# Agreement Types

This is useful if your organization has many different agreements with multiple organizations, and you would like to group the agreements into categories. For example, you might want to create types for PC Service Agreement, Network Service Agreement and Software Support Agreement, all of the type SLA.

### Creating an Agreement Type

3. Select **Agreement Types** to open the window.
4. Select the New icon. A row is added to the browse table on the Agreement Type window.
5. In the Name field, type a name for the agreement.

You cannot delete agreement types that are system default. These are typically called SLA, OLA, and UC, but may have been renamed.

If you attempt to delete the system default, you will receive a warning message.

If you delete an agreement type you added, you cannot reverse this procedure and you will have to re-create it if needed. You should note that a new agreement type of the same name as the deleted one will not automatically recreate any links, etc held by the original.
