For AI agents: a documentation index is available at https://docs.coverbase.com/llms.txt. This page is also available in markdown by appending .md to the URL.
This guide is part of the User Guides collection. It covers the screens you work in every day. For what Coverbase reads each document into, see the Contract components guide. For running clause reviews, see the Contract Guardian guide. For the dates behind reminders, see Contract dates and reminders.
The contracts module has two screens: the list page, where you see the whole portfolio at once, and the contract record, where you work one agreement. This guide covers what each part shows and what you can change.

​
The contracts list page

Contracts list page with key statistics, renewal runway, and contract table

The contracts list page: key statistics, the renewal runway, and the contract table.

Three sections stack down the page. Read them top to bottom: the numbers, then the calendar, then the list.

​
Key statistics

Key statistics row showing portfolio value and four attention queues

Portfolio value and the four attention queues. Hover a card for what it counts.

Five cards sit in one row. The first is portfolio value. The other four are queues that need someone to act. Hover a card to see what it counts and why it matters. The card does not expand or move, so you can hover and then click without chasing it. Click any of the four queue cards to filter the table below to exactly those contracts. Click it again to clear the filter.
Portfolio value counts one currency. Contracts in other currencies are excluded unless your organization has pinned exchange rates. Hover the card to see which currencies were left out and how many contracts that covers.

​
Renewal runway

Renewal runway band with contract chips placed on expiry dates

The renewal runway. Each contract sits on its expiry date, with expired contracts in the lane above.

The runway is a twelve month calendar of what expires when. Each contract sits on its expiry date, which is the date most people recognize when they talk about a renewal. Three lanes carry different things:
  • The band holds contracts expiring inside the next twelve months, placed on the month they expire.
  • The row above the band holds contracts that have already expired.
  • The line below the band counts perpetual agreements, which have no expiry date and so cannot be placed.
Hover a chip to see the contract name, its expiry date, its notice deadline, the relationship owner if one is assigned, and where the decision stands. Click a chip to open the contract. The dot on each chip shows how ready that renewal is:
The notice deadline is the last day you can act, and it always comes before the expiry date. The runway places contracts on expiry because that is the date people search for, and carries the notice date in the hover so you still see the real deadline.

​
Hide or restore the runway

The runway takes vertical space. One control changes that, and it remembers your choice in this browser.
1

Hide it

Hover the runway and click the X in its top-right corner. The whole section disappears.
2

Bring it back

A Show renewal runway button appears on the header row, to the left of Actions. Click it and the runway returns.
These are your own view preferences, stored in your browser. They do not change anything for your colleagues, and they do not touch the contracts.

​
The contract table

Below the runway is the full list, with sorting, filtering, and pagination. Columns marked AI hold values Coverbase extracted from the documents rather than values someone typed.

​
The contract record

Contract record showing details, summary, components, insights, and the right rail

A contract record. Facts on the left, relationships and dates on the right.

Open a contract from the table, the runway, or a search result. The Overview tab is laid out in two columns. The main column runs in the order you would brief someone:
  1. Details and Properties, the contract’s own facts
  2. Summary, the AI read of the agreement
  3. The document block: key documents, document family, contract components, and document insights
  4. Reviews
The right rail carries context rather than content:
  1. Vendor
  2. Lifecycle
  3. Contract timeline
  4. Notifications
  5. Renewal notes
  6. Team

​
The details card

The details card shows one row per field that has an answer. A field the contract does not carry is not drawn, so the card stays short on a thin record and grows as extraction fills it in. Eight fields are available: description, contract value, payment terms, services, term start date, effective date, term end date, and auto renewal.
1

Add a field

Click the + in the card header and pick the field. It appears as an empty row you can type into. Only fields not already shown are offered.
2

Remove a field from view

Hover the row and click the X. The row disappears from this contract’s card.
3

See the yearly breakdown

Hover Contract value. An option to add a year-by-year breakdown appears next to it.
Removing a field hides it on that one contract, in your browser. It does not delete the value, does not affect other contracts, and does not change what anyone else sees. Add it back from the + menu at any time.

​
The documents tab

Documents tab showing the document table above the document summary block

The Documents tab: the document table, then key documents, the family tree, components, and insights.

The Documents tab opens on the document table. Below it sits the same document block you see on the Overview tab: key documents beside the document family, then contract components, then document insights. Both tabs render the same block, so the two views cannot disagree about the same files.

Contract dates and reminders

What each date on the timeline means, which ones Coverbase calculates, and who gets the reminder emails.
