Context Definitions and Prompts for Document Contract Extraction

Context definitions and prompts work together to control how contract data is extracted and stored. Context definitions model what you extract, they describe the structure of that data, including fields, relationships, and how values are organized.

Prompts supply the field-level instructions that guide how each value is identified and interpreted from documents during extraction. Prompt templates let you reuse those instructions so behavior stays consistent where you need the same logic in more than one place. Context mapping connects attributes in the context definition to Salesforce object fields so extracted values are stored on the right records and fields.

For example, a context definition can include a field for contract start date, and the prompt for that field describes how the system should find and extract that date from the document; mapping determines which Salesforce field receives the result.
