Use smart fields in contracts

Get to know smart fields and how they can help you rapidly create contracts.

Updated yesterday

Rather than manually typing in project- or client-specific details over and over (which can lead to information falling through the cracks), use smart fields in your contracts. Smart fields can be used to automatically pull in project details, or request or enter information, in your contracts. You can set smart fields up to:

  • Automatically pull:

    • Info from project details fields, such as relevant dates, locations, client contact info, and more

    • Answers from questions you ask in your file at some point before the contract

    • Session-related details, such as the meeting date, time, location, and name

  • Request (or require) clients to fill out fields before they’re able to sign

  • Remind you to fill out certain client or project information before sending


Add a smart field to a contract

You can add a smart field to a contract one of two ways:

Use your cursor

  1. When building a contract, use your cursor to select where you want the smart field to go

  2. In the settings sidebar next to Field, click Add

  3. Select the field content type

    • A smart field pulls in project details, like client names or budgets

    • An input field is a field that the client must fill out

      • For an input field, you can enter placeholder text to prompt your client (ex: birth date)

Highlight text

  1. When building a contract, highlight the text you'd like to create a smart field from

  2. In the text editor bar, click the three-dot icon

  3. Select Add smart field

  4. Select the field content type

    • A smart field pulls in project details, like client names or budgets

    • An input field is a field that the client must fill out

      • For an input field, you can enter placeholder text to prompt your client (ex: birth date)
