Simple and flexible contract lifecycle management

Overview

Contract Manager is Sharepoint hosted contract lifecycle management software that enables an organization to streamline contract management and track subscription renewals.

Contract Workflow

The Contract Manager workflow contains six states: Draft, Pending Approval, Approved, Rejected, Activated, Terminated
Please see below step by step guide to completing the contract process.



1. A user creates a new contract request form.
2. The user submits the contract for approval ("Send to approve" button).
3. Before request is approved by an approver, the user can make changes to the contract form.
4. The approver(s) receives an email notification of the request.
5. The approver(s) approves or declines the approval request.
6. The user receives an email notification of contract status (approved or rejected).
7. If the approver(s) approves the contract, the contract owner or contract manager activates contract
8. Contract owner receives email notification for contract expiration (End Date field)
9. Contract owner or contract manager may terminate or extend contract (change End Date field)

Integrations

When you enable integration module, requests are automatically exported to native SharePoint list, enabling to leverage the full potential of SharePoint. Sharepoint list can be integrated with many systems by using Power Automate (previously MS Flow), used as data source for Power BI (reporting services) or displayed on different site via Web Part.

  • How to assign regular User role?

    There is no need to assign regular User role, because this role is given by default - every user with access to the SharePoint parent site (where the app is installed) also has access to this app as regular user.

  • How to update SharePoint app?

    App update process is described here and also on our Technical FAQ, question "How to update SharePoint app?"

  • I cannot find a user in drop-down list

    User list is pulled from SharePoint User Information List (built-in SharePoint feature, here is more info)
    SharePoint user is added to the User Information List after first login to the SharePoint Site.
    After first login, user will be visible in the user's drop-down list.

  • How can I extend my trial period?

    We cannot extend trial period remotely, because app is SharePoint-hosted and our company doesn't have access to the customer's SharePoint env., however you can uninstall an app and install it again to "reset" 14-day period. (this operation removes all app data and configuration).
