+ | === Document Usability with Content Control tagging in Clauses === | ||
+ | |||
+ | ICI places each content control in a separate paragraph line. Dynamic clauses are added inside the blank content control which are satisfied through rules. | ||
+ | <div class="image-green-border">[[File:Document Usability 1.png|720px|Document Usability 1]]</div> | ||
+ | Clauses are tagged with content controls as follows: | ||
+ | |||
+ | *All the content controls are put together in a single paragraph on any line with valid content. | ||
+ | *One paragraph is added after the resolved clauses, so that it does not affect the deviation analysis of the previous clause. | ||
+ | *An empty paragraph following the clause is added if the preceding content is a clause. This will contain all the clauses that are not satisfied by the clause assembly rules. | ||
+ | *If all the content controls are together, they appear in Icertis Experience for Word as part of the main paragraph. | ||
+ | *Clauses removed in the previous version are marked as deleted in the Clause Comparison Report and the user can insert a comment when editing the document. | ||
+ | <div class="image-green-border">[[File:Document Usability 2.png|720px|Document Usability 2]]</div> | ||
+ | '''Note:''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | *Only file-based clauses are supported. | ||
+ | *Custom fonts (font type and font size) at content control level of the rule based clauses are currently not supported in the template. | ||
+ | *Location-specific (such as center justified) rule based clauses cannot be tagged. | ||
+ | *Numbering at template level is not supported. | ||
+ | *One paragraph will be added after the resolved clauses, so that it does not affect the deviation analysis of the previous clause. | ||
+ | *Clause with only comments will not be reassembled after approved state unless the agreement is edited. This is handled through a technical configuration. | ||

Here are some helpful tips to have a better experience with Icertis Experience for Word:
- Reload Icertis Experience for Word every time your system goes into Sleep mode or you are not using Icertis Experience for Word for a long time.
- Clear System cache before loading Icertis Experience for Word for better performance or if you hit any blocker as mentioned in previous section.
- Icertis Experience for Word is a Web client application, so you may face some glitches while accessing it for the first time as Office.JS creates primary folders in the backend and it is normal behavior. Icertis Experience for Word will work as expected once it is completely set.
Managing Access Privileges for using Icertis Experience for Word
Each ICI user plays a specific role in the Agreement workflow. An Administrator assigns roles, and they can be customized as per the business requirements.
You can provide complete access to creating, editing and removing Templates and Clauses from either Icertis Experience for Word or the ICI user interface. This is achieved by managing privileges of entities such as Agreements, Clauses and Contract Types for the selected Security Group from ICI. You can also set the Org Path for specific Security Group users to Root Level.
To manage access privileges for an ICI user:
1. Click User Administration on the Dashboard.
2. Click Users. The list of currently set up users is displayed on the Users page.
3. Click the View Record icon to display the selected user record.
4. Click the Edit button. The Edit User page opens.
5. Click the Organization Unit icon to set the Org Path. The Select Organization Unit page opens.
6. Set the Org Path to Root.
7. Click Ok.
8. Click User Administration on the Dashboard.
9. Click Security Groups. The list of current Security Group settings is displayed on the Security Group Details page.

Working with Agreements
Using Icertis Experience for Word, you can perform the below tasks for agreements:
- Discover Attributes and Clauses
- Find Similar Clauses
- Find Similar Agreements
- View Existing Agreements
Discovering Attributes and Clauses
When you initiate the discovery process using the Icertis Experience for Word, the system triggers the discovery of attributes and clauses for both - own and third party type of paper. However, only non-tagged attributes and clauses are discovered. If a clause from the ICI Clause Library is already tagged in the agreement document, it will not be discovered during the process again.
To use the attributes and clause discovery features in Icertis Experience for Word:
- Click Discover Attributes and Clauses.
- Select the Category and Agreement Type.
- Click Discover. The Discovery in progress… loading icon is displayed while the Clauses are being discovered and the Attributes are being identified to tag them to the Imported Agreements automatically.
The Review Agreement Discovery Now message appears.
Agreement Clauses
- Click the AI Discovered tab to review and select from the discovered clauses.
The blue bars next to the clause category names indicate the discovery confidence level (High, Medium, Low) of the discovered clauses.
- Click the dots to display the actions that can be taken on the clauses, such as Select Matched Clause, Find Similar Clause, Ignore Clause and Remove Identification.
- Click the clause to see the location on the document.
The following actions can be taken on selected Clause:
- Click Select Matched Clause. The actions available on the matched clause are displayed: Compare, Confirm with deviation, Confirm, Review Later and Replace Clause.
- Click Compare to compare the clause based on the match from the Clause Library.
- Click Confirm with deviation if you want to track the clause deviations.
- Click Review Later if you are unsure and want to review a clause later.
- Click Replace Clause if you want to replace the clause with another one.
Sort the Search by:
- Document Order
- Category Order
- Click SAVE to save your work in the Draft status.
- Click PUBLISH. A new agreement is created, and the clauses will be displayed on the Clauses tab on the agreement Details page. The remaining workflow continues as expected.
- Click the Show tagged only toggle to review and select from the detected attributes.
All the discovered attributes (such as Contract Value, Effective Date, Expiry Date and so on) are displayed as shown in the screenshot below. The Contract Value is present with the supported currencies. The grouping of attributes is based on the grouping preferences applied at the time of Contract Type creation.
The blue bars next to the attributes indicate the discovery confidence level of each attribute. The number next to a blue bar indicates the number of times the attribute is present in the document.
- Click the attribute name to see the location on the document.
- Click the dots to display the actions that can be taken, such as Ignore Attribute and Identify Attribute.
- Identify Attribute: Select this to assign selected text as a value of the attribute

- Edit the attributes as required. For example, you can select an External Signatory or change the Effective Date/Expiry Date.
- Click PUBLISH. This checks for any validation error in mandatory and invalid attribute values.
Document Usability with Content Control tagging in Clauses
ICI places each content control in a separate paragraph line. Dynamic clauses are added inside the blank content control which are satisfied through rules.
Clauses are tagged with content controls as follows:
- All the content controls are put together in a single paragraph on any line with valid content.
- One paragraph is added after the resolved clauses, so that it does not affect the deviation analysis of the previous clause.
- An empty paragraph following the clause is added if the preceding content is a clause. This will contain all the clauses that are not satisfied by the clause assembly rules.
- If all the content controls are together, they appear in Icertis Experience for Word as part of the main paragraph.
- Clauses removed in the previous version are marked as deleted in the Clause Comparison Report and the user can insert a comment when editing the document.
Note:
- Only file-based clauses are supported.
- Custom fonts (font type and font size) at content control level of the rule based clauses are currently not supported in the template.
- Location-specific (such as center justified) rule based clauses cannot be tagged.
- Numbering at template level is not supported.
- One paragraph will be added after the resolved clauses, so that it does not affect the deviation analysis of the previous clause.
- Clause with only comments will not be reassembled after approved state unless the agreement is edited. This is handled through a technical configuration.
