=== Document Usability with Content Control tagging in Clauses ===
 +
 
 +
ICI&nbsp;places&nbsp;each content control in a separate paragraph line. Dynamic clauses are added inside the blank content control which are satisfied through rules.&nbsp;
 +
<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.&nbsp;
 +
*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.&nbsp;
 +
*If all the content controls are together, they appear in Icertis Experience for Word as part of the main paragraph.&nbsp;
 +
*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.&nbsp;
 +
*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.
 +

Basic Guidelines

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.
Note: For a Windows system, select the Enable Protected mode checkbox for Internet options under Security tabs (internet, local intranet, trusted sites).

Note: The Discover Attributes and Clauses, Find Similar Clauses and Find Similar Agreements options will only be visible if the user has purchased and has authorization for Negotiate AI functionality.

 

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.

To use the attributes and clause discovery features in Icertis Experience for Word:

  1. Click Discover Attributes and Clauses.

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.

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. 

Document Usability 1

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.
Document Usability 2

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.
Document Usability 3

Creating a Rule
