The user attributes or commonly referred to as the user defined attributes are used to obtain and save additional information for a contract. To define a user attribute an attribute group needs to be created. For example, attribute groups defined as lines can be used to provide line details for a specific contract type.
The contracts workbench administrator can define attribute templates, attribute groups, functions, and value sets using the User Attributes Setup tab. A single or multiple attribute templates can be associated with a single contract type. Attribute groups are added to the attribute template.
By default all attribute groups can be updated in the Draft status of a contract. However, you can configure to update attribute groups in other statuses of a contract from the Contract Status column in the Attribute Group Associations page. You can edit the attribute group in any of the following status of a contract: Draft, Pending Approval, Approved, Pending Signature, Signed, Terminated, and Canceled.
Log in with the Contracts Workbench Administrator responsibility.
Navigate to the Contracts link and then access the User Attributes Setup.
From the User Attributes tab define attribute template, attribute groups, functions, and value sets.
Each attribute page that is created using the User Attribute Setup tab is displayed as a tab in the header region of a contract.
