Besides, many of the questions have special signs to them, namely the hash sign showcases that there is a hint to the question. For instance, in the value over the contract period question, there is a hint about what the minimum and the maximum number of the entered value should be.

The star sign near the question, on the other hand, showcases that the answer to the particular question is required and you cannot finish the interview without providing it.

For the convenience, all input data or chosen clauses, as in the chapter about marketing cooperation, are being highlighted in the preview of the document.

Your short answer to the interview question is automatically converted into a full contract clause and displayed in the document preview if you choose to show it. Hence, choosing one of the hosting partners results in getting the needed subcontractor info without having to know or having to input any additional data at all.

Although, you have to be careful with the data processing, in this case with the contacting info of persons authorized to issue instructions to the contractual partner. These have to be filled out by you manually.
