# Configuring contract metadata extraction

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://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/contract-management-pro/cmpro-na-usecase-me.md)**  
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://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/contract-management-pro/cmpro-na-usecase-mappings-me.md)**  
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://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/contract-management-pro/cncore-conf-sys-prop-na.md)**  
Configure system properties to specify whether the contract metadata extraction should be automatically initiated or manually.
-   **[Enable notification for contract metadata extraction](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/contract-management-pro/cncore-config-notf-na-metadata.md)**  
Enable the notification for contract metadata extraction to receive email notifications when metadata extraction is completed.
-   **[Configure the URL for metadata extraction notifications](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/contract-management-pro/cncore-config-ext-wrkspc-email.md)**  
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://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/contract-management-pro/config-ext-pt-to-add-metadata.md)**  
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.
