;''Add External User''&nbsp;button. The&nbsp;''Create External User&nbsp;''window opens.'''&nbsp;Enter'''&nbsp;all the mandatory fields such as, Name, Email Address and Language. It’s important to select the appropriate language for the user since the user will receive all the ICM notifications in the selected language.&nbsp;'''Click&nbsp;'''''Save'', the user gets added as an External Signatory. 
<div class="note-box">'''Note''': The email IDs of all users are displayed on hovering the mouse over the selected user across the application. If there are two signatories with the same name, it makes it easier to identify the users&nbsp;by their email ID.&nbsp;</div> 
*File Path:&nbsp;'''specify&nbsp;'''the path from where you want to upload the third party template.&nbsp;&nbsp;This field is displayed only when you select&nbsp;''Third Party''&nbsp;paper on&nbsp;''1. Contract Type Details''&nbsp;section.&nbsp; 
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:Email id image.png|720px|RTENOTITLE]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <div class="image-green-border">'''File scanning during upload:'''</div> <div class="image-green-border">ICM has added a generic virus scan framework which can be used to implement other virus scanning software.&nbsp;<br/> When configured, this will help to scan files for any malware and protect ICM against a wide variety of threats whenever a user uploads a file using the ''File Upload'' attribute in ICM or a file is uploaded through an API.</div> <div class="image-green-border">The scanning starts on the same page as soon as the user selects a file&nbsp;to upload.</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Virus scan 1.png|720px|7.12 Virus scan 1.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <div class="image-green-border">Upon clicking next action, the scanning status window is displayed only if the scanning is still in progress or malicious content has been found, otherwise the next page in a workflow opens.</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Virus scan 2.png|720px|7.12 Virus scan 2.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <div class="image-green-border">The scanning progress bar is displayed in red color when the file has malicious contents.</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <div class="image-green-border">Upon clicking ''OK'':</div> 
*The next page in the workflow opens if the files are safe. 
*The current page is displayed again if any file has malicious contents. 

Note:

*Any ICM entity (such as agreement, associations, template, clause, masterdata and so on) that takes file as an input in any mode, the virus scan is performed by default for that entity before uploading file into the ICM. 
*Files can be scanned in bulk. 
*File scanning while uploading through Word and Excel plugins is handled through API. 
<div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> 
=== Template ===

This section displays the Templates that you created for the selected Contract Type. This section is displayed only if you select&nbsp;''Own''&nbsp;paper to create the agreement on the Contract Type Details section. Select the appropriate Template.&nbsp;''Template Selection''&nbsp;page displays all the applicable templates in a&nbsp;''Grid&nbsp;''view by default.&nbsp;Clicking on the row having the desired template selects the template. Clicking again on the same row deselects it. You can switch between the&nbsp;''Grid''&nbsp;and&nbsp;''Tile''&nbsp;views as desired and if any selections exist, these are retained between any view switches.&nbsp;

The Templates listed in the&nbsp;''Grid''&nbsp;view includes columns based on template metadata such as, template name, template status, etc. or extended template metadata if configured in your instance. Through a technical configuration, you can specify which columns should display on the grid.
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:Template create an agreement grid1.PNG|720px|RTENOTITLE]]</div> 
You can preview the Template on the&nbsp;''Template&nbsp;Selection''&nbsp;page itself prior to selection when creating or editing Agreements.
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:Template create an agreement tile1.PNG|720px|RTENOTITLE]]<br/> &nbsp;<br/> •&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;The template preview displays the directly added Clauses and Attribute/Association placeholders, but does not display any rule based clauses that have been added to the Template.&nbsp;<br/> •&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;For a new Template that is currently being used, the latest approved version is displayed in the preview.&nbsp;<br/> •&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;When editing an Agreement and the template has been previously selected, ICM displays the content from the version of the template that was used at the time of original selection. For example, a user is trying to edit an agreement for which v2 of the MSA template had been used. The current version of the approved MSA template is v5. Now when the user is editing the agreement and chooses to preview the selection of the MSA template, the product shall display the contents as of v2 of the MSA template. There shall be no difference between the contents of the template displayed in the preview and the agreement document that gets generated except for addition of any rule based clauses and associations.&nbsp;<br/> Refer to Template Management for complete details on creating, editing, uploading and working with Templates.</div> 
=== Verify ===

This is the final section for creating an agreement. It displays only the sections and attributes that you used to create this agreement. Verify all the details you have entered.You can:

