Working with Contract Templates in Optune

Contract templates save time, keep contracts consistent, and allow quick edits.

1. Creating and Saving Templates

There are two ways to create a new template:

  • Duplicate an existing template: In the template overview, choose a template you like, duplicate it, and edit it as needed.

  • From inside a booking: Open a booking, create a new contract, make your edits, then click the three dots in the top-right corner → Save as template. This saves your edited contract as a new reusable template.

2. Editing Fields in a Template

  • Remove placeholders: Place your cursor on the placeholder (e.g. Event Title) and press Backspace – just like in Word.

  • Dynamic placeholders: Templates use dynamic placeholders to pull data directly from a booking (e.g. Artist name, Venue, Gage). You can add or remove these placeholders as needed.

3. Using Templates in a Booking

  • When you select a template in a booking, any changes you make only affect that booking.

  • The original template is not overwritten.

  • If you want your edits to be reusable, save the updated contract again as a new template (Save as template).

4. Contact Fields in Templates

  • Contact fields (e.g. On-site contact, Technical contact) pull data from the Contacts section of a booking.

  • By default:

    • On-site contact = Artist care / Contact list

    • Technical contact = Other contact

  • You can adjust these fields in the template to fit your workflow.

  • A dedicated Technician category will be available in the future, based on agency feedback.

💡 Tip: You can also define a rule for “Other contacts,” e.g. first entry = Technical contact, second entry = On-site contact.

5. Fields Requiring Customer Input

Some contract fields depend on information you may only receive later (e.g. Doors open).

Options:

  1. Leave the placeholder empty – the contract will display “No data”, making it clear that this field still needs to be filled in.

  2. Pre-fill with a note – e.g. “To be defined after contract signing”.

6. Handling Fees and Gages

  • All gage fields can be customized per booking.

  • Data comes directly from the Deal tab in the booking.

  • You can decide whether to show:

    • Gage including commission

    • Gage excluding commission

    • Commission as a separate line item

  • Each option has its own dynamic placeholder, so you can configure exactly what should appear in the contract.

7. Best Practices

  • Keep templates clean: Avoid unnecessary placeholders or text to ensure contracts remain concise.

  • Use versioning: Save different contract types (Artist contract, Private event contract) as separate templates.

  • Check placeholders: If a field shows “No data,” double-check that the relevant information has been entered in the booking.
