Clause Management

A Clause is a distinct article or provision in a Contract or Agreement, or other formal or legal written documents. In ICM, you can create new Clauses for various Contract Types, and use these Clauses while creating Templates.

Using the Clause Management feature, you can perform the following tasks:

• Search a Clause 
• Create a Clause
• Approve/Reject a Clause
• Edit a Clause

Searching a Clause

In ICM, you can search an existing Clause for multiple reasons such as:

• To know the details of the Clause.
• To know the status of the Clause.
• To edit an existing Clause.
• You use multiple parameters to search an existing Clause.
• To search Agreements and Amendments based on Clause usage.   

In ICM, you can use various options given below, including the dynamic search feature, to find the desired Clause.

Option 1:

1. Click the Clause Management tile on Home page. The Clause Management page opens.
2. Search for a specific clause by using any of the following options:

• Under Categories, click the Select Field list, and then select an appropriate item. Search results relevant to the item (that is selected field) are displayed with a number in the bracket. The number denotes the number of clauses that meet the search criteria.
• Select the checkbox to select a specific item. A list of clauses relevant to the item is displayed. To refine your search further, type the relevant keyword in the Custom Keyword box, and click Apply.

Option 2:

Alternatively, type the keywords in the box provided above the list of clauses. A list of relevant clauses is displayed.

You can further narrow your search by using any of the following methods:

• "..." - Type the search term in double quotation marks. It shows existing clauses that include the exact search term.
  • ...* - Type the search term in star characters. It shows existing clauses that include the exact search term.
  • ... - Add a Prefix * to the search term. It shows existing clauses that end with this term.
  • ...* - Add a Suffix * to the search term. It shows existing clauses that start with this term.

Viewing the saved search terms

View your saved search terms with the following:

• In the More Searches box, select your saved search, and click Add to Favorites icon to mark the search term as favorite.
• You can find your marked favorites below the tiles.

Users can also search and retrieve clauses with extended attributes as search parameters from Clause index page search, Advanced Search, Global Search andSaved Search. Extended attributes are available in search facets drop-downs along with regular attributes.

Searching Agreements and Amendments based on Clause usage

ICM allows searching of Agreements and Amendments based on Clause usage and using Advanced Search. This allows users to prioritize the Agreements they plan to work based on Clause usage, thus being able to tackle high-risk Agreements first and mitigating risks. 

You can now search and filter Agreements using the following Clause categories: Clause Group, Clause Language, Clause Name, Is Alternate Clause, Is Dependent Clause, Is Deviated, Is Editable, Is Mandatory, Perform Deviation Analysis, Primary Clause, and Clause Code.

Agreements

Let’s search Agreements where Clauses have deviated, and approvals are pending from Deviation Approvers using Clause categories.

To search Agreement where Clauses have deviated:
1.  Click the Agreement Management tile on the Home page. The Agreement Management page opens. 

 
2.  Enter a category or select one from the Categories drop-down. For example, Document Clauses: Is Deviated.

 
To search Agreements where the Status is Deviation Approval Pending:
4.  Enter a category or select one from the Categories drop-down. For example, Team Member: Role Name.
5.  Select the checkbox for DeviationApprover to view the Agreements where approval is pending from Deviation Approvers. All Agreements where the Status is Deviation Approval Pending are displayed.
 

 
6.  Click the View Record icon next to the Agreement you want to select. The Agreement Details page opens. 
7.  Click the Deviations tab to view the Deviation Status in Clauses for the selected Agreement.
 

 

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.

• 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.

4. Click the plus icon next to Deviation Approver to manually add approvers for your deviated clauses.

5. Click the Send for Approval button.

• Click   to view the comments provided by other users in the team or other stakeholders.
• Click   to open the Deviation Details window. It displays the standard clause text, the deviated clause text and the comments provided by other users. You can add your own comments too.
• Click   to remove a deviation.

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.

• Clear All: Clears all selections.
• Click Save Changes to save your changes.

The clauses that have been approved will have the status Approved, whereas the ones that have been rejected or no actions have been taken will have the status Requires Approval.

Editing a Clause

With ICM, you can edit a Clause at any state. For example, you can edit a clause that is approved. However, you have to approve the Clause again.
If you edit a Clause in the Approved state and update the same, the status of the Clause changes to Draft.
Then the clause needs to go through an approval process again.

To edit a Clause:

1. Click the View Record icon next to the Clause on the Clause Management page to edit a particular clause. The Clause Details page opens.

2. Click Edit. The Edit Clause page opens.

3. Edit the data in the required fields, and click Next. The Team section opens.

4. Complete the required steps under the Team tab and click Next. The Verify section opens. The details of the Clause you want to update are displayed.

• Click Previous to go back to previous tabs.
• Click Update to update the clause. The Contract Summary page opens.

6. Choose any of the following options:

• Edit to make changes to the Clause.
• Send For Approval to send the Clause to an assigned approver.
• Delete to delete the Clause.