*'''Click'''&nbsp;''Previous''&nbsp;to go back and make any changes.&nbsp;'''Click'''&nbsp;''Next''&nbsp;to return to this section after making the required changes. 
*'''Click'''&nbsp;''Create''&nbsp;to create the Agreement. The Agreement is not visible to anyone yet (as it is not published) and you can continue creating or editing it on the Agreement Details Page. 
*'''Click'''&nbsp;''Create and Publish''&nbsp;to create and publish the Agreement. After the Agreement is published, other users with adequate access can search, view, and take actions on the agreement. After publishing, a&nbsp;''Draft''&nbsp;watermark appears on the Agreement in all states until it is approved. The watermark gets removed after the agreement is approved. 
*'''Click'''&nbsp;''Create and Send for approval''&nbsp;to create and send the Agreement for approval. The Agreement gets sent to approvers that are set by a rule on the Contract Type selected for this Agreement. The state changes to Pending Approval. If no rules are set and no approvers are defined, the Agreement status automatically changes to Approved. 
*'''Click&nbsp;'''''Cancel&nbsp;''to cancel the Agreement. With this action, the status of the Agreement changes to&nbsp;''Cancelled&nbsp;''and the Agreement continues to be visible on the&nbsp;Agreement Management''&nbsp;''page in the list of Agreements.&nbsp; 
*'''Click&nbsp;'''''Revert&nbsp;''to revert the cancelled Agreement. This changes the status of the Agreement to&nbsp;''Draft&nbsp;''again.&nbsp; 

&nbsp;

== Ability to Create&nbsp;multiple agreements from a single agreement&nbsp; ==

You can create multiple agreements from a single agreement with the provision of copying associations and attributes as required.&nbsp;<br/> <br/> Users now:

*Have complete flexibility at configuration level to define the applicable contract type, decision attribute, compute attribute for bulk agreement creation&nbsp; 
*Have the option of bulk agreement creation in the model agreement based on the above configuration with provision to define unique batch Id for all the agreements created using a single model agreement 
*Can access model agreements only through technically configured Admin saved search. 

Bulk created agreements are created in ''Draft ''status by default. However, users can send agreements for approval as part of the bulk creation process by configuring an attribute added in the bulk configuration masterdata contract type. The bulk agreements will then be created in ''Approved ''or ''Waiting for Approval ''status.

'''Note: '''''Amendments ''can also be sent for approval using the same functionality.

&nbsp;

=== Configuring Bulk Agreement&nbsp; ===

Users are required to use the instance of seeded masterdata contract type to enable bulk agreement creation. The seeded masterdata attributes and their description are explained here briefly. For information about how to configure a masterdata contract type for bulk creation, see the ''Configuration Guide for Bulk Agreement''.<br/> [[File:7.12 bulk agreement table.png|720px|7.12 bulk agreement table.png]]

The seeded masterdata attributes in ICM:

The ''Attributes ''tab opens.<br/> 6. '''Select''' ''Yes ''from ''Enable Bulk Agreement Creation'' drop-down list.&nbsp;<br/> &nbsp;</div> <div class="note-box">'''Note''': &nbsp;The ''Enable Bulk Agreement Creation'' determines that the created agreement is a model agreement for the bulk creation.</div> <div class="image-green-border"><br/> 7. '''Select''' parties from the Other Parties drop-down list. For example, ''Other Party 01'', ''Other Party 02'', & ''Other Party 03''.<br/> &nbsp;</div> <div class="note-box">'''Note''': The Other Parties drop-down field is basically a multiselect attribute having a technical name ''BulkCreateSourceAttribute'' from the Masterdata Contract type which will be used as a spawning attribute (for model agreement) and the ''Other Parties'' drop-down options are ''IndividualSourceAttribute''. When bulk agreements are created, each value of ''Other Parties'' drop-down field will be spawned by &nbsp;''IndividualSourceAttribute''.</div> 
8. '''Enter '''''All Data'' in the ''Test Case Id'' field.

The Agreements created using Bulk action are in the Draft state and users are notified regarding the success and failure of agreements created.&nbsp;</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div>

== Ability to support Approver Sub-roles&nbsp; ==

Users have the ability to define sub-roles for the Approver role. This flexibility enables all the capabilities of the Approver for the users at the sub-role level.<br/> For example, you can now set different types of approvers for an agreement based on functions such as legal approver, finance approver, and so on. This can be achieved through a technical configuration.

