Configure Contract Express integration

You can link Drafting Assistant to Contract Express (hosted or on-prem) via Word System Preferences. The initial setup is org‑wide, and only Build Document Administrators can later change it.
To access your organization’s Contract Express templates from within Drafting Assistant, a link between the two applications must first be established. When configuring this link for the first time, any user in the organization can perform the configuration. Once the link has been established for one user, it is established for all users in the organization. If changes need to be made to the link after it has been established, only a user that has been designated as the Build Document Administrator can make those changes.
If your Contract Express server is hosted and maintained by Thomson Reuters, complete the steps under
Link Configuration for Hosted Contract Express
. If your Contract Express server is managed by your organization, complete the steps under
Link Configuration for On-Premise Contract Express
.
