# Reviewing Contract Requests

**COBBLESTONE SOFTWARE**

Contract Insight — User Guide

**Reviewing Contract Requests**

*09. End Users: Contract Requests › Contract Request Process › Reviewing Contract Requests*

**Note:** Each procedure in this guide begins at the Contract Insight homepage, so any section can be followed on its own. Custom fields are configurable, so the exact field list on a contract category record may vary between environments.

# 1. Overview

Review of a Contract Request is organized around the **Review Group** field, which is set when the request is created (and editable afterward like any other field). This is a required field on the **Add Request** wizard's Details step, presented as a searchable dropdown listing every configured **review group** in the environment (examples seen include **Administrators** and a large number of named test groups such as "1325 Group" and "25256 Group"), with an inline "Add new information in-line - Request" option for creating a new **review group** on the fly rather than leaving the form. Assigning a request to a **Review Group** determines who is responsible for evaluating it; the actual accept/reject decision is then recorded via the **Request status** widget's **Pending**/**Accepted**/**Rejected** quick-action buttons on the record. **Review group** membership itself (who belongs to which group) is configured elsewhere in the application's security/directory administration rather than on the request record.

# 2. Key Elements

- **Review Group** is a required field on every request, set at creation time via a searchable dropdown of all configured review groups and editable afterward.
- The **Review Group** dropdown supports adding a brand-new group inline, without leaving the **Add Request** form.
- Assigning a **Review Group** determines who is responsible for evaluating a **pending** request; the resulting decision is then captured via the **Request status** widget's **Pending**/**Accepted**/**Rejected** actions.
- **Review group** membership (which users belong to a given group) is managed in the application's broader security/directory administration, not on the individual request record.
- This environment includes both purpose-built groups (e.g. **Administrators**) and many ad hoc/test groups, reflecting how flexibly review groups can be defined.
