A user with the List Admin permission creates the contract types used to categorize the contracts stored in Conga Contracts. A List Admin can set up a hierarchy to accurately identify each contract type and facilitate searching and/or reporting when locating a general contract type or specific sub-type. For example, if your company sells software and also provides support for the software, a Sales contract type could be created and contain two different types of contracts: Products (for customers who only purchase the software) and Products & Services (for customers who purchase the software and customer support).

  1. Click the Gear Icon in the Navigation Toolbar, and click the Lists link in the menu.
  2. In the List Administration screen, enter contract in the Search field and press the ENTER key on your keyboard.
  3. When the alphabetized results display in the Fields List section, locate the Contract (7 Items) category.
  4. In the Contract category, click the Contract Type list to display the existing types in right side of the screen.
