Adding a Document
The Phase Owner, Phase Mediator, Admin, and in-turn phase participants can upload a new version of any document under review within the workflow.
Choosing an Attachment
When adding a document in the Document Source Phase or Negotiation Phase, you can use one or more of the attachments as a contract document.
When choosing an attachment, you can select any attachment associated with the workflow.
To choose an attachment, click Choose Attachment.
Choosing a Template
When adding a document in the Document Source Phase or Negotiation Phase, you can choose a document template without having to perform an additional click to open a dialog.
When the Choose Template radio button is selected, the controls that were displayed in a dialog (Document Category, Document Template, Template Name) are available on the page.
Deleting a Document
Access to the Delete button on the in-app document editor and PDF viewer is limited to the following participants: Admins | Current Phase Owner | Current phase Mediator | In-turn Reviewers and Approvers
Admins, Phase Owners, and Phase Mediators always see the Delete button.
For in-turn Reviewers and Approvers:
The Delete button is only available to the user who added the document during the turn in which the document is first added.
Once the user submits their review or approval, they will be unable to delete the document in any subsequent turn.
No phase participant can delete a document that was uploaded by another user.
If a phase participant accidentally uploads the wrong document, they'll be able to quickly correct it during their turn.
Editing (Redlining) a Document
An Admin, Current Phase Owner, or Current Phase Mediator can edit or redline the document during review and approval after adding herself to the sequence as a Reviewer or Approver.
