Drafting Options within Word
ThoughtRiver allows users to see Drafting options they may want to include in a contract they are negotiating. Drafting options relate to the risks identified by ThoughtRiver.
What is a Drafting Option?
A Drafting option is a piece of legal text associated with one or more Lexible Properties and one or more Risk Policies. Drafting options help users quickly add text to a contract they are reviewing.
Where Can I See Drafting Options?
Drafting options are available on both the ThoughtRiver web app and Word Add-In when reviewing a contract.
- ThoughtRiver completes its review of your contract, makes predictions, and generates issues based on your Policy.
- When you click on an issue, the issues panel opens, and you will see the Drafting options tab on the right.
- Where there are multiple Drafting options, you can select your preferred one.
- The selected option will display in the 'Drafting options' column in the Contract Report.
- The Drafting options column will appear automatically in the Checklist view on the Contract Report but can also be added in other views using the 'Edit columns' button.
- Click on the Drafting options text to:
- Open a panel to view, copy, or select alternative Drafting options for that Lexible Property within that Policy.
- Note: Any amendments to Drafting options will not be saved but can be copied.
