APPLICATION OPTIONS

Contract Versioning Options

  • Latest – (Default) Will turn off the ability to choose the active version of a contract. When selecting a contract record, the system will always navigate to the latest version of the record. Users should use this setting when working with Executed contracts. Any Alerts and Auto Workflows will continue to operate against the latest version of the contract.

  • Active – Will allow Users to select the Active version of a contract. When selecting a contract record, the system will navigate to the active version of the contract. This allows Users to work on an amendment or change dates without impacting Alerts and Auto Workflows which will continue to operate against the Active and above versions of the contract. See Help topic Make Active Version for more details.

  • Exact – Will allow Users to see all the versions of a contract (all versions under the same contract ID) within the contract grid.
