Define the Contract Info

To create a new Contract, go to Design → Contracts and click the New button to open the New Contract window.

As you can see on the left of the window, the wizard guides you through 3 subsequent steps:

• INFO

• ACTOR

• ACTIONS

When you select a Mediation contract, only the INFO and ACTIONS steps will appear.

Let's now create an Input Contract.

These are the fields that you must fill in in the INFO section:

• Name: assign an identification name to the Contract. It is suggested to assign a name that can be easily identified at any time.

• Description: Enter a description of the contract you are creating.

• Contract Type: In the drop-down list, select Input.

• Execution Queue: By default, a Contract is associated with the Default Queue. Queues order the tasks designed in the Contract and define how they must be processed. To assign a Contract to a different queue, open the drop-down menu and select another queue among those available. Details about queues can be found in the Job Queues section of this documentation.

After you have filled in all the fields, click the CONTINUE button.
