Who uses this: Admins only — only an Admin can create a contract or turn on Attach Contract to PDF; both live in Company Settings. Availability: All regions. Customers sign in the FieldPulse mobile app or by email.
A service agreement that has to be printed, signed, and scanned before work starts slows the whole job down. Contracts in FieldPulse attach to your estimates and invoices, and customers sign them directly in the mobile app or through a signature request sent by email.

Overview

A contract is reusable text — a service or maintenance agreement, a general contract, a warranty — that you create once in Company Settings and attach to estimates and invoices. Set a default contract and it attaches to every new estimate and invoice automatically, with the number of signature lines you choose; adjust or remove it on any single document from its preview panel.
If you require a signature on an estimate before starting work for your customer, you must attach a contract.