Accessing Control on Clauses

The access and visibility of Clauses are restricted through a technical configuration in the following ways: *By restricting access control to the ICM Clause Library based on the Organization level or by adding the user to a Clause Team based on User Groups. This allows the Administrator to selectively provide view access as compared to all users having access to the Clauses tab being able to view and access all clauses in ICM’s Clause Library. So, if a user is not part of Clause Team, only the Clause tile will be displayed but clauses will not be visible to the user even though View privileges have been given in the Security Group.  *By provisioning Event Rules by adding members to the Clause Team thus saving the time of manually adding users to the Team. You can now define conditions on Clause entity attributes such as Clause Created, Clause Updated, Clause Sent For Approval, Clause Approved, etc. *By providing support for the Observer role in the Clause Library and giving read only access using Role Action Mapping for Clause Entity.  *By providing Clause Team-based access filtering at the Template and Agreement level using Word Add-in (.Net and .JS). When editing an Agreement, the clauses are displayed on the Agreement Clauses tab, Parent Agreement Clauses, Library based on the configuration. 

Let's consider an example of Access Control on Clauses using the Organization path screenshot below: As User 7 creates the following primary clauses – Clause 01, Clause 02, Clause 03 and Clause 04. To do this:

1. Click the Clause Management tile on the Home page.
2. Click the Create Clause tile. This opens the Create Clause page.
3. Enter the details for the Clause: *Enter the Name of the Clause. For example, Clause 01. *Enter the remaining details for the Clause.

4. Click Next. This opens the Team tab.
5. Add a member to the team by clicking the Add icon.
6. Click Next. This opens the Verify tab and verifies the Clause details on the page. 
7. Click Create to create Clause 01. This opens the Clause Details page with a  preview of the Clause document.
8. Click the Send for Approval button to send it for approval. The Clause will be listed on the Clause Management Index page.
9. Similarly, create Clause 02, Clause 03 and Clause 04 as primary clauses. All users in Auto Products, all users in Auto Quality, and all users in Auto Implementation QA can access all the clauses.
10. Add User 6to the Team in one of the following ways: *Add User 6 as an Observer to the Team and give access to Clause 01 and Clause 03. User can search and view these Clauses, but cannot make any updates to them.  *Add User 6 as a Contributor to the Team and give access to Clause 01 and Clause 03. User can now search, access and make updates to these Clauses now. *Add User 6 to the Team by provisioning Event Rules. You can now define conditions on Clause entity attributes such as Clause Created, Clause Updated, Clause Sent For Approval, Clause Approved, etc.

Let’s consider the same example as above, User 6 can also create a Template for the same Contract Type in ICM or using Word Add-in:
1. Create a Template using Word Add-in.
2. Click the Clauses tab.
3. Enter a search criterion in the Library Clauses field. The Clauses accessible to the user are listed. 
4. Preview the Template. Clauses are listed depending on the Rule based conditions. 

Creating an Agreement using the Template created in Word Add-in:
1. Create an Agreement using this template. User 6 can see the entire Agreement even though access to Clause 02 and Clause 04 is not given. 

2. Click the Agreement Clauses tab. All clauses are visible as they are not access controlled at the Agreement level. 

3. Click Show Clause to view the clause information.
4. Download the Agreement. User can see all the Library Clauses, Agreement Clauses, and Parent Agreement Clauses. 
5. Add an Alternate Clause to Clause 04. 

User 6 cannot see this clause as Clause 04 is a primary clause, hence the user who does not have access to the primary clause will not be able to see the Alternate Clauses. However, the Alternate Clauses are still visible on the Agreement Clauses tab.

Configuring Rules for Inclusion/Exclusion of Clauses

You can configure Rules to include or exclude Clauses from an Agreement. You can also configure the addition of a Clause Approver to the Team to identify and approve additional requests when a Clause is included or excluded from the Agreement. This allows users to define deviation approval Rules to support Clause inclusion or exclusion from an Agreement that can be tracked throughout the workflow. The following conditions apply to this feature:

• The Clause Approval Rule is only evaluated for Edit and Upload actions *For Clauses added systematically, Rule does not trigger the inclusion Rule
• The Clause Approvers can be added based on a Rule; they cannot be added not manually
• The Clause Approval Rule is evaluated by comparing the Agreement with the previous version (the first version does not get evaluated)
• The Clause Approval Rule is evaluated until the Agreement is approved

To include a Clause from an Agreement: 
1. Create an Agreement. For example, MSA.

2. If we want to create an inclusion Rule for an External Signatory, click the Add User icon to select the External Signatory on the Attributes page. 

3. Search User in the Users window and click the Add button. For example, CLM Admin.

4. The Attributes page opens displaying the added user in the External Signatory field. 

5. Click Next. The Select Template page opens.
6. Select the RuleBasedClauses template. 

7. Click Next. The Create Agreement page opens.
8. Click Create and Publish to create the Agreement. The Agreement Details page opens.

