Configure contract types
Follow this guide to create consistent contract classifications for filtering and reporting. The guide then takes you through the correct route, the checks to complete before making changes, the workflow in order, and the evidence to review afterwards.
Where to goSetup → Contracts → Contract Types
Before you startThe screen or action may be hidden when your role lacks permission, the related module is inactive, or a required setting has not been configured. Ask an administrator to review access rather than using another person’s account.
What you’ll accomplish
Create consistent contract classifications for filtering and reporting. Britixo CRM keeps the result connected to the relevant customer, staff member and operational history where the feature supports those relationships. That connection is important for search, reporting, client portal visibility and future automation.
Follow these steps
- Go to Setup → Contracts → Contract Types using an administrator or appropriately permitted account.
- Check the current value and understand which users, records or automated processes it affects.
- Enter or select the new configuration values. Keep labels concise and use the approved business terminology.
- Where credentials, email, webhooks or cron are involved, begin with a test or sandbox configuration.
- Save the change and confirm that Britixo CRM reports success.
- Test the affected workflow with a non-critical record and with a restricted user where permissions are relevant.
- Document the operational change and use the available reset or rollback option if the result is not correct.

Checks before you finish
- Verify authorised signatories.
- Check dates and renewal terms.
- Do not clear a signature without an approved reason.
- Check whether the result should be visible to a customer contact or only to staff.
- Confirm the final status, activity entry, generated document or notification before leaving the record.
Permission and data safetyDeletion, refunds, signature clearing, module changes, payment configuration and privacy actions can affect linked records or legal history. Use the least destructive action available and follow your organisation’s approval process.
