This screen lists all contracts where paperwork has been issued to the contributor but a signed copy has not yet been returned.
The start date is highlighted in red if it is in the past, highlighting that the signed contract is needed urgently.
The three popup windows minimised at the bottom of the screen are described here.
The Cost centre dates... button can be pressed to display a list of the cost centres and the calendar month in which their contracts are meant to be renewed.
Contract documentation (including scans of signed copies) can be viewed by pressing the Documents... button.
To see the contract value, how it is split between cost centres, and the schedule of payments instructions click on the Fees etc... button. RCS Administrators can also view and maintain the list of contract owners in this window.
Click on Rights to reveal the copyright details of the contract as recorded in the Rights tab. If the button is coloured red, the rights agreed are non-standard.
Click on Contributor... to view the contributor's contact details.
Mark a contract as received
Once a signed copy of the contract has been received, come into this screen and store an electronic copy of the contract in Documents.
With the relevant contract highlighted click on Received button. The current date is stamped in the Returned field and the contract is cleared from this screen. If the contract was returned on a different date then type in the actual returned date in the Returned field before clicking on Received.
The contract then appears in Current contracts screen and the Fee for the contract can be scheduled
