Managing Contracts

Learn how to organize, search, edit, and delete your contracts in Renewly.

Organizing with Tags

Tags help you categorize and find contracts quickly:

  • Add tags: Click "Add Tag" in contract details
  • Suggested uses: Vendor names, departments, contract types
  • Multiple tags: Add as many tags as needed per contract
  • Filter by tag: Click a tag to see all contracts with that tag

Tag Best Practices

  • Use consistent naming (e.g., "SaaS" not "saas" or "SAAS")
  • Keep tags simple and descriptive
  • Common tags: vendor name, contract type, department, priority

Searching Contracts

Find contracts quickly using the search bar at the top of the Contracts page.

What You Can Search

  • Party names: Search for vendors, clients, or contact names
  • Contract values: Search by dollar amounts
  • Dates: Search by expiration or effective dates
  • Tags: Find contracts by tag name
  • File names: Search by original uploaded file name

Search Features

  • Live results: Results appear as you type (debounced for performance)
  • Results counter: See how many contracts match your search
  • Search across all fields: Searches party names, values, dates, tags simultaneously
  • Case-insensitive: "acme" matches "Acme" and "ACME"

Search Tips

  • Use specific terms for better results
  • Try vendor names, dollar amounts, or date patterns
  • Combine with filters for powerful queries
  • Clear search by clicking the X icon or pressing Escape

Advanced Filtering

Renewly provides powerful filtering to find exactly the contracts you need. Use multiple filters in combination to narrow results.

Filter Categories

Status Filter

  • Active: Contracts currently in effect
  • Expiring Soon: Contracts expiring within 30 days
  • Expired: Contracts past their expiration date
  • All: View all contracts regardless of status

Risk Level Filter

  • Low: Minor concerns or standard clauses
  • Medium: Moderate concerns requiring review
  • High: Significant issues requiring immediate attention

Auto-Renewal Filter

  • Auto-Renews: Contracts with automatic renewal clauses
  • Manual: Contracts requiring manual renewal
  • All: View all contracts regardless of renewal type

Contracts that auto-renew have a notice deadline — the last date you can cancel or renegotiate before being locked into another term. Use this filter to quickly identify which contracts need proactive attention before their notice deadlines pass.

For details on how notice deadlines are calculated and what severity levels mean, see Auto-Renewal Traps.

Date Range Filter

  • Custom Range: Choose specific start and end dates
  • Last 30 Days: Contracts expiring in the past month
  • Last 90 Days: Contracts expiring in the past quarter
  • Next 30 Days: Contracts expiring in the next month
  • Next 90 Days: Contracts expiring in the next quarter

Value Range Filter

  • Filter contracts by minimum and maximum dollar value
  • Useful for focusing on high-value renewals or budget planning
  • Enter values in USD format

Requires Review Filter

  • Contracts flagged for manual review
  • Typically contracts with low confidence scores or unusual terms
  • Review these contracts to ensure accuracy

Using Multiple Filters

Combine filters to narrow results and find specific contracts:

  • Example: "High Risk" + "Expiring Soon" shows urgent contracts
  • Active filters display as chips above the contract list
  • Click "Clear Filters" to reset all filters at once
  • Search works in combination with filters for precise results

Pro Tip

Your filter preferences persist during your session. Use browser bookmarks to save specific filter combinations for quick access.

Viewing Contract Details

Click any contract to view:

  • All extracted data fields
  • Original uploaded file (download option)
  • Tags and metadata
  • Confidence score
  • Risk analysis

Understanding Status Badges

Each contract displays visual badges to help you quickly identify important information at a glance.

Expiration Status Badges

Color-coded badges with clock icons show expiration urgency:

  • Red Badge: Contract is expired
  • Amber Badge: Contract expiring within 30 days (urgent action required)
  • Gray Badge: Contract expiration is 30+ days away

Status Indicators

Additional badges provide quick context:

  • Active: Contract is currently in effect
  • Expiring Soon: Less than 30 days until expiration
  • Expired: Past the expiration date
  • Auto-Renewal: Contract will automatically renew
  • Requires Review: Flagged for manual attention (typically low confidence or unusual terms)

Why This Matters

Visual badges let you scan your contract list quickly without reading dates. Focus on red and amber badges to prioritize urgent renewals.
