Specify the contract group's attributes

Once a contract group is in the repository, you can define more details about it in the Contract Groups data workbench.

data workbench

A data workbench is a data table that allows you to capture, edit, and understand large amounts of data.

Per default, the data workbench displays only a set of basic attributes. You can add more columns to capture other attributes directly in the data workbench via the Structure column. Click to learn about how to use data workbenches.

A content area is a view with a collection of tabbed pages. Each page may have multiple content items such as cards and views. Every asset has a content area where the asset's attributes can be defined as well as other relevant views to capture information.
