The following applies when the Contract Source of a business document is Structured Terms.
You create variables and add them to clauses to generalize the clause text, and to make the clause text customizable.
The Update Variable Values page is where you specify values for variables, either by setting global values, or by setting specific local values for variables in clauses. Even if a global value has been set for a variable, you can choose to override the global value in specific clauses that use that variable.
The top part of the Update Variable Values page shows all the variables. When you select one of the variables, the clauses that contain that variable appear in the lower part of the page.
You must be in the Contract Terms page to start the process of updating the variable values.
Select the Update Variable Values option from the Actions list of values.
Click Go.
In the Update Variable Values page, you can perform one or more of the following operations for each variable:
Select the variable. The clauses that contain the selected variable appear in the Clauses section in the lower part of the page.
Click the Global Value search icon to set a global value for the variable.
For each clause that uses that variable, click the Value search icon to set a specific value for the variable in that clause.
To ensure that a specific value for a variable in a clause overrides any global value for that variable, select the Override Global Value check box for the clause.
Update Multirow Variables will launch a new page where you enter the values. The items or attributes displayed correspond to the User Defined Attributes setup for this particular variable definition.
