Glossary

Admin. A workspace member who can open every settings section, including Audit Centre. Admins can always open a contract. The last active admin cannot be deactivated or removed.

Archive. Hides a contract, contract type, field, or team from new use. An archived contract comes back with Restore and Show archived. An archived team grants no access until it is restored.

Autofill. Suggestions read from a file in New contract. Nothing is saved until you choose Create contract.

Auto-renews. When this is Yes, a Live contract stays Live and the expiry date moves forward by the renewal term instead of becoming Expired.

Boolean. A custom field with the same Yes, No, Is empty, and Is not empty choices as Auto-renews.

Company code. The code an admin copies from Sign-in after saving a draft. It signs in a person already bound to an enabled OIDC provider. It does not create an account, and it does not say whether the code exists.

Company sign-in. Optional OIDC sign-in. An admin turns it on with Enable company sign-in after a passing test and a fresh verified domain. Password and email sign-in stay available. It is not required. A SAML draft does not sign anyone in.

Counterparty. The other party on a contract. The primary one supplies counterparty fields unless a contract overrides them.
