As a contract configurator, create or modify clauses that manage clause variations that are mapped to contract templates.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_cm_core.contract_config

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllContracts CoreContracts AdministrationClause Management.
2. Choose whether you are creating a new clause or modifying an existing clause.
   * To create a clause, select New.
   * To modify an existing clause, open a clause from the list.

3. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   {#cncore-create-clause-library__table_qfw_c4s_ypb__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Number | This field is automatically populated with a unique number. |
   | Name | Unique name for the clause. |
   | Contract Type | Type of contract for which you want to associate the clause. Note: Only active contract types are displayed in the list. |
   | Table | Table to which you want to associate the clause. Note: The Contract Request table \[sn_cm_core_contract_request\] is selected by default to centralize the configuration on a single table and improve reusability across product lines. You can choose to configure the clause library on a different table. Example: If you select Legal Contract Request table, the clause will appear only for the templates associated to that table. |
   | Description | Information about the clause. |
   | Application | Application to which the clause belongs. This field is automatically set to the application scope in which you're creating the clause. |
   | Active | Option to make the clause active and available for use. Note: While editing an existing clause, you can't set the clause as inactive if an active clause variation is present. |