<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.11 Approver sub-role 14.png|720px|7.11 Approver sub-role 14.png]]<br/> &nbsp;<br/> 9. '''Click '''''Save''. The ''Subscription Details'' page opens.&nbsp;<br/> <br/> The subscription with the user sub-role ''Finance Approver'' is created.</div> 
=== Limitations of Approver Sub-roles ===

This functionality has the following limitations:

*Sub-roles can be defined for the Approver role only. 
*The following sub-roles are supported in the workflow of User Group, Agreement, Amendment, Associated Document, Rule creation based on Approval Rule, Subscription, Notification, Auto-delegation, and Broadcast from the Agreement Details page.&nbsp; 
*When the sub-role for the Approver role is defined in addition to the existing Approver role, in that scenario all roles new and old are supported unless the user disables the existing Approver role. ICM behaves as is and data migration with respect to the new and old role is not supported.&nbsp; 

== Flexibility to control the Agreement actions based on the user role ==

The access control for ''Agreements'' and ''Amendments'' has been extended to control additional agreement level tasks and actions based on the user role.

Users can control:

#The agreement actions such as ''Compare Documents, Compare Clause Changes, Broadcast'' and so on 
#Creation and disassociation of associated documents from an agreement 
#Linking and disassociation of peer association from an agreement 
#The visibility of the individual reports available on the agreement details page is controlled through technical configuration 

=== Controlling the actions available on the agreement details page using the Role-Action Mapping ===

Consider an example where the agreement ''Automation AssoTwocolumn'' has the user added in the team as ''Approver''. The agreement action ''Broadcast ''has the user role ''Approver ''mapped for the agreement in ''Draft ''state. If you remove the role approver from this role-action mapping, he or she will no longer has the access to the ''Broadcast ''action on agreement page for ''Draft ''state.

'''Click '''on the ''Team ''tab in the left panel configuration on the agreement details page to view the users added in the team. For example, user ''William Fagan'' is added as ''Approver ''for the agreement ''Automation AssoTwocolumn.''
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 User Role Control 4.png|720px|7.12 User Role Control 4.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> 
The role-action mapping for the agreement ''Broadcast ''action for ''Draft ''state has user role ''Approver ''mapped.
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 User Role Control 5.png|720px|7.12 User Role Control 5.png]]</div> 
Now '''remove '''the user role ''Approver ''from the ''Broadcast ''action and ''Draft ''state.

To edit the role action mapping:&nbsp;

#'''Click '''''User Administration'' > ''User Groups'' > ''Role-Action Mapping ''on the ''Home ''page. The ''Role-Action Mapping'' page opens. 
#'''Select '''entity in the&nbsp;''Select Entity ''field. For example, agreement ''Automation AssoTwocolumn. ''The list of all ''Role-Action mappings'' applicable to the agreement opens. 
#'''Click '''''Edit ''icon next to the action for particular state you want to edit. For example, action ''Broadcast ''for state ''Draft''. The ''Edit ''window opens. 
#'''Add '''or '''remove '''the ''User Roles'' in the right section with the help of arrows. For example, remove user role ''Approver ''from right section. 
#'''Click '''''Save''. The role is removed from the ''Roles ''column for selected action and state. 
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 User Role Control 6.png|720px|7.12 User Role Control 6.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> 
The user with role ''Approver ''will then not be able to view the action ''Broadcast ''for the agreement in ''Draft ''state.
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 User Role Control 7.png|720px|7.12 User Role Control 7.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <div class="note-box">Note: User can set the role-action mapping for all states of the agreement and associated documents for all actions and user roles following the same process.</div> 
&nbsp;

=== Controlling the Associations actions on the Agreement page using the Role-Action Mapping ===

The access to the associated documents of the agreement can be controlled by role action mapping.

Only authorized users can:

*Add associations to the agreement from left panel configuration on the agreement details page 
*Dissociate the associated document from the agreement from grid page. 
<div class="note-box">Note: User will also need to have the access privileges to the ''Associated Document Contract Type'' via ''Security Groups'' in addition to ''Role-Action Mapping'' configuration.</div> 
&nbsp;

==== Create Associations instances from Agreement details page ====

To control access on the associations creation action from agreement details page through role-action mapping:

#'''Click '''''User Administration'' > ''User Groups'' > ''Role-Action Mapping'' on the ''Home ''page. The ''Role-Action Mapping ''page opens. 
#'''Select '''entity in the&nbsp;''Select Entity'' field. For example, ''Automation Annexure Assembly (Associated Document Contract Type)''. The list of all applicable role-action mappings opens. 
#'''Click '''''Edit ''icon next to the action for particular state that you want to edit. For example, ''Create Association From Parent''. The ''Edit ''window opens.

