# Global Contracts

## Overview

**Global Contracts** is where all document templates are created and managed — for reservation forms, unit sale contracts, and broker contracts. Templates are built once and reused across the system, with placeholder codes (Document Words) that get auto-filled with real data when a document is downloaded.

## The Three Document Types

<table id="bkmrk-document-type-used-i"><thead><tr><th>Document Type</th><th>Used In</th><th>Selected At</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>**Reservation Form**</td><td>Unit Sales Pipeline</td><td>Hold step — salesman selects which form to download for the client.</td></tr><tr><td>**Contract**</td><td>Unit Sales Pipeline</td><td>Confirm Down Payment step — finance selects which contract template to use.</td></tr><tr><td>**Broker Contract**</td><td>Brokerage Module</td><td>Active Brokers → broker profile → Download Broker Contract.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## How It Works

1. An admin creates a contract template in **Setup → Global Contracts**, writes the body text, and inserts **Document Words** (placeholder codes) where dynamic data should appear.
2. When a user downloads the document, the system replaces every placeholder code with real data from the relevant record (unit, client, broker, etc.).
3. The document is downloaded as a **Word file** with all data filled in automatically.

> 💡 **Example:** Writing `-broker-name-` in a Broker Contract template will be replaced with the actual broker company name when downloaded.
