Streamlined contract lifecycle : Users can close a contract directly from the contract form, supported by improved visibility into contract health. Contract performance dashboard : Enhanced insights to help users quickly understand contract progress and financial performance. Business Value: This enhancement significantly improves the efficiency and clarity of managing project contracts.