<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 User Role Control 9.png|720px|7.12 User Role Control 9.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> 
The ''Create Associations ''action for ''Automation Annexure Assembly ''on the left panel configuration will be disabled for all users other than ''Primary Owner.'' For example, the ''Create Association'' action is disabled for the user ''William Fagan ''with the user role as an ''Approver''.
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 User Role Control 10.png|720px|7.12 User Role Control 10.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> 
==== Controlling the access for Association instances from the Association grid ====

Only authorized users can edit, dissociate or copy associations from agreement-association grid page. These actions are controlled using role-action mappings defined for respective parent-child or peer-to-peer associated document contract type.&nbsp;

To control access on the association actions through role-action mapping:

#'''Click'''''<i>User Administration </i>>''User Groups''> ''Role-Action Mapping''on the ''Home ''page. The ''Role-Action Mapping''page opens.''

#'''Click '''''Edit ''icon next to the action for particular state that you want to edit. For example, ''Edit''. The ''Edit ''window opens. 
#'''Add '''or '''remove '''the ''User Roles'' in the right section with using arrows. For example, add ''Primary Owner,'' ''Secondary Owner'' and ''Document Owner.'' 
#'''Click '''''Save''. The role is added to the ''Roles ''column for selected action and state. For example, For ''Automation Annexure Assembly'', only ''Primary Owner, Secondary Owner'' and ''Document Owner ''can edit the ''Associations ''for ''Draft ''state. 
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 User Role Control 11.png|720px|7.12 User Role Control 11.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> 
When the user other than above roles tries to access the agreement, the ''Edit'', ''Dissociate ''and ''Copy ''actions will not be visible to him from the agreement-association grid page.&nbsp;<br/> For example, the ''Edit'', ''Dissociate ''and ''Copy ''action are not visible to the user ''William Fagan'' with the user role as an ''Approver''.

== Ability to have flexible contract type extension ==

ICM provides the flexibility to select and use masterdata attributes as extensions to agreements and associated documents at the time of instance creation. Users can create rules to add or remove these extended attributes to agreement and associated documents.&nbsp;ICM capabilities support the extension attributes in the same way as normal attributes.&nbsp;

Users can:

*Configure conditional attributes, tracking attributes, computations (enable expressions) to use as extended attributes 
*Save extension attributes selection as a template for reuse 
*Control access privileges for extended attributes based on the user role 
*Maintain audits for the extended attributes 

=== Defining access for extension attributes actions using Role Action Mapping ===

The authorized users can control the access privileges for the actions ''Configure Attributes ''and ''Re-evaluate Rule ''on the ''Extension Attributes'' page during agreement creation through ''Role-Action Mapping''.

#'''Click '''''User Administration'' > ''User Groups'' > ''Role-Action Mapping'' on the ''Home ''page. The ''Role-Action Mapping'' page opens. 
#'''Select '''entity in the ''Select Entity ''field. For example, ''Agreement''. The list of all role-action mappings applicable to the agreement opens. 
#'''Click '''''Edit ''icon next to the action for particular state you want to edit. For example, ''Configure Extension Attributes ''for state ''Approved''. The ''Edit ''window opens. 
#'''Add '''or '''remove '''the ''User Roles'' in the right column with the help of arrows. For example, add user role''Business Owner'' to the right column. 
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Extension Attributes 1.png|720px|7.12 Extension Attributes 1.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <ol start="5">
<li>'''Click '''''Save''. The role is mapped under the ''Roles ''column for selected action and state.</li>
</ol>
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Extension Attributes 2.5.png|720px|7.12 Extension Attributes 2.5.png]]</div> 
The users with role as ''Business Owner ''will now be able to access the action ''Configure Extension Attributes ''for the agreement entities in ''Approved ''state. For example, user ''Anushree ''added to the agreement’s team as ''Business Owner ''can access ''Configure Attributes'' action on ''Extension Attributes'' page for the agreement entities in ''Approved ''state.&nbsp;
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Extension Attributes 3.png|720px|7.12 Extension Attributes 3.png]]</div> 
&nbsp;

=== Defining access for extension attributes using Attribute Group Privileges ===

Authorized users can restrict the access to extension attributes for specific users using ''Attributes Group Privileges''.

