Contract templates can be set up at the group level for use within your group's external projects and applications. These templates can be modified at a project level to include project-only specific information. Changes to the contract at the project level will have no effect on the group template.
For example - your group may have set contract templates for particular delivery agents or business partners. There may be contracts with Government bodies, contracts with community organisations and contracts with landholders. These three types can be added as customisable templates for your group within Enquire. The templates include things such as signature blocks, layout, logos, terms and conditions, contract section order and cover page layout. When applications or projects are entered into Enquire and a contract required to be exported, the project can indicate which template it will use for layout i.e Landholder for the projects with landholders.
When you begin to create a template you will see the following page. We have detailed instructions below on how to populate each part of the template.
1. Log into Enquire. Select My Group from the drop down menu next to the Home button.
2. Select the Project Contract Tab and your current contract templates will be listed. To add a new Contract select Add Contract Type.
Note: The next page is quite large and might take a moment to load.
3. Enter a Name or label for the contract template.
4. Cover page.
The Cover Page can consist of a title, an image and a detail block.Only one image can be uploaded, if you have multiple images (for example multiple logos) collate them onto one jPeg and then upload them. The image can also be placed either above or below the Detail Block.
The Detail Block can be written manually and with dynamic Project Details that do not have to be entered manually for your contract. For example, by selecting Project Title, the Project Title will appear in that location on your Cover Page.
If you would like more expand any of the Detail Blocks to view them full screen select the Edit full screen button ( ) on the right hand side of the detail block.
You can also hover over the to show any Helpful Hints.
5. Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions consists of the following elements:
a) Header Block - type your header into the Header Block and click on the relevant text field on the tool bar to insert it into the Header Block. These text fields assist with text which are likely to change from one contract to the next, such as Agent Name and dates.
b) Body - Type your text into the Body. If you are cutting and pasting from MS Word we recommend you download the factsheet on using html in your template (PDF download) to assist in formatting.
c) Signature Block
d) Page Header and Footer
The Header and Footer works in similar ways to the other Detail Blocks. You can set in Page Numbers, Project ID's and more. Remember this is a template and can be altered at the Project Level.
6. Sections
The sections area is where you construct what other parts, such as schedules (you have already created Cover page, Terms and Conditions) you would like to display within the body of your contract and in what order.
You can add as many sections as you like to your contract. To do this scroll; to the bottom of the page and click the Add Section button.
Enter in a Title for the section, the page orientation for the section and details for page header and footer if required. Click Ok to save the section.
View the section under Current Contract Sections & Items. Once you have created a section, you then must indicate what Contract Items you would like to be included within the section. Drag and drop from the left hand side into the new section folder. See the table below titled Available Contract Items explained to find out more about what information is contained in each Item.
By scrolling to the right hand side of the Current Contract Sections and Items you can also use the Up and Down buttons to move your Items and Sections. You can edit or delete the sections at any time by double clicking on the relevant Section, and changing the content.
