# Lease clause categories

> Give your team a consistent set of contract provisions to capture during abstraction.

Clause categories organize the provisions you want to summarize from each lease, such as **Assignment and subletting** or **Maintenance responsibilities**. They give abstractors a consistent place to record what each agreement says.

A category does not supply standard contract wording. Your team enters the summary and supporting references on each lease.

## Add a clause to your abstraction workflow

1. Open **Company > Company Settings > Lease Clause Categories**.
2. Click **Create Category** and enter a name for the provision.
3. Select **Automatically add this clause when creating a new lease** if your team should review it on every new lease.
4. Select **Add this clause to existing draft leases** to include it in leases already being abstracted.
5. Save the category.

For example, automatically adding **Assignment and subletting** prompts your team to capture those terms even when they differ across agreements. It adds an entry to complete, not a completed clause summary.

Select a category's row to change its settings. The **Added To New Leases** column shows which categories are included automatically. The existing-drafts option does not add clauses to published leases.

See [Lease Abstraction](/leases/abstraction) for completing the clause details on a lease.
