Contract Insight Enterprise enables application administrators the ability to add custom SubTables to numerous tables and record types within Contract Insight. This enables users to add and track SubTable items in a column and row format. For example, let’s imagine that your organization tracks contracts for Construction Contractors. For each Construction Contract record, your organization requires a contract record with a SubTable for the Insurance Coverage related to the contract. By adding a custom SubTable, the system can both track the contract and track the related items (in this case, insurance coverage) to the contract.
To add (define) a SubTable (or new grid on a contract screen), log in as an Application Administrator.
Select Account Maintenance from the Manage/Setup menu.
Select Create New Table on the side menu
The Create New Table screen displays. Select the primary table from the drop down box seen below (this associates/links the new SubTable to the table selected).
Next, enter the new SubTable name and select Create Table.
Once the SubTable is created, the system will display a message indicating Table has been created.
To learn how to add fields to your new SubTable, see the Create and Manage Custom Fields Wiki page.