To restrict the access:

#'''Click '''''User Administration ''> ''User Groups'' > ''Attribute Group Privileges ''> ''Add ''on the ''Home ''page. The ''Add ''window to configure and add the attribute group privileges opens. 
#'''Select '''''Copy from Contract Type''. For example, ''RFQ''. 
#'''Toggle '''''Show Extension attribute Group'' to ''Yes''. 
#'''Select '''''Attribute Group ''for which you want to restrict the access. For example,''Location Details.'' 
#'''Select '''''States ''for which you want restrict the access. For example, ''Approved''. 
#'''Select '''user ''Roles ''for whom you want restrict the access. For example, ''Business Owner.''<br/> &nbsp; 
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Extension Attributes 4.png|720px|7.12 Extension Attributes 4.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <ol start="7">
<li>'''Click '''''Save''. The ''Mapping added successfully ''message is displayed. The added mapping will be displayed in the table on attribute group privileges page under the selected entity.</li>
</ol>
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Extension Attributes 5.png|720px|7.12 Extension Attributes 5.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> 
The user with role''Business Owner ''will be restricted to access the selected attribute group in selected state. For example, user ''Anushree ''(added as ''Business Owner ''to the agreement’s team) will not be able to access ''Location Details ''attributes for the ''RFQ ''contract type in ''Approved ''state.
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Extension Attributes 6.png|720px|7.12 Extension Attributes 6.png]]</div> 
&nbsp;

=== Making the contract type available for extension attributes selection ===

Users can make the attributes of masterdata available for extension by setting ''Is available to be used as Extension'' field to ''Yes''. Masterdata contract types which have this field value set to ''Yes ''will only be available for extension on the ''Configure Attributes'' window during agreement creation.&nbsp;
<div class="note-box">Note: &nbsp;By default, the ''Is available to be used as Extension'' field is set to ''No ''for all masterdata contract types. &nbsp;Ensure to set this field to ''Yes ''to make the attributes of the desired masterdata contract type available for extension.</div> 
To edit the masterdata:

#'''Click '''''Configuration ''> ''Contract Types ''on the ''Home ''page. The ''Contract Type'' index page opens. 
#'''Click '''''View Record'' icon next to the masterdata contract type you want to edit. For example, ''Food Master. ''The contract type ''Details ''page opens.&nbsp; 
#'''Click '''''Edit''. The ''Edit Contract Type ''page opens. 
#'''Toggle '''the ''Is available to be used as Extension ''field to ''Yes''. 
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Extension Attributes 7.png|720px|7.12 Extension Attributes 7.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <ol start="5">
<li>'''Click '''''Next''.&nbsp;</li>
<li>'''Edit '''the details on the remaining ''Display Preference ''and ''Team ''tabs if required.</li>
<li>'''Verify '''the details&nbsp;and '''click '''''Update''. The contract type is updated.</li>
</ol>

The masterdata ''Food Master'' is then available on the ''Configure Attributes ''window in the ''Select Contract Type ''drop-down during agreement creation.
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Extension Attributes 8.png|720px|7.12 Extension Attributes 8.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> 
'''Examples of different attribute types available as extension attributes'''

Attribute types such as conditional, lookup, computations (enable expressions), tracking, multi-select choice and so on can be configured to support extension attributes.

For example, the masterdata ''Vehicle Master ''has types of attributes which can be extended. The attribute ''Place of delivery Vehicle'' is conditional attribute and it’s value depends upon the ''Do you want to Place Order'' attribute’s value.&nbsp;
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Extension Attributes 9.png|720px|7.12 Extension Attributes 9.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> 
The attribute ''Place of Delivery Vehicle ''is displayed only when the attribute ''Do you want to Place Order ''is set to ''Yes''.
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Extension Attributes 10.png|720px|7.12 Extension Attributes 10.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <div class="note-box">Note: User cannot delete the parent extension attribute if there are any dependent conditional or cascading attributes.</div> 
<br/>  <br/> Users can make the attribute mandatory by setting the ''Is Required For Extension''&nbsp;attribute field ''On ''in the contract type.&nbsp;
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Extension Attributes 11.png|720px|7.12 Extension Attributes 11.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> 
For example, the attribute Vehicle Part Number is mandatory (with red asterix mark). The mandatory attributes are available on the Extension Attributes tab during agreement creation by default and users cannot remove them. For example, the delete action is disabled for the mandatory attribute Vehicle Part Number.
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Extension Attributes 12.png|720px|7.12 Extension Attributes 12.png]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <div class="note-box">Note: Extension attributes can be configured to be excluded during copy agreement through technical configuration.</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div>

&nbsp;

== Copy the&nbsp;Existing Agreement ==

Users can copy an existing agreement and&nbsp;create a new agreement using&nbsp;''Copy Record''&nbsp;functionality. The resulting agreement will be a copy of existing agreement with all the metadata and selected associated documents from existing source agreement. The source agreement’s latest approved template will be selected by default to create the copy.

