When adding, editing or viewing Contracts, there are multiple components. See Contract – New - Form Layout and Navigation or Contract – View/Edit - Form Layout and Navigation for more information.
The Contract General component is where the general or core details of the Contract are entered.
The General component is displayed by default when the View/Edit function is initiated. This is a longer component that can be navigated by scrolling up and down.

It is separated into sections, with each section having a heading highlighted in blue:
- General Information - general details
- Additional Information - this only displays if custom fields have been setup
- Contract Dates - dates pertaining to the Contract
- Inclusions & Exclusions - Terms regarding specific inclusions or exclusions on the Contract
- Attachments - general files associated with the contract
- Signed Documents - upload files that are signed for reference purposes
- Executed Documents - upload files that are executed for reference purposes
For a New Contract, all the details on the Contract General component can be added.
For Editing a Contract, the Contract General component details can only be changed if Contracts are in certain Status. See Contracts - Status for more information.
The System Administrator can turn on/off display of a majority of fields on the General Component and whether or not a field is required (to align to the process for the organization). See Settings - Contract Settings - Contract Core Field Setting for more information.
The only field required from the system perspective, is the Client and this can not be turned off to display.
Any field marked with an asterick is a required field (as set by the system or the System Administrator).
Sync to ERP
If it is an approved Contract and if the option to sync to the ERP is enabled, there will be a button to sync to the ERP system.
