When you select a contract you will be taken to the Contract Details page. The top of this page displays a visual timeline of the contract. You can use your mouse wheel to scroll up/down or to zoom in/out of the timeline. This allows you to focus in or out on a specific date.
Details
To view the specific details for the contract, simply scroll down to the Details section below the timeline.
Vendor: Clicking on the Vendor name will take you to their Vendor record. The coloured dot will only appear if you have the Vendor Performance Management module enabled and the Vendor has been scored on performance. The colour of the dot is associated with the rating of the Vendor's performance.
Auto-renewable: This is a flag used to denote contracts that will automatically renew unless you take action to cancel them (eg. a rental agreement will automatically switch to month-to-month at the end of the lease unless someone cancels it). This is a filtering flag only and will not automatically renew the contract or change terms.
Extendable: You have the option of extending this contract into future Contract Terms. If you do not change the active Contract Term, then the contract will end when the currently active Contract Term expires. This is a filtering flag only and will not automatically renew the contract or change terms.
Each contract also contains additional sections listed on the left-hand side where you can access, view, and edit more of the contract's information:
- Commodity Codes
- Terms & Change orders
- Vendor Contacts
- Documents
- People
- Reminders
Each section is comprised of columns that are fully sortable by clicking on the column heading. In the upper right hand corner of each section you will see a button allowing you to add/create additional items to the section (i.e. add additional Vendor contacts, documents etc...).
Let's have a closer look at each section:
Commodity Codes
Commodity codes allow the Buyer to tag a contract with a Commodity Code.
Commodity Codes are displayed along with titles and descriptions. You can search for Commodity Codes by code or by keyword. Click on the corresponding "+" icon to add a particular code to the Contract.
Terms & Change Orders
Terms and Change Orders allow a user to create and track terms and change orders in a contract.
The active term is shown by the highlighted and check-marked value under the Term/Change Order column. Inactive terms can be deleted by clicking on the "Actions" button next to the term, and then selecting "Delete". Terms and Change Orders can be added to the contract by clicking on the "+Add Term" and "+Add Change Order" buttons at the bottom of the section.
Lastly, all of the terms shown in the Terms & Change Orders table can be exported to Excel by clicking on the download button at the bottom of the section.

If your contract is marked as Public, then this setting can be toggled at the time the document is created:
