Slip Contracts

Generate, send, track, and manage slip lease contracts with templates, e-signatures, PDF generation, and status tracking.

The Contracts page lets you manage slip rental agreements with built-in contract generation, e-signature workflows, and PDF archiving. Every reservation can have an associated contract that moves through a defined lifecycle from draft to signed.

Overview

The contracts page shows four stats cards at the top:

StatDescription
Active ReservationsTotal number of non-cancelled, non-completed reservations
Contracts SignedNumber of reservations with signed contracts
Pending SignatureNumber of reservations with contracts awaiting signature
Signed RatePercentage of active reservations that have signed contracts

Contract statuses

Tabs

The page is organized into three tabs:

  1. Pending -- Shows reservations without a signed contract (including Draft, Sent, Viewed, and No Contract statuses).
  2. Signed -- Shows reservations with signed contracts.
  3. All -- Shows all reservations regardless of contract status.

Contract workflow

Step 1: Generate a contract

  1. Find the reservation in the table (on the Pending tab).
  2. Click Generate in the Actions column.
  3. Select a contract template from the dropdown.
  4. Click Generate.

The system creates a draft contract using the selected template, populating it with data from the reservation (customer name, slip details, dates, rates, etc.).

Step 2: Send for signature

  1. Find the reservation with a Draft contract.
  2. Click Send in the Actions column (or use the context menu).
  3. Enter the signer name and signer email (pre-filled from the reservation if available).
  4. Click Send.

The tenant receives an email with a signing link.

Step 3: Track and follow up

  • Resend -- If the tenant has not responded, use the context menu to resend the signing email.
  • Void -- If you need to cancel an unsigned contract, use Void to invalidate it. You can then generate a new one.

Step 4: View signed contracts

Once signed, the contract appears in the Signed tab. From the context menu:

  • View Signed PDF -- Opens the signed contract PDF in a new tab (if a PDF URL is available).
  • Generate PDF -- If no PDF exists yet, generates one from the signed contract data and opens it.
  • View Reservation -- Navigates to the reservation detail page.

Contract templates

Click Manage Templates to open the Contract Template Editor. Templates are reusable contract formats that can include:

  • Standard lease terms and conditions
  • Placeholder variables that auto-fill from reservation data (customer name, slip number, dates, rates)
  • Location-specific provisions
  • Insurance requirements
  • Marina rules and regulations

Templates are managed per location and can be created, edited, duplicated, and deleted.

Table columns

The contracts table shows:

ColumnDescription
ReservationReservation number or ID
Slip/UnitUnit number or ID
RenterTenant name
Start DateReservation start date
Contract StatusCurrent status with icon and color
Last Sent / Signed DateDate the contract was last sent (Pending tab) or signed (Signed tab)
ActionsGenerate, Send, or context menu

Context menu actions

Right-click or click the three-dot menu on any row:

For unsigned contracts

  • Send for Signature -- Email the signing link
  • Resend -- Send the email again
  • Void Contract -- Invalidate the current contract (allows generating a new one)

For signed contracts

  • View Signed PDF -- Open the signed document
  • Generate PDF -- Create a PDF if one doesn't exist
  • View Reservation -- Navigate to the reservation detail
Tip

Create templates for each contract type you use -- annual lease, seasonal, transient, dry storage -- so generating new agreements takes just a few clicks. Monitor the "Signed Rate" stat to ensure all active tenants have executed agreements on file.

Troubleshooting

"No Contract" showing for active reservations -- This means no contract has been generated yet. Click Generate to create one from a template.

Tenant says they didn't receive the email -- Use the Resend option from the context menu. Also check that the signer email address is correct.

Voided contract but need a new one -- After voiding, the reservation returns to "No Contract" status and you can generate a fresh contract.
