== Attribute&nbsp;Group Privileges ==
 +
 +
In ICI, user can also manage the Attribute group privileges through the UI. This is required when you want to restrict an Attribute Group access for any specific role. By default all the users can access the Contract or Agreement, so it gives the privilege to restrict the access of the specific roles for selected Attributes group in selected states.
 +
 +
For example, Agreement Attribute section has different number of Attribute groups, now if the User (Legal Team Manager) is restricted to access Finance group in ''Draft'' state, the user will not be able to see Finance group when logged in, in selected state. Other than ''Draft'' state the user will be able to see Finance group in other states.
 +
 +
To restrict the access of any specific group of Attribute, for any user, in the Agreement:
 +
 +
1.&nbsp;'''Click''' the ''Admin'' tile on ''My Dashboard'', and then '''click''' ''User Groups'' tile.
 +
 +
2.&nbsp;'''Click''' ''Attribute Group Privileges'' tile. The ''Attribute Group Privileges'' page opens.
 +
 +
3.&nbsp;'''Select&nbsp;'''the appropriate ''Contract Type&nbsp;''name in the ''Select Contract Type'' field.

== Ability to configure and control access privileges based on the custom user role ==
 +
 +
ICI now provides the capability to define new roles for agreements and amendments as per business requirements and control their access using existing ICI functionalities (such as ''Role Action Mapping, Attribute Group Privileges'' and ''Security Groups'').&nbsp;The custom roles are added to the ICI through technical configuration.
 +
 +
With custom roles, users can:
 +
 +
*Control navigation pane access for agreement and associated documents. &nbsp;
 +
*Control group access privileges and team actions.
 +
*Configure event rule and notification rule.
 +
<div class="note-box">Note: The custom roles do not support the workflow actions dependent upon other action requests (For example,&nbsp;Approve and Reject for Send for Approval action).</div>
 +
== SLA Matrix ==
 +
 +
The SLA Matrix tile in the&nbsp;''User Groups ''section of the ''User Administration'' tile captures the ''Due Date'' and ''Tim''e for a task to be fulfilled so that they can comply with the Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements of the organization. For most organizations, the Due Date is critical for completion of tasks by a set date and mandatory for Approvers/Action users, this feature is imperative for tasks making the users aware of deadlines and close tasks accordingly.&nbsp;
 +
 +
From the SLA Matrix tile, you can:
 +
 +
*Define SLAs for an Entity
 +
*Drive Notifications for Pending and Overdue Tasks&nbsp;
 +
 +
In ICI, tasks are generated for A''pproval, Deviation Approval, Internal Signature, External Signature, Internal Review, External Review, Contract Request Submitted'', so the Administrator can configure SLA for these actions only based on Contract type. This functionality of determining the Due Date and Time for overdue tasks is available for the following entities that can be selected from the Select Entity Name drop-down list:&nbsp;
 +
 +
*Agreement
 +
*Associated Document
 +
*Clause
 +
*Contract Request
 +
*Contract Type
 +
*Template
 +
*Masterdata
 +
*User Information
 +
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:SLX Matrix index page 7.8.PNG|720px|RTENOTITLE]]</div> <div class="image-green-border">&nbsp;</div> <div class="image-green-border">The SLA Matrix tile displays the following columns on selecting an Entity from the Select Entity Name drop-down which contains a list of entities for which you have created a record:&nbsp;</div>
 +
*''Entity Name'': displays the entities for which an SLA has been defined for the selected entity. For example, Agreement.
 +
*''System Action'': displays the action for which an SLA has been defined for the selected entity. For example, Approval, Internal Signature, Deviation Approval, etc.
 +
*''SLA'': displays the period of the SLA.&nbsp;
 +
<div class="note-box">'''Note''': By default, the SLA is calculated in days, but it can be configured to be calculated in hours.</div>
 +
*''First Reminder Starts'': displays when the first reminder for the SLA will be sent before the due date.
 +
 +
Each of the columns can be filtered and sorted as required.
 +
 +
The Service Level Agreement (SLA) for a particular entity can be calculated from the SLA Matrix tile in the User Administration section. You can define SLAs (due dates applicable to tasks) so that users are aware of time to take these tasks to closure.<br/> To define an SLA for an entity:&nbsp;<br/> 1. '''Click '''the ''User Administration'' tile.<br/> 2.&nbsp;'''Click''' the ''SLA Matrix'' tile.<br/> 3.&nbsp;'''Click''' the ''Define SLA'' button. This opens the ''Define SLA'' window.
 +
 +
On the ''Define SLA'' window:
 +
 +
*'''Select''' the ''Entity Name'' from the drop-down list that has a list of all entities and Contract Types in ICI.
 +