9. Go to the Home page and click the Configuration tile. 
10. Click the Rule tile to add a Clause Inclusion Rule for an Approver.

11. Click the Contract Type. For example, MSA. 
12. Select the Rule to view the Rule Summary.  

13. On the Create Rule page, select the Contract Type, add the Rule Name (for example, If Clause Name Starts With AcmeRule), Rule Description, and the Rule Type (for example, Clause Assembly). 

14. Click Next and add the Rule conditions. 
15. Click Next. 
16. Click View Rule Summary. 

17. Click Create to create the Rule. The Rule created successfully message is displayed. 

18. Click Ok. TheRule Index page opens. 
The Rule has been created such that when a Clause Name Starts with AcmeRule, then the Clause will be included (or excluded based on the creation Rule) and the Clause Approver will be added to the Team at Step Number 10. 
19. Go to the Agreement Management page and select the created Agreement (for example, MSA).
20. The Agreement Details page opens. Click the Agreement Clauses tab. The default Clause from the first version of the Agreement is displayed.

21. Edit the Agreement. If the Clause Assembly Rule is satisfied, then a new Clause is added to the Agreement. Click Next.

22. Click Update. A new Clause is added to the Agreement versions. The Clause Approval Rule is driven and the user is added (at Step Number 10 as defined). A new tab Clause Approver is displayed in the Pending state.

23. Click the Clause Approver tab. The Clause will be displayed with the Approve and Reject buttons.

You can also include or exclude Clauses using clause metadata or extended attributes (as discussed in the example above) or the Edit or Upload options. You can download the Agreement, and add, remove or modify a new Clause by setting up Rules in that way for Clause Approval.

Comparing Clauses

When an agreement is published, you can compare changes made to clauses between consecutive versions of the agreement. For the first version of the agreement, there are no clauses to compare, hence the Previous Text box displays no information and the Current Text box displays the information of the current version of the agreement.

To compare clauses between different versions of an agreement:

1. Click the Compare Clause Changes with Previous Document Version icon on the agreement Details page. The Compare Changes with Previous Document Version window opens. The Previous Text box does not display any clauses as it is the first version of the agreement. The Current Text box displays the clauses in the current version of the agreement.

2. Click Select Alternate Clause. The List of alternate clauses for SOW Subclause 1 window displays a list of alternate clauses for SOW Subclause 1.

Replacing Clause Text from ICM

ICM allows replacing the clause text with the alternate clause text from ICM itself. This is accomplished using Compare Clause Changes with Previous Document Version icon available on the agreement Details page. For any particular Primary clause, users can view the list of alternate clauses by clicking the Select Alternate Clause link and select the Alternate clause to swap it with the chosen Primary clause. This Compare Changes with Previous Document Version window gives users the additional flexibility to preview the Previous Text and the Current Text of clauses.

With this release, contract authors will now be able to preview the list of Clause approvers that are triggered when a clause is added, removed or replaced, and a new version of the agreement is created. The modifications can also be viewed on the Content Control Differences window, thus helping users to make informed decisions before actually creating a new version of agreement.    

To replace clauses:

1. Click the Compare Clause Changes with Previous Document Version icon on the agreement Details page. 
 
 
The Compare Changes with Previous Document Version window displays the clause difference between Current Text and Previous Text. 
2. Click Select Alternate Clause. The List of alternate clauses for SOW Subclause 1 window displays a list of alternate clauses for SOW Subclause 1.

A message is displayed to indicate the Approvers which would be added if the clause is replaced. Separate messages are also displayed for those clauses, for which Approvers will be added if those particular clauses are selected. For example, If this clause is selected, Second Approver, Third Approver will be added as Approvers to the team. Here, contract authors can preview the set of approvers that would get added to the team, while replacing the clause with an alternate clause (before the document assembly takes place). 

Similarly, a message is displayed for clauses where some Approvers will be removed, and others will be added. For example, If this clause is replaced, Eighth Approver will be removed; Fourth Approver, Fifth Approver and 1 other will be added as Approvers to the team.

3. Select the clause to be replaced from the list of available alternate clauses. For example, Clause with Image.
 
 
4. Click Use this clause. 
 
 
5. ThePlease Confirm window opens if there is Dependent Clause available for the selected clause. 
6. Click Yes if you want to add the dependent clause as well.
 
 
7. The SOW subclause 1 is replaced by SOW sub clause2 in the Compare Changes with Previous Document Version window.

8. Click Save Changes. The clause text is replaced by Alternate clause.   
9. The Versions tab displays the changes made in the Clause text.

10. Click Show All Details to view the Content Control Differences. Details on any Approver(s) added due to swapping of clauses are displayed in the Change column.

11. The SOW subclause 1 is replaced by SOW sub clause2 and its dependent clause (SOW dependent clause).

Support for extended clause metadata

Previously, ICM had limited capability to capture additional attributes as part of a clause creation.
