What this feature does
Create consistent contract classifications for filtering and reporting. Britixo CRM keeps the result connected to the relevant customer, staff member and operational history where the feature supports those relationships. That connection is important for search, reporting, client portal visibility and future automation.
Step-by-step workflow
- Open Setup → Contracts → Contract Types using an administrator or appropriately permitted account.
- Review the current value and understand which users, records or automated processes it affects.
- Enter or select the new configuration values. Keep labels concise and use the approved business terminology.
- Where credentials, email, webhooks or cron are involved, begin with a test or sandbox configuration.
- Save the change and confirm that Britixo CRM reports success.
- Test the affected workflow with a non-critical record and with a restricted user where permissions are relevant.
- Document the operational change and use the available reset or rollback option if the result is not correct.
