Creating an Agreement from a Contract Request[edit]


= Creating an Agreement from a Contract Request =

You navigate to this page from an approved request. From here, you can specify basic details of the Agreement, select the attributes and template to be used and publish and send the agreement for approval.

There are several ways to create agreements in ICM:

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

A user role defines controls or permissions given to a user. '''ICM''' has the following predefined user roles for the '''Agreements''' feature:

*Contract Admin 
*Primary Owner 
*Approver 
*Reviewer 
*Deviation Approver 

You can create an Agreement from a [[Glossary|Contract Request]] if you are assigned a role of a '''Contract Admin'''.<br/> While creating a Request, the '''Requestor''' (primary owner) adds the '''Contract Admin''' to the team.<br/> After the Request is approved, you receive the Notification for the same. You can check this notification under the '''Notifications''' tile. Then, click the appropriate Request link to review the Request information and create the Agreement.

To create an '''Agreement''' from a Request:

#Click the '''Notifications''' tile on the Home page, and then click the '''Tasks''' tab. A list of tasks and notifications appears. 
#Select the requests that are awaiting your action. 
#Review the information and then click '''Create Contract'''.
