Managing contracts 🚀

The list of all contracts is available by going to Design → Contracts.

The Contracts main page is made up of different sections.

Filters panel

In the Filters panel on the right, these fields are available:

• Contract name: enter the name of the contract or part of the name. The field is case insensitive, wildcard characters and Boolean operators are not supported.

• Contract status: select Enabled or Disabled.

• Contract type: select Input, Mediation, or Output.

• Actor: select the actor to which the contract is assigned.

• Workflow: select the workflow action associated with the contract.

• Trigger: select the type of trigger firing the contract.

• Dates: select the date when the contract was created, modified, or both.

An Advanced filter section is also available in the Filters panel allowing you to filter contracts by:

• VFS: select a specific VFS to see only contracts where that VFS is configured.

• Virtual Path: once you have selected the VFS, the virtual paths of the selected VFS are listed and you can filter contracts to see only those that have that specific virtual path.

• Queue: select a specific queue to see only contracts where that queue is configured.

• Cluster: select a specific cluster to see only contracts where that cluster is configured.

• Virtual Box: select a specific virtual box to see only contracts where that virtual box is configured.

Results list

Existing contracts will appear in the Results list according to the criteria selected and can be sorted by:

• Date when the contract has been modified

• Contract name: A-Z - alphabetical order

• Contract name: Z-A - reverse alphabetical order

• Actor name: A-Z - alphabetical order

• Actor name: Z-A - reverse alphabetical order

To sort contracts, click the icon next to the Modified, Contract, or Actor wording at the top of the result list.

🚀 A Contract status can be set to ENABLED or to DISABLED. To quickly change the status of a contract, click the 3-dot button and select the Enable contract or Disable contract menu according to your needs. To enable or disable multiple contracts in one go, select the contracts by checking the box on the left of the row and click the Change Status option at the top of the list. If you select a contract that is already in the destination status, a warning message will appear. To change the status, you can also edit the contract and use the toggle button in the panel on the right of the Edit contract page. Note that ENABLED contracts cannot be set to DISABLED if they are associated with an active FEL.

The third panel is the Actions section, with the list of actions associated with the Contract.
