          Create a Custom Report Type and Clause History Report

          Create a Custom Report Type and Clause History Report

          To run reports on clauses, you must create a custom report type with the Document Authored Content object. The report type determines the records and fields that appear in your report. Use the record type to capture the metadata for clauses and sections within documents. Add relevant fields from the related records, such as contracts, clauses, and clause sets to customize the report layout. Finally, build a report by using this custom report type for a detailed analysis of the clause metadata in your contracts.
