Upload Agreements in Bulk using Excel Add-in
With Microsoft Excel Add-in, you can create and upload agreements in bulk using the familiar Microsoft Excel interface. While uploading Agreements, you can add the actual names of an Agreement’s Primary Owner, instead of using the credentials of the logged in user. This offers you improved usability because the name and email of the logged in user is replaced by those of the Primary Owner, if specified. This is only applicable for Create Agreement and Add Amendment in any state.
The Excel Add-in contains a drop-down with the Primary Owner option. As this is an optional field, if the name of the Primary Owner is not specified, then the logged on user is treated as the Primary Owner.
Each Agreement is assigned a unique agreement ID in ICM known as its Agreement Code. While uploading legacy agreements in bulk using Excel Add-in, if the original Agreement code of Agreements and Amendments is not manually added, the system auto-generates it on clicking the Create button in the Verify section.
You can navigate to the History or Team tab to verify that the Primary Owner Name and Email matches that specified in the Excel Add-in.
