Agreement Builder

The Agreement builder lets you type the Agreement Title and Agreement text, you can add as much text as required, some of our system customers have agreements that are over one hundred pages in length and the system can handle it no problem. Whatever the size of the agreement simply copy it into the agreement text box.

The “Agreement Text” input is a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editor, this allows you to format your agreements by changing font size, colour, making parts bold, italic. It is the same as using a word processor the same as the likes of Microsoft Word. You can make your agreements looks as fancy and professional as you like.

Once you have added the title and agreement body you then choose what section the agreement is for you can push the agreement to your Clients, Employees or Administrators & Managers.

Agents – Breakdown the agreements by sectors and also employment type. You break your agreements for employees down into any variation of sector and employment e.g you could have a seperate agreement for Internal Private Investigator Employees and a seperate agreement for Self Employed Private Investigators. Depending on their application form and profile information such as sectors and employment type will determine what agreements they will be required to sign.

Clients – When you select the agreement to be signed by the clients, the options appeaer for you to breakdown the agreements by client type. So you can have a seperate agreements for your Private Clients than your Commercial clients. Selecting “All” from the list, will require both Private and Commercial clients to sign the same agreement.

Ordering – You can order the agreements in any order you like for instance if you require them to sign your NDA before any other agreement you can set the NDA to Order no 1 and the following agreements in sequence after. You can also group agreements into order, so you could have two items on order 1 and two items on order 2. The system will first sort the agreements by the order column and then sort by the date the agreement was added into the system.

Shortcodes

Shortcodes allow you to pre populate your agreements with the users profile and system fields to automatically generate a custom agreement for each user. It works in exactly the same way as mail merge, if you have ever used mail merge. If you have worked with WordPress websites you will be familiar with Shortcodes.
