# Configuring contract metadata extraction

# Configuring contract metadata extraction {#ariaid-title1}

Configure system properties and use cases for metadata extraction so that a contract manager can use Now Assist 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/WS51QBvyYCRvfc9NZOUbKg)**   
  Create a use case for contract metadata extraction to define the information that you want Now Assist to detect in a document.
* **[Map a use case for contract metadata extraction](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/KPRPIeIRzvMnDhb6rPs4Mw)**   
  Map a use case to specific tables, and define conditions to apply the use case for metadata extraction.
* **[Configure system properties for metadata extraction](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ze_LOuSdAcbwBXEAGsvKWw)**   
  Configure system properties to specify whether the metadata extraction should be automatically initiated or manually.
* **[Enable notification for metadata extraction](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/b5tOn_CuKlg2eZ9c7TkluQ)**   
  Enable the notification for metadata extraction to receive email notifications when metadata extraction is completed.
* **[Configure the workspace URL for metadata extraction notifications](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/EFH4s2UsvF58cw6bIakOqg)**   
  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/AazRt212PE5RMPxQP8B04Q)**   
  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.
