Configure system properties and use cases for metadata extraction so that a contract manager can use AI to extract metadata from a contract and add the extracted information to the contract repository.
* **[Create use cases for contract metadata extraction](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/RPbRTczV1rgnLcxmr1V4DQ)**   
  Create a use case for contract metadata extraction to define the information that you want AI to detect in a document.
* **[Map a use case for contract metadata extraction](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/V4MWNklA4vxdw5cfCfiU4Q)**   
  Map a use case to specific tables, and define conditions to apply the use case for metadata extraction.
* **[Configure system properties for contract metadata extraction](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/n_b0JBS5KbxhYZB3gWNAvw)**   
  Configure system properties to specify whether the contract metadata extraction should be automatically initiated or manually.
* **[Enable notification for contract metadata extraction](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/einQ3LGd_4Y2uZ4II3GDOw)**   
  Enable the notification for contract metadata extraction to receive email notifications when metadata extraction is completed.
* **[Configure the URL for metadata extraction notifications](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/XYHT_8ZnoFe5oDMxTOILug)**   
  Configure an extension point to update the workspace URL in email notifications, so that users can navigate to the correct workspace and view the extracted metadata.
* **[Configure an extension point to add contract metadata](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/mrJohN23~YY8UyE3E6uvlA)**   
  Update the script in an extension point to specify fields in a related contract repository table where you want to add the extracted information for unmapped fields of a metadata extraction use case.
