Contract Connect: Menu bar, field editing and In-Form

Hi all,

We're just about to update the Contract Connect service, here's what's new:


Updated interface on contracts and templates

We've introduced a new way of accessing all the information in your contracts, use the menu bar to access all the document groups easily.

Editing of fields from Templates and Document Groups

Previously, when setting up fields on Contract Connect, once you had made your selections it was very difficult to change simple things about a field, things like the description or the default value. Now, clicking on the padlock against a field in Template or Document group will allow you to adjust these.

Events have been improved

The history of a contract will now be more detailed and include more useful information.

Searching is now faster and returns more relevant results

Find what you were looking for faster - what's not to like about that?

Overview thumbnail

With the menu bar, each contract now includes an overview of the entire contract. The thumbnail that you find here is now an easy way to review all of the contents of a contract in one easy document.

In-form : click. done.

Working with some of our partners, we found that they still had a lot of pain filling out paper forms. They just couldn't find a efficient way of completing them, could we help? We found that we could, and the result is an extremely exciting new service that we'll be lunching shortly called "In-form." It makes filling out forms easy- click. done.

We're sure you'll find the changes useful. If you have any comments or feedback, be sure to let us know, either below or at any of our email address' (info@affirmsoftware.com.au.)

Contract Connect is now even more powerful

Dear Contract Connect community,

We just wanted to take a minute or two to let you know about a few major features that we've just added to Contract Connect.

As you can see, we've been busy. Here's what's new:

New look and navigation layout
Contract Connect now has an updated look with tabs to navigate through the system, we think that you'll find it much cleaner and easier to use.

Document Groups
Document groups are a new level of organisation and flexibility for your contracts. With document groups, you can now share different documents, to different parties, from the same contract and information. For example, you could have a purchase order to your supplier and a tax invoice to your customer, both from the same order. Business is about your transactions and sales, Contract Connect now lets you organise your documents that way too.

Document Loops
Document Loops allow you to repeat almost any section of a Word document. You get the flexibility of typing into a Word processor, with all the power of Contract Connect. Good examples are where you create an invoice and you use document looping to add one or more line items or where you might want to add references to a finance loan application. Now, if you've got 1 or even 10 items, its not a problem.

Fields in PDF documents
If you have access to Adobe's Acrobat software you can now use Contract Connect to dynamically create unique documentation from PDF files. By having fields within your PDF files which are uploaded to Contract Connect, Contract Connect will now automatically insert the value of your fields into the document, just like it does with Word documents. You can also use PDF documents to create contract templates as well, allowing the most detailed and intricate graphic designs to be included in your documents that you share with your customers.

Instructional videos
Getting new users on board and using Contract Connect is about to be even easier and faster than before with clear and easy to follow instructional videos explaining how to using many aspects of Contract Connect.

Download My Content
Contained in a simple compressed file, available from the "Settings" tab, Download My Content allows an extra level of flexibility and peace of mind that documents are available when working offline.

There's also lots more minor changes that are too numerous to mention here, but if you've got any questions about the above, or Contract Connect, head to our support page at www.contractconnect.com/software-support.
