# 3.1 Contract and Committal Content

### **Contract & Committal Content**

**Vendor/Client Gateway: Contract & Committal Content**

For a Contract Record's details to be displayed on the **Vendor Client Gateway** or **Public Portal**, the Contract Record's **Collaboration Type** field must be set.

**Note:** if a Contract is set to **Gateway** or **Public**, only the fields selected to be displayed are shown. Please see the [**Contract & Committal Fields**](https://wiki.cobblestonesoftware.com/docs/21-contract-and-committal-fields) Wiki page for more information about selecting fields from the Contract Details screen to be displayed on the Gateway.

**Contract Details** 1. Navigate to the **Contract Details** screen that you would like to manage the Collaboration Type for.

2. The three options for the Contract's **Collaboration Type** are:

- **Internal**: Only users within your organization will be allowed to view the Contract Details.
- **Public**: Vendors/Clients will be able to view the Contract Details for this Contract record without being prompted to login to the Gateway (authenticated) portion.
- **Gateway**:  Vendors/Clients will need to sign-up and/or log in to the Gateway in order to view the details of this Contract Record.

4. Select the new value from the drop-down and click **Save Record** to update the value of the field. **Contract Attachments** For a Contract Record's files/attachments to be displayed on either the public portion or the gateway portion of the **Vendor/Client Gateway**, for each File/Attachment, when it is added/uploaded to the Contract, select the **Collaboration Type** from the drop down provided.

**Note:** this field cannot be edited for a Contract Attachment. To change the collaboration type for a contract attachment, the attachment must be deleted and then uploaded with the correct collaboration type selected.

**Contract Notes** For a note in the Contract Details' Notes Repository to be displayed on either the public portion or the gateway portion of the **Vendor/Client Gateway**, the note's collaboration type should be selected according to the desired viewing state.
