Creating a Clause Set
This content applies solely to Government Clause Automation, which must be purchased separately from the Appian base platform. This content was written for Appian 24.2 and may not reflect the interfaces or functionality of other Appian versions.

Introduction

The Clause selection process allows you to select and edit a group of clauses, also called a clause set, that you need to create a clause supplemental document. The Appian Government Clause Automation (GCA) solution walks users through a guided experience that allows them to collect contract information and answer additional questions so the solution can automatically add or suggest clauses needed for the contract.

This page provides instructions on creating a new clause set.

Answering questionnaires
