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/hwGEL4KEEwut0f8eMspgGg)**   
  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/G7QE4rX76gydX4qTDykL0A)**   
  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/oYIQwOdh~2WH51M4SIPdhQ)**   
  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/hhEkVqj3hVMJ445E4EFJew)**   
  Enable the notification for contract metadata extraction to receive email notifications when metadata extraction is completed.
* **[Configure the workspace URL for contract metadata extraction notifications](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/~xhGIVxvIjKOB54ydmvPFQ)**   
  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/WfcB4IODMiCetRxSu4CZlQ)**   
  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.
