This form is for keeping the clause database up to date. Here you can add, modify, or delete Tender Clauses. To browse the list of clauses, click on the desired clause title in the list (if the list is already active, you can scroll through it with the Up & Down cursor keys). To view clauses from a single group only, select the tab with that group letter.

• Index # - This refers to the ID number the TDS uses to uniquely identify each clause entered in the system. It is for internal use only.



• Group - A single letter which identifies the group in which the clause will appear on a Tender. When printed, Clauses will be sorted and labeled by their group letter (ie. A.1, A.2, A.3, B.1, B.2, ...).



• Priority - This is the second level of sorting: A number from 0 to 100 which determines where the clause is listed within it's group (0 = Title, 1 = High, 100 = Low). A clause with a priority of 0 will appear at the beginning of the group, 100 will be at the end of the group.
  
  A Clause with a priority of 0 will be treated as a Group Header, and not have any Text printed below it, or have an item number next to it. For example:
  
  

  ---

  A     Group A Header
  
  A.1   Another Clause
          This is a Clause with a priority > 0, therefore this text is printed, and there
          is an item number next to the group letter (A.1). The one above has a priority = 0.

  ---

  
  Several clauses may have the same priority number. If a tender contains several such clauses, they will appear in the order in which they were made (oldest first) since they aren't differentiated by the priority.
  
  
• Clause Title - The title of the clause, as it would appear on the Tender Document (max. 100 characters).



• Text Body - The actual text of the clause in question.



• Accents - For users who are not using multi-lingual keyboards: Press the button for the desired accent, then type the required character. If the selected accent is applicable to that letter, then it will appear as the next character, otherwise the letter will be unmodified.



• Date Created - The date & time of the record being added to the database.



• Date Changed - The date & time of the last modification made to the clause.



• Changed By - The user name of the person who last modified the record.
