Manage Numbering Schemes

Use a numbering scheme to number sections and clauses in a contract terms template or contract. In addition to the numbering schemes that come with the application, you can create more numbering schemes in the Terms Library work area.

Numbering Scheme Properties

Numbering schemes have the following properties:

• Numbering schemes are available in all business units.

• You can create numbering schemes up to five levels.

• Numbering clauses is optional.

• You can add the numbering of the previous level as the suffix of the current level by selecting the Concatenate with Child option.

• You can skip the numbering of specific sections and clauses for printing and display of contract terms by selecting the Skip Numbering printing option. This automatically moves up the numbering of subsections and clauses in the section and following sections and clauses in the contract.

• Edits you make to an existing numbering scheme in the Contract Terms Library do not automatically apply to all contracts using that numbering scheme. You must reapply the scheme to each contract.

• You cannot delete any of the numbering schemes that come with your application.

• You cannot delete a numbering scheme if it is used in an existing contract.
