Name and Number

Both the Name and Number attributes can be modified using the Rename action. The agreement Name does not need to be unique, but the agreement Number does need to be unique within Windchill.

The type of the agreement is specified during creation and cannot be edited. You can create subtypes of the agreement type using the Type and Attribute Management utility. For more information about the agreement type, see Agreement Type and Subtypes.

The Start Date provides the date and time that the agreement becomes active. The Start Date can be any date and time. For more information, see Agreement Starting and Ending Dates.

The End Date provides the date and time that the agreement becomes inactive. The End Date can be any date and time after the start date. Agreements stop clearing security label values on authorized objects at the end date and time. For more information, see Agreement Starting and Ending Dates.

The value represents the number of days before the agreement expires that the subscription service sends out a notification to the subscribed users. By default, this value is set at 0 days and no notifications will be sent.

The life cycle state of the agreement is set using the Set State action. The active life cycle state is determined when agreements are enabled. To allow an agreement to clear security label values on an object, the agreement must be in the life cycle state specified in the security labels configuration file. For more information, see Agreement Life Cycle.