*From the ''Select Action ''drop-down, '''select''' an action to define an SLA for the selected entity. The available options are ''Termination Review, Review, Approval, Deviation Approval, External Signature, Internal Signature ''and ''Contract Request Submitted''. You can select one or more action as per your requirement. For example, ''Review ''and ''Approve.''
 +
*'''Enter''' the ''SLA (days)''. For example, 5 days.
 +
*'''Note: '''By default, the SLA is calculated in days, however, it can be configured to be calculated in hours.
 +
*'''Enter''' when you want the ''First Reminder Starts (days)'' to be sent before the due date. The Scheduler Task is run on a daily basis till the task is completed. For example, 2 days.
 +
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:Define SLA window 7.8.PNG|560px|RTENOTITLE]]</div>
 +
*'''Click '''''Save'' to define your SLA. The SLA for your selected entity will be added to the list of records on the ''SLA Matrix'' page.
 +
 +
Based on the SLA defined for a particular entity, the Task Grid will display it with the Due Date so that the user can easily identify the tasks that are pending action.&nbsp;
 +
 +
The Due Date of the task will be displayed in red for tasks that are overdue or the due date is prior to today. On the other hand, if the due date is ahead of today, then it will be displayed in black.&nbsp;Actual due date calculation is for new tasks, delegated tasks and reassigned tasks. The due date is auto calculated based on the SLA during task creation. When multiple SLA’s are available, ICI considers the lower level first. The field Is Overdue filters tasks so that you can check for ones that are overdue. If ICI does not find a Due Date or Time, then those fields do not display any value.&nbsp;
 +
 +
Clicking the ''Notifications'' tile on the ''Dashboard'' opens the ''Notifications Dashboard''. You can create an ''SLA Reminder'' in the Notifications Dashboard. This can be customized as per your requirements. In the example below, the SLA Reminder is created for overdue tasks and pending tasks.&nbsp;<br/> The user gets an email notification daily for overdue and pending tasks defined in the SLA till the task is completed. The ICI user interface will also display the list of tasks overdue or pending in the respective sections – ''Task Overdue Notification ''and ''Task Pending Notification''.&nbsp;
 +
<div class="image-green-border">[[File:SLA Matrix notification Dashboard 7.8.PNG|560px|RTENOTITLE]]</div>
 +
You can set up a reminder for pending tasks by entering the days when you want the first reminder till the task is completed to ensure compliance with the organization’s needs.&nbsp;
 +
 +
If the&nbsp;''First Reminder Starts'' is 2 days, then the reminder notification for that task will be sent 2 days prior to the due date. For example, you enter that the ''First Reminder Starts'' as 2 days on December 07, 2018, then the first reminder and notification for actions pending will first be sent on December 05, 2018 till December 07, 2018 and will be listed in the Tasks Pending Notifications section. On December 08, 2018, when the due date is crossed, then a reminder and the overdue notification will be sent daily till the task is fulfilled and the task will then be listed in the Task Overdue Notification section. This notification will be sent daily till it is fulfilled. &nbsp;
 +
 +
You can delete a single record from the ''Grid'' list.&nbsp;To delete a record from the list:
 +
 +
1.'''&nbsp;Select''' an entity to delete from the ''Select Entity'' drop-down list.&nbsp;<br/> 2.&nbsp;'''Click''' the ''Delete'' icon next to the entity you want to delete. This opens a window to confirm you want to delete the record.

Attribute Group Privileges

In ICI, user can also manage the Attribute group privileges through the UI. This is required when you want to restrict an Attribute Group access for any specific role. By default all the users can access the Contract or Agreement, so it gives the privilege to restrict the access of the specific roles for selected Attributes group in selected states.

For example, Agreement Attribute section has different number of Attribute groups, now if the User (Legal Team Manager) is restricted to access Finance group in Draft state, the user will not be able to see Finance group when logged in, in selected state. Other than Draft state the user will be able to see Finance group in other states.

Ability to configure and control access privileges based on the custom user role

ICI now provides the capability to define new roles for agreements and amendments as per business requirements and control their access using existing ICI functionalities (such as Role Action Mapping, Attribute Group Privileges and Security Groups). The custom roles are added to the ICI through technical configuration.

With custom roles, users can:

  • Control navigation pane access for agreement and associated documents.  
  • Control group access privileges and team actions.
  • Configure event rule and notification rule.
Note: The custom roles do not support the workflow actions dependent upon other action requests (For example, Approve and Reject for Send for Approval action).

