Adding an Item to a Contract List
There are eight field lists in the default Contract Profile: Contract Location, Group, Type and Status, Contract Responsibilities, Agreement Type, Additional Party Type, and Address Type. In addition to these default field lists, a user with the Additional Forms Admin permission can add additional field lists to the Contract Profile screen, and must also have the List Admin permission to add selections to the field lists they add.
A List Admin must provide item selections for the eight field lists in the default Contract Profile screen: Additional Party Type (types of additional parties to a contract, such as a limited partner), Address Type (different locations specified in a contract, such as shipping and billing addresses), Contract Location (place where contract was written or stored), Contract Group (security measure to restrict access to contracts by user role), Agreement Type, Contract Status, Contract Type (classification of contracts using a hierarchy), and Contract Responsibility (responsibility is defined and linked to user functions and types).
In addition to these default field lists, a user with the Additional Forms Admin permission can add additional field lists to the Contract Profile screen, and must also have the List Admin permission to add selections to the field lists they add.
Item selections are typically added to a field list in the Contract Profile screen using the steps in the Contract Status and Agreement Type examples shown below. The Contract Type field and Contract Responsibility fields involve variations to the basic procedure. The Quick Tip and Required Fields lists are also handled differently.
Contract Status
The Contract Status list in the List Administration screen works in conjunction with Contract Profile Rules in that a Profile Rule will be applied even if the Status field in a Contract Profile is set to something other than Active, as long as the Status Type for the contract status is set to Active in the List Administration screen.
Agreement Type
The Agreement Type and Contract Status lists are the only contract lists that contain a Status Type list.
