Key features:  With this app, you can do the following:   Use the wizard for creating a legal contract request.    Add additional custom fields to suit your specific business needs. The custom fields defined by using the extensibility functionality appear in this application. Additionally, you can add more custom fields by using the Adapt UI functionality.   Implement the field control for the custom fields. The following are the field control values – Mandatory, Optional, Read-only, and Hidden. To implement these field control values, you can use the custom logic Set Field Control for Legal Transaction Header Custom Fields. For more information about extensibility, refer to App Extensibility: Manage Legal Transaction.When you open the app, the wizard for creating a legal contract request opens and guides you through the following steps:  In the first step, you enter the basic data for the legal contract. The title you enter for the legal contract request is also used for the legal transaction that is created from it. A value help supports you in searching the context that applies to the legal transaction. Using the fuzzy search, you can add a '#' followed by the text of the context description, to easily search for the context. The context defines a particular business scenario or circumstance for your legal content and predefines what information should and must be provided in the request. Select the governing law for a legal contract. The system of law according to which a contract is to be construed or interpreted is called the Governing Law. This provision in a contract allows the parties to agree that the law of a state should be used to interpret the agreement, even if they live in or the agreement is signed in a different state. Note By default, the governing law selected in the Manage Contexts application is displayed in this application. However, you can select a different governing law for the content in this application. Select a language for the contract. By default, the language selected in the Manage Contexts application is displayed in this application. However, you can select a different language for the legal transaction.  Select a language for the legal document. It is mandatory to select a language for the document, while uploading a file. Note By default, the language of the document selected in Manage Contexts application is displayed in the Document facet of this application. However, you can change the language of the legal document while uploading a file.   In the second step, you enter the categories that classify your legal transaction. Categories are tags to classify legal transactions. They are organized in a tree structure. The context already provides specific categories or paths were you need to add the leaf categories. You can select additional categories via the value help.   In the third step, you add the parties that are involved in the legal transaction process. Parties can be entities, such as customer, supplier, or business partner; internal contacts such as Transaction Manager or Legal Counsel; and external contacts such as Main Contact, Signer, and Legal Contact. If the selected context predefines parties, the respective tables are prefilled. You can add additional parties, or remove existing parties unless they are marked as Required or Main Entity. Required parties and main entities must not be removed. Additional parties can be added. For parties of the same type, the rank provides a means of distinguishing the importance or priority of the two contexts.   In the fourth step, you add the relationships that are relevant for the legal transaction. You can also select the required linked objects to add relationships to the legal transactions. The relationships define the legal transactions that are related to the legal contract in your request. If you request a non-disclosure agreement, for example, you can add a relationship to the legal transaction dealing with the respective master agreement. Note Depending on the context that you assign in the first step, the overall number of steps can deviate. For example, if no relationships are predefined in the context, step 4 will not be shown in the wizard. However, you can still add relationships to the legal transaction that is created from this request.   In the fifth step, you add the dates that are relevant for the legal transaction. Dates can be, for example, the start and end date or the renewal date.  In the sixth step, you select documents and upload or remove file attachments.The Documents tab appears and you will be able to perform this step provided the documents have been maintained while creating a legal context.Note You will be able to upload more documents if you have selected the Required option for at least one document, while creating a legal context.Through the integration of Enterprise Contract Management and Enterprise Contract Assembly, you can create a virtual document by choosing a template. You can select the required legal transaction attributes and send it to the assembly system to assemble a virtual document. For steps on how to create from template, go to Creating from Template   Get an overview of the request form for review After you have entered the required information, choose Review to review your legal contract request. You can choose Edit to make changes, if necessary.   Submit the request and a legal transaction based on the request will be created automatically When you choose Submit, a legal transaction is created based on your request and shows up in the worklist of the Manage Legal Transactions app.   In addition, the app supports the following technical features and options:    Value helps for contexts, categories, entities, internal and external contacts
