On the next page we can check all items that have been created. This also contains a checklist we can follow.

About importing contracts: Due to the complexity of importing contracts and all the related objects, importing contracts is not included in the scope of the project. A separate time estimation is made for this. Default templates are available, however, manual work needs to be done to make sure contracts are configured correctly in Workplace. For example, uploading pdf documents and verifying the imported data.

  • The import file created in this module activation is the import for contracts, contract period schemes and items. To download the import template:

    • navigate to the “Relevant imports” include

    • Click Generate import template

    • Click the download icon next to the loop to download the template.

    • Send files to the client

  • Import files receives and approved

    • If relevant, check if contracts, contract items en period scheme objects are imported successfully. When the properties and areas are already imported when Initializing the environment these boxed can be checked directly.

    • Click Upload import file and upload the import file obtained from the customer.

If everything is handled we can close the rollout by clicking the close button, Contracts will now be shown as a NavigationMenu option.

Where do I find the settings I selected

General contract settings can be found in the client settings: press the ‘Module settings’ tile on your startBoard > 'Contract’ tab.
