Variables In Negotiation Documents

When creating a negotiation document, you can use placeholders called variables to represent textual entries in the document. The variables refer to pieces of information defined elsewhere in the document.

After the value of the referenced information is entered, users can see the variable substituted with that value in the Preview window as well as on the Review page. Using variables lets you to ensure that the document is current and that any necessary updates are made consistently throughout the entire document.

Example of Using Variables

For example, on a negotiation document cover page, the title and open and close dates could be specified as variables. Then at a later point during document creation, when the title and open/close dates are actually specified, the variable values on the cover page would be assigned. Also, if at a later date, the title, open or close dates are modified, the variable values are automatically updated.
