About Contract Expert Question Setup

You can set up Contract Expert questions in the Contract Terms Library to solicit contract author entries during contract authoring. Contract Expert presents the questions to authors when they are part of a Contract Expert rule.

The questions you create are restricted to one intent and their names must be unique within that intent. Questions can be reused across all business units.

Question Response Types

Question responses can be one of the following:

• Yes or no

  These questions appear to contract authors with a choice list with two values: Yes and No. This question type supplies the choice list automatically without additional setup.

• Numeric

  Contract authors enter responses to numeric questions directly using the keyboard.

• Selection from a list of values

  For questions that require users to make a selection from a list of values, you must set up a value set with the Char format type and one of the following validation types: Independent, Translatable Independent, or Table.

Note: Contract Expert does not permit you to provide default responses to user questions. However, the application sets numeric questions without a user response to 0.