=== Configuring contract type to enable copy existing agreement ===

Authorized users can configure ''Agreement Contract Type'' and set ''Allow Copy With Associations'' field to ''Yes ''to enable ''Copy record''.&nbsp;The agreement created using this specific ''Contract Type'' will have ''Copy Record'' feature enabled by default.

To configure agreement contract type:

#'''Click&nbsp;'''''<i>Configuration</i> ''> ''Create Contract Type''&nbsp;>&nbsp;''Agreement'' >&nbsp;''Next&nbsp;''on the ''Home ''page.''&nbsp;''The ''Create Contract Type'' page opens. 
#'''Toggle '''''Allow Copy With Associations ''to ''Yes ''on ''Details ''tab.

&nbsp;

=== Copy the agreement from agreement details page ===

You can either select the&nbsp;''Associations&nbsp;''and&nbsp;''Commitments'''&nbsp;'''''checkbox to select all available&nbsp;''Associated Documents&nbsp;''and''&nbsp;Commitments&nbsp;''or select the checkboxes for specific&nbsp;''Associated Documents&nbsp;''and''&nbsp;Commitments'''''.'''
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:7.12 Copy from Index 3.1.png|720px|7.12 Copy from Index 3.1.png]]<br/> &nbsp;</div> <div class="note-box">'''Note''': Users can now&nbsp;exclude ''Associated Documents'', ''Associated Documents Attributes'',&nbsp;''Commitments'' and ''Commitments Attributes and e''xtension attributes when copying Agreements through a technical configuration at the Contract Type level.&nbsp; &nbsp;</div> <ol start="5">
<li>If the Associated Document&nbsp;''selected is of the ''Parent-Child''&nbsp;type, then a new copy of that Associated Document is created and attached to the copied Agreement.

<li>'''Click'''&nbsp;''Copy'', this creates the copy of the original Agreement with your selections. The Agreement created is in ''Draft'' state.</li>
</ol>
<div class="note-box">'''Note''': The Associated Document of ''Prerequisite'' and ''None''&nbsp;constraints can only get copied.</div> 
&nbsp;

'''Exclude auto-attached associated documents&nbsp;during copy'''

ICM allows attaching standard documents from the masterdata repository as associations to the agreement based on the defined event rule on the agreement.&nbsp;

When a user copies the agreement with auto-attached associations, system excludes all auto attached associations from being copied to the new agreement. The auto-attached associations won’t be displayed on the Copy Record window. The resulting agreement has the selected manual associations and its own auto-attached associations as per the configured rules.

This avoids the unnecessary upload of files into the ICM repository and duplication of association records on copied agreement as&nbsp;it will have its own auto-attached documents.&nbsp;

Users can select auto-attachment associations when an agreement is sent for signature along with the bundled association and download all associations of an agreement in the ZIP format.

&nbsp;

=== Copy the agreement from agreement index page ===

&nbsp;

== Word Document Compatibility between two different ICM Instances&nbsp; ==

For example, consider a scenario where a user (non-owner) is using a document as third party paper created by the user (owner) and makes some changes in the Word document and sends it to the owner. The owner then uploads the modified version of the Word document. ICM now also supports document assembly, data sync (of metadata, clauses), etc. of the agreement document.

== Collaboration in Contracts &nbsp; ==

ICM has eliminated the need to use external tools such as Email, Skype, etc. and created a dedicated space available within the Agreement itself to collaborate between multiple stakeholders.

To collaborate, multiple stakeholders involved in the contracting/sourcing process can:

*Use the&nbsp;''Collaboration'' tab available inside the Agreement&nbsp; 
*Provision an internal/external Team member to communicate with other internal or external team member(s) by creating Topics and posting messages in it 
*Provision users to send and receive attachments along with the message 
*Provision users to mark the topic as closed once the discussion is concluded 
*Send Email notification to participants when messages are posted on the topic 

This can be achieved by setting the ''Enable Collaboration'' flag to ''Yes ''for the ''Agreement Contract Type'', which displays a ''Collaboration'' tab on the Agreement ''Details'' page. To prevent data loss, once ''Collaboration ''is enabled for a Contract Type, it cannot be disabled.&nbsp;&nbsp;

'''Configuring Collaboration for Contract Types'''
