Third-party management

The new Party Library feature simplifies the process of creating and managing both internal and external parties you share documents with. Here’s how it works:

Add a new party

  1. Select the Party library on the Automations tab of the left-hand panel.
  2. Click the Add New Party button.
  3. Enter the party name and select whether the party is internal or external.
  4. Save the party.

Edit a party

  1. Click the checkbox next to the party you want to edit.
  2. Make the necessary changes.
  3. Click Save.

Delete a party

  1. Select the party you wish to delete.
  2. Click the Delete button.

In short, the Party Library helps you keep track of all your document collaborators, so you always know who’s involved with an agreement and how to contact them.

Custom document properties

With Custom Document Properties, you have more control than ever over the metadata attached to your documents. Six different property types enable you to create custom metadata like project names, company names, or data ranges, and easily sort contracts by these properties.
