In the contract builder page, we need to have fields for the client to enter data. It can be signature fields, text fields, date fields, or even checkboxes. Since we have uploaded a normal document, the clients cannot directly sign at the appropriate places.
We need to add fields for the clients to enter data into the contract. An important point to note here is that at least one data field is required for each signatory. Without this, automated contract sending will not work, as there are no fields for clients to enter data.
To get started with editing a contract, there are multiple options in the right sidebar. Let's understand them.
At the top of the right sidebar, you should see a red dot with the text Counsellor. This is your signatory. Clicking on this will open up a dropdown showing you the second signatory, the Client. Below this, you will see some blocks named text, signature, date, etc. These are your data fields. You can drag and drop them at the appropriate places in your contract for clients to enter data.
Once you add a data field for your signatory in the contract, it will appear below the signatory name in the right sidebar. Here, you can rename these fields to something of your choice, as well as add additional options related to each field. You also have the option to delete a data field from here. Please note that only the data fields of a particular signatory will be shown at a time in the right sidebar. To view the data fields of another signatory, select the required signatory from the dropdown at the top of this sidebar.
You do not need to save the contract after you are done editing. It is auto-saved after each action.
