The Template Management group includes background tables that support contract lifecycle and supplier sourcing management processes. The grouping includes the following tables:

- **Attachment Types**: Defines the types documents users can upload or generate and the kinds of records the documents can be attached to.
- **Contract Types**: Defines the types of contracts that can be created as well as the default approval workflow, document template, tasks and obligations, and risk conditions for each type.
- **Task Types**: Defines the types of tasks that can be created as well as the default configuration for each type of task.
- **Approval Workflows**:  Defines the group of steps required for each type of approval. Assembles Approval Templates into a step-by-step process.
- **Clause Library**: Stores the standard clauses your legal organization has approved for use. You can build document templates from these clauses or insert them directly into contracts. They're also used to compare third party paper against your standard language. Clause Library clauses aren't tied to specific contracts. When you add a library clause to a contract, a Contract Clause record is generated to represent the clause in that contract.
- **Clause Types**: Defines the kinds of clauses that are included in contracts. Organizes the Clause Library by categorizing similar clauses to aid in searchability.
- **Document Templates**: Stores all of the document templates in the system.
- **Metadata Types**: Defines the data categories that AI uses to identify, classify, and extract obligation clauses from contracts.
