Using parent’s Organization Unit path when creating associated document


During creation, the organization unit path of the parent document will be displayed by default as the org path for the associated document, thus improving the usability. 

For example, if the organization unit path of the logged in user is /Icertis, but the path of the parent agreement is /Icertis/autoproducts, then the associated document now displays the parent entity’s path i.e. /Icertis/autoproducts. Hence, both parent and child documents have the same organization unit path at the time of creation as well as updation.
 
Org Path 1
 
Org Path 2
 
This is applicable to the following associations:
  • Import of Association (Line item)
  • Auto Attachment Association
  • Obligation/Fulfillment (Association of Association)
The existing event rules apply for the association creation and changes made to org path via event rules are captured in the History.
 

Assembly of Associated documents based on a defined order 

ICI enables users to define the format for assembly of associations tagged as a Table or file in the main Agreement using Saved Search. This is accomplished by tagging Saved Searches of associated documents in an agreement.

Understanding Multi-Party Agreements

Additional platform support for Associations have been added. These enhancements support full platform functionality for Association metadata that was previously available only for Agreement metadata. The additional enhancements fall into three main areas:

  1. Ability to use Association Attributes in Rules
  2. Ability to tag Association Attributes in Agreement and Clause Templates
  3. Ability to use faceted search for Association Attributes from the main Search page
  4. Ability to compare Association tagged as a table across versions

One of the primary functional drivers for these new capabilities is to enable full functionality for Multi-party Agreements.

Making the Association type itself available while selecting Attributes

Building on the functionality around one-to-many relationships in Associations, ICI provides the ability to reference Association counts in Rule criteria. Since Rules can now be written for individual Attributes of an Association, it enables Admins to write Rules based on the count of Associations that have been added of a specific type. All attributes for Associations are available for the given Rule conditions and every Association has a specific sequence number so that the metadata of that sequence is tagged in the Template. You can search selected values of an Agreement or an Associated Document. For a multi-division Agreement, ICI supports writing Rules based on individual instances of the multi-value attributes.

When Rules are written based on the Attributes of the Association, the rules support tagging of the Metadata that belongs to the association. The associations may either be parent-child or peer. After the content control tag is entered, the value of the associated instances’ metadata is placed in the content control as shown in the example below.

 

Introducing a Content Control tag for Association Metadata

You can create a saved search to get the Association attribute and assemble it in the Agreement. You can sort any of the available columns. The name of the saved search is used to tag that association’s Metadata into the Template. This feature works only on Publish Agreement and Edit Agreement.

These changes to the attribute are done by editing the content control in Word manually. The example below shows the content control tag.

Note: This is not available in ICI Word Add-in.

Example:

Editing a content control tag

  1. To tag the association’s metadata to the clause, edit the control tag as follows:

ICMAssociation|AssociationSavedSearchName{0}.ICMClientContactPerson

where,

  • The selected Contact Person from the Contract Party association’s sequence is 1.
  • The index is a zero based index. 0 means 1st instance, 1 means 2nd instance, and so on.
  1. The sample content control will look as follows:

Click here to enter text.

Adding a content control tag

  1. Check if the Developer ribbon is available in the Word menu. To enable it, go to:

        File -> Options -> Customize Ribbon -> Enable Developer

  1. Select Plain Text Content Control -> Properties and add the attribute’s display name in the Title.
Create an Associated Document (multi-party agreement) - Adding a Content Control Tag
  1. Add ICMAssociation|AssociationSavedSearchName{index}.{Attribute’s Technical Name}

where,

  • ICMAssociation: This is static and does not change.
  • AssociationSavedSeachName: As explained above.
  • Index: This is a zero based index. 0 means 1st instance, 1 means 2nd instance, and so on.
  • Attribute’s Technical Name: The technical name of the attribute of Association, such as, ICMCountryName, ICMPartyName, and so on.

 

Comparing Association tagged as a table across Agreement versions

The functionality of alerting users on redlining of changes in Association tagged as a table is visible through the Versions tab of the Agreement document. Let’s see an example where the user edits a table tagged as Association and then uploads a revised Agreement to ICI and how ICI alerts the user regarding the changes made in the table tagged as an Association.

To edit an existing Agreement where a table is tagged as an Association:   

1.  Click the Agreement Management tile on the Home page.  The Agreement Management page opens.
2.  Click the View Record icon next to the Agreement in which you want to edit the Associated Document table. The Agreement Details page opens. For example, Main Sales Order 2.

3.  Click Download to download the Agreement. The Agreement gets downloaded in Microsoft Word document (.Docx) format.
4.  Edit the Associated Document table. For example, let’s remove existing numbers 83, 67, and 75 from the cells of the Display Label column of Line Item: Table1
