The contracts list can be filtered for a few different reasons.
One is to narrow your results by using criteria to find specific records.
Another is to give you a count of contracts, based on your selected
criteria.
As an example, if you wanted to know how many contracts are currently in
negotiation, you could select "In Negotiation" from the Contract Status drop-down list. Click
the "Filter List" button and you will see only the contracts with the
status code "In Negotiation". You will see the total records label above the list has changed and gives you a
total count of all contracts in negotiation. You can choose as few or as many
criteria as you need.
To get started, select My Organization > Our Contracts - from the main menu on the left hand side.
This will display your list of contracts. To filter the list, click the "Filter List"
button.
The Filter List panel
will open above the contracts list...
Choose criteria to filter the list. Use as many of the filters as
you need, you can choose one or many items depending on how you would like to
narrow your results. Contracts can be filtered by:
- Contract Status
- Contract Type
- Contract Category
- Department
- Team Member/Representative
- Second Party Constituent
- Date Type
- Start Date
- End Date
Click the "Filter List" button and the list will display only the
contracts that meet the selected criteria.
