Create a smart field

How to create and edit smart fields in Tomorro?

Updated this week

Feature available to administrators only.


Define a smart field

A smart field is a variable inserted into a template or used in a contract.

It allows you to:

  • Structure contract information

  • Populate the summary sheet

  • Trigger automations

👉 To understand the available formats, see: The different types of smart fields.


Create a smart field

Smart fields complement the native fields already provided by Tomorro.

Access a creation point

A smart field can be created from:

  • Dynamic components

  • The editor of a template or a contract

  • The automations of a contract type

  • The summary sheet of a contract type or a contract

Create a new smart field

Click “+ New smart field”.

A side panel opens where you can configure the field.


Configure the settings

  • Field Name: This name will be visible during form filling, both in the summary sheet and in the document template.

  • Field Type: Select from the available types (text, number, date, dropdowns, etc.)

⚠️ The field type cannot be changed after creation if the field is already used.

  • Linked data: choose where the field information will be stored.

    • Linked to the contract: the value will be stored only in the relevant contract.

    • Linked to the counterparty: the value will be stored on the counterparty profile and reusable across all their contracts.

  • Help text (optional): you can add an explanatory message that will be displayed when filling in the field, to guide the user.

  • AI guideline: you can add an explanatory message to guide the AI and improve its relevance.


Edit an existing smart field

  • Open the relevant smart field.

  • Update the information in the side panel.

  • Click Save.

The field type cannot be modified once the field is created, unless it has not been used in a contract.

If needed, delete the field and create a new one.


Translate a smart field

To translate a smart field, refer to the dedicated article.


Save the smart field

Once all information is completed, click “Save this field” in the bottom-right corner.


Delete a smart field

  • Click on Actions, then select Delete field.

  • If the field is used in one or more contract types, it will be permanently deleted from all contract types and all existing contracts.

  • A written confirmation will be required before deletion.

If the field is used in a condition (dynamic rule), it cannot be deleted. It must first be removed from the relevant conditions.
