Understand the purpose of fields

Smart fields allow you to:

  • Structure the summary sheet,

  • Facilitate searches and exports via filtered views,

  • Trigger automations,

  • Simplify contract completion.

👉 To create a smart field, see: Create a smart field.


Identify field types

There are different types of smart fields, each with a specific format.

A field’s format is defined when it is created by an administrator.


Text

Free field that can contain any alphanumeric characters and symbols.


Number

Field that accepts numbers only (integers or decimals).

No other symbols or characters are allowed.


Date

Field used to enter a date in the format DD/MM/YYYY.

Useful for triggering automatic reminders or creating calendar events.


File

This field requires users to upload an attached file.


Rich text

Text field that allows line breaks and formatting (bold, italic, etc.).

Rich text fields cannot be used to create a filtered view.


Use selectors

Selector fields allow you to provide a predefined list of options when completing a contract.

Choose the selector type

  • Single-choice selector

Allows the selection of only one option from a dropdown list.

  • Multiple-choice selector

Allows the selection of one or several options.

⚠️ You can convert a single-choice selector into a multiple-choice selector.
The reverse is not possible.


Add options

Options can be:

  • Added manually by clicking Add an option

  • Imported in bulk via an Excel file by clicking Import from Excel

If you re-import a file, new options are added without deleting existing ones.


Manage options

Edit an option

Any modification automatically applies to:

  • All templates

  • All summary sheets

Exception: already signed PDFs are not modified.

Translate options

Options must be translated manually in each language.

Translating the field only translates its name, not the options.

Reorder options

You can change the display order of fields in your templates and summary sheets.

Delete an option (deprecated status)

The option:

  • Disappears from templates and dropdown lists

  • Remains visible in signed contracts with the label “deleted

  • Remains available in existing filters