SLA Matrix

The SLA Matrix tile in the User Groups section of the User Administration tile captures the Due Date and Time for a task to be fulfilled so that they can comply with the Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements of the organization. For most organizations, the Due Date is critical for completion of tasks by a set date and mandatory for Approvers/Action users, this feature is imperative for tasks making the users aware of deadlines and close tasks accordingly. 

From the SLA Matrix tile, you can:

  • Define SLAs for an Entity
  • Drive Notifications for Pending and Overdue Tasks 

In ICI, tasks are generated for Approval, Deviation Approval, Internal Signature, External Signature, Internal Review, External Review, Contract Request Submitted, so the Administrator can configure SLA for these actions only based on Contract type. This functionality of determining the Due Date and Time for overdue tasks is available for the following entities that can be selected from the Select Entity Name drop-down list: 

  • Agreement
  • Associated Document
  • Clause
  • Contract Request
  • Contract Type
  • Template
  • Masterdata
  • User Information
RTENOTITLE
 
The SLA Matrix tile displays the following columns on selecting an Entity from the Select Entity Name drop-down which contains a list of entities for which you have created a record: 
  • Entity Name: displays the entities for which an SLA has been defined for the selected entity. For example, Agreement.
  • System Action: displays the action for which an SLA has been defined for the selected entity. For example, Approval, Internal Signature, Deviation Approval, etc.
  • SLA: displays the period of the SLA. 
Note: By default, the SLA is calculated in days, but it can be configured to be calculated in hours.
  • First Reminder Starts: displays when the first reminder for the SLA will be sent before the due date.

Each of the columns can be filtered and sorted as required.

The Service Level Agreement (SLA) for a particular entity can be calculated from the SLA Matrix tile in the User Administration section. You can define SLAs (due dates applicable to tasks) so that users are aware of time to take these tasks to closure.
To define an SLA for an entity: 
1. Click the User Administration tile.
2. Click the SLA Matrix tile.
3. Click the Define SLA button. This opens the Define SLA window.

On the Define SLA window:

  • Select the Entity Name from the drop-down list that has a list of all entities and Contract Types in ICI.
  • From the Select Action drop-down, select an action to define an SLA for the selected entity. The available options are Termination Review, Review, Approval, Deviation Approval, External Signature, Internal Signature and Contract Request Submitted. You can select one or more action as per your requirement. For example, Review and Approve.
  • Enter the SLA (days). For example, 5 days.
  • Note: By default, the SLA is calculated in days, however, it can be configured to be calculated in hours.
  • Enter when you want the First Reminder Starts (days) to be sent before the due date. The Scheduler Task is run on a daily basis till the task is completed. For example, 2 days.
RTENOTITLE
  • Click Save to define your SLA. The SLA for your selected entity will be added to the list of records on the SLA Matrix page.

Based on the SLA defined for a particular entity, the Task Grid will display it with the Due Date so that the user can easily identify the tasks that are pending action. 

The Due Date of the task will be displayed in red for tasks that are overdue or the due date is prior to today. On the other hand, if the due date is ahead of today, then it will be displayed in black. Actual due date calculation is for new tasks, delegated tasks and reassigned tasks. The due date is auto calculated based on the SLA during task creation. When multiple SLA’s are available, ICI considers the lower level first. The field Is Overdue filters tasks so that you can check for ones that are overdue. If ICI does not find a Due Date or Time, then those fields do not display any value. 

Clicking the Notifications tile on the Dashboard opens the Notifications Dashboard. You can create an SLA Reminder in the Notifications Dashboard. This can be customized as per your requirements. In the example below, the SLA Reminder is created for overdue tasks and pending tasks. 
The user gets an email notification daily for overdue and pending tasks defined in the SLA till the task is completed. The ICI user interface will also display the list of tasks overdue or pending in the respective sections – Task Overdue Notification and Task Pending Notification. 

RTENOTITLE

You can set up a reminder for pending tasks by entering the days when you want the first reminder till the task is completed to ensure compliance with the organization’s needs. 

If the First Reminder Starts is 2 days, then the reminder notification for that task will be sent 2 days prior to the due date. For example, you enter that the First Reminder Starts as 2 days on December 07, 2018, then the first reminder and notification for actions pending will first be sent on December 05, 2018 till December 07, 2018 and will be listed in the Tasks Pending Notifications section. On December 08, 2018, when the due date is crossed, then a reminder and the overdue notification will be sent daily till the task is fulfilled and the task will then be listed in the Task Overdue Notification section. This notification will be sent daily till it is fulfilled.
