By setting up the template filtering rules, the Template selection page can be configured to set up user-defined filters to narrow the list of Templates displayed to the user for Preview/Generate/Generate Supporting Document/Regenerate tasks.

About Universal Unique IDs

Universal unique identifier (UUID) fields of the agreement templates, clause templates, and term exceptions in Contract Management support the functionality available with the X-Author Migration Manager.

The UUIDs help provide the ability to update and migrate templates from one org to another. These IDs are unique and once an ID is assigned to a template or term exception object record, it cannot be changed.

To use the templates with the UUID field, you must have X-Author Contracts 7.0 or higher.
