High-level Overview
Enterprise Contract Assembly helps you to create templates for different types of legal documents, such as, amendments, master contracts, NDAs, and so on. You can choose different properties such as governing laws, languages and validity periods for various templates, as per your requirements.
After creating a template with the basic properties, next step is to create the text blocks that will be used in the template. A text block is the basic building block of any template. A text block is a passage of text with a specific meaning. Templates consist of combinations of text blocks and their variants. A text block passes through various statuses from the initial draft status until it is approved and released for using in the templates.
Once you have the template and necessary text blocks, you can add the text blocks to the template in the required order and send the template for approval. Similar to a text block, a template also goes through various statuses, from draft status until it is approved and released. Released templates are the ones that can be used to generate documents.
You can easily manage different versions of templates and text blocks.
The Enterprise Contract Assembly apps provide an easy to use user-interface, helpful UI texts, comprehensive error handling mechanism, and in-app help. This guides you through the entire process of managing templates and text blocks.
