How to Create a Contract
Contracts help you manage legal agreements with your clients. Here's how to create one:
Step 1: Navigate to Contract Creation
Click "Contracts" in the navigation menu, then click "Create Contract", or visit /contracts/create.
Step 2: Select Project (Optional)
If creating from a project page, the project will be pre-selected. Otherwise, choose a project from the dropdown. This helps link the contract to specific work.
Step 3: Enter Contract Details
Fill in the contract information:

- Description: Brief description of the contract
- Contract Type: Type of contract (e.g., Service Agreement, NDA, etc.)
- Status: Set initial status (usually "Draft")
- Expiry Date: When the contract expires (optional)
- Notes: Additional notes or terms
Step 4: Upload Contract File
Upload the contract document:
- Click "Choose File" to select a PDF or document
- Supported formats: PDF, DOC, DOCX
- File will be stored securely and accessible through the portal
Step 5: Create Contract
Click "Create Contract" to save. A contract number will be automatically generated.
After Creation
Once created, you can:
- Share the contract with the client
- Track contract status
- View when it was shared and acknowledged

💡 Tip:
Contracts are automatically linked to the selected project and client. This helps keep all project-related documents organized.
