How to review a contract


Why did I get a task to review a contract? 

The contract needs to be reviewed, and you have been assigned a task to complete in connection with this review.

What do I need to do?

Go to the  View contract component and preview the contract. Follow the instructions provided and complete any required changes. Click on 'Sign off task as complete', describe the action taken and add a new version if required. Alternatively, you can make a progress note and come back to finish the task later.

Learn how to do this in the Task management section below.
