# Configuring contract metadata extraction {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Configure system properties and use cases for metadata extraction so that a contract manager can use AI to extract metadata from a contract and add the extracted information to the contract repository.
* **[Create use cases for contract metadata extraction](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/I0cnYGQyZm7d3phAPDT31w)**   
  Create a use case for contract metadata extraction to define the information that you want AI to detect in a document.
* **[Map a use case for contract metadata extraction](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/jWCjeW2rMJc3g5Ykbf5GXQ)**   
  Map a use case to specific tables, and define conditions to apply the use case for metadata extraction.
* **[Configure system properties for contract metadata extraction](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/yDlT9rXf9eJA0zm0IK3OpQ)**   
  Configure system properties to specify whether the contract metadata extraction should be automatically initiated or manually.
* **[Enable notification for contract metadata extraction](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/gEb2czDa2FNsZ30sJ3XI_A)**   
  Enable the notification for contract metadata extraction to receive email notifications when metadata extraction is completed.
* **[Configure the URL for metadata extraction notifications](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/dZSNvue0GP9SlLCdnqA2Cg)**   
  Configure an extension point to update the workspace URL in email notifications, so that users can navigate to the correct workspace and view the extracted metadata.
* **[Configure an extension point to add contract metadata](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ziv3x0k5fR_TUX8U6njvew)**   
  Update the script in an extension point to specify fields in a related contract repository table where you want to add the extracted information for unmapped fields of a metadata extraction use case.
