Admin & configuration videos for contract management software

Admin guides for contract management software should cover every setting that changes what other people can see or do, explain the effect of each change before the admin saves it, and be easy for a newly appointed admin to find. Cover:

• Each admin task, step by step: choose who can create each contract type, set up a template workflow with its approvers and signers, require approval when non-standard clause language appears, choose which AI-detected clauses the company sees and manage user permissions, groups and API access.
• What each setting changes for everyone else, with a warning on the steps that grant access or remove it.
• Why it matters: A template workflow combines conditions, approvers and signers.
• Safe screenshots. User names and similar details should come from a demo account; Blur a Spot hides anything that slips in.
• A starting point for new admins, because the person who set things up often moves on.

Short admin guides can also open inside your product as in-app tutorials.

Assign an owner, update only the steps that change, and review admin guides on a schedule. Admin screens in contract management software change less often than everyday screens, which makes outdated admin guides easy to miss:

• Know what triggers updates, for example: access settings change, workflow builder changes and AI rules change.
• Edit single steps. Trainn's guide editor lets you change one step and its screenshot without recapturing the whole guide.
• Keep one link per guide. The updated version shows everywhere the guide is shared, including help center articles.
• Review before admins need them, for example before a customer's security review or renewal.

Use step-by-step guides for admin tasks people repeat, and short videos for settings that need explaining. Admins usually follow the steps while doing the task, so a written guide with screenshots works best, while a video helps when the effect of a setting isn't obvious:

• Guide: repeatable tasks such as “choose who can create each contract type” or “manage user permissions, groups and API access”.
• Video: settings whose effect needs explaining. For example, giving the wrong group creator access floods legal with bad drafts.
• Both from one recording. Trainn produces the video and the guide together.
• Exportable for reviews. Admin guides can be exported as PDF and attached to a customer's security review.

Trainn's step-by-step guide generator writes the guide from your recording.

Trainn's Creator plan costs $19 per month and starts with a 3-day free trial. That's long enough to record one real workflow from your contract management software, such as “choose who can create each contract type”, and publish it as a video and a step-by-step guide before you pay.

• Creator plan: $19 per month for one creator, with up to 15 videos and guides.
