VISDOM+ Add Screen

VISDOM+ › VISDOM+ Add Screen

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

The Create with VISDOM screen is the VISDOM+ entry point for adding a record from a document. After a file is dropped or browsed in (the same Drop a document control appears in the top navigation bar throughout the application), a feature-selection modal presents the available VISDOM+ capabilities in three groups: EXTRACTION (Field extractions), CLAUSES (Clause extraction, Clause sentiment, High risk findings), and STANDALONE TOOLS (Possible system additions, Obligations, GSA clauses). Whichever capabilities are checked run against the uploaded document before the new record is created, so the same Add screen can be used for a quick field-only extraction or a fuller clause-and-risk analysis depending on what is selected.

2. Key Elements

  • Create with VISDOM / Drop a document is the entry point for adding a record from an uploaded file using VISDOM+.
  • Record Type sets what kind of record is created: Contract, Request, Solicitation, Purchase Order, Vendor / Customer, or Employee.
  • Type can be left as Let VISDOM choose the type; VISDOM reads the type from the document, and you can change it during review.
  • The VISDOM Tools feature-selection modal groups capabilities as EXTRACTION, CLAUSES, and STANDALONE TOOLS. Field extractions always run.
  • Only the checked capabilities run against the document before the new record is created, letting the same screen scale from a quick extraction to a full analysis.
  • Documents can be PDF or Word files up to 30 MB.

3. Opening Create with VISDOM

  1. From the Contract Insight homepage, click the Create with VISDOM (sparkle) icon at the top of the left navigation bar. You can also use Drop a document in the top navigation bar from any page.
