Tag override enables a document's editors and collaborators to update, add, or delete fundamental and key terms. Authorized users can thus keep extracted data up to date, leaving an audit trail of all changes to each tag.

While authorized users can create and edit user tags on all documents (extracted or store-only), tag override only applies to contracts with fundamental or key terms.

Unlock Mode

Note

To edit tags, you must have an admin or co-admin role in the system, and collaborator or editor access permission to the file.

Admins and co-admins can see the lock button to access unlock mode. Once in unlock mode, an editor or a collaborator can update, add, or delete a contract's fundamentals or key terms. 

Click the lock icon to enter unlock mode. To switch back to locked mode, click the icon again. If you can't see the lock icon, you may lack editor or collaborator access to the document.

  1. Open the Documents Stage or Documents view to raise a list of documents.
  2. Select a tagged document.
  3. Click the lock icon to enter unlock mode.
  4. Click the Edit (pen) icon and enter a new value.

To view override history

Click the history icon next to any fundamental property to review who, when, and how a tag was updated, what was updated, and why. You don't have to be in unlock mode to use this feature. 

Overriding Tags

Tag overrides enable you to edit terms and provisions, providing more granular and dynamic date calculations. Changing an effective date (on a renewal, for example) can automatically update all subsequent dates for execution, delivery, payment, and renewal. 

You can edit the way dates are calculated in the agreement using the following date types:
