Contract Searches

Searching within the Contracts table will allow users to find all contracts they are part of, either as a requester, approver, or part of a team associated with the contract record.

The search toolbar will attempt to auto-fill the selection field with phrases it recognizes, or were previously searched on.

The system will then refresh showing all results it was able to find.

Saved Searches
