With Microsoft Excel Add-in, you can create and upload agreements in your central ICM repository using the familiar Microsoft Excel interface. You can use ICM Excel Add-in to create agreements in bulk, and upload them into ICM all together. A user uploading agreements using Excel Add-in can specify the names of the actual Primary Owners of those Agreements. The Excel Add-in contains a drop-down with the Primary Owner option. As this is an optional field, if the name of the Primary Owner is not specified, then the logged on user is treated as the Primary Owner. This is only applicable for create Agreement and add Amendment in any state. 

Each Agreement is assigned a unique agreement ID in ICM known as its Agreement Code. This code can be manually added while uploading legacy agreements in bulk using ICM Excel Add-in. If an Agreement code is missing, the system auto-generates it on clicking the Create button in the Verify section. Only Agreements and Amendments can be manually added.

Note: To avoid duplication of legacy code, ensure that the code entered manually does not already exist.
