Download Your Contracts and Data

This guide explains how to download all your contracts and associated data for offline access.

Steps:

  1. Access Settings: Navigate to the Settings section of the platform.

  2. Find Views, Reports & Downloads, then locate the section titled Reports and Downloads.

  3. Under Contracts, you will see three options to download.

  4. Choose what to Download: (1) All Contracts and Attachments Files, (2) All Contract Data, and (3) Related Document Data

    What each of the three options mean:

    • All Contracts and Attachments Files: This option downloads a compressed file (ZIP) containing all your contracts and accompanying attachment files.
    • All Contract Data (.CSV): This option downloads a file in Comma-Separated Values (.CSV) format containing all your contract data. This format allows easy import into spreadsheet software like Excel for further analysis.
    • Related Document Data: This option downloads a file in Comma-Separated Values (.CSV) format containing all your related document data. This format allows easy import into spreadsheet software like Excel for further analysis.

Additional Notes:

    Note: The download process is not instantaneous. An email will be sent to you once the zip file is ready.
