Navigate inserted fields in a contract template
Use Navigate Inserted mode to move through the field substitutions already placed in a contract template. This makes it easier to find each field in the contract without scanning all available chips.

What navigate mode shows
In navigate mode, PICMI shows only the inserted chips, grouped by their section such as Information (Individual) or Listing.
When you click a chip on the right:
- PICMI moves to that field in the contract text
- if the same field has been inserted more than once, each click moves to the next matching location
- when the last matching location is reached, the next click cycles back to the first one near the top of the document
If a field is inserted two or more times, the chip on the right shows a numbered badge to indicate how many matching fields exist in the contract.
This view is useful when checking:
- which fields are already used in the contract
- where each field appears in the document
- whether repeated fields have been inserted in all expected places
Switch to navigate mode
- Open the contract template using Preview/edit
- Click Navigate Inserted
Only the chips already used in the contract template will remain visible.
Navigate to an inserted field
- Click a chip on the right
- Review the matching field location in the contract text
- Click the same chip again to move to the next matching location, if there is more than one
- Continue clicking to cycle through all matching locations
- Return to Insert Fields if additional chips need to be added
When the last matching location has been reached, PICMI cycles back to the first one.
Use number badges on repeated fields
- Open Navigate Inserted
- Look for chips with a numbered badge
- Use the badge to identify fields that appear two or more times
- Click the chip repeatedly to move through each matching location in the contract
This is useful when checking that repeated fields have been placed everywhere they are needed.
Use navigate mode during troubleshooting
- Open Navigate Inserted
- Click through the chips to confirm each field appears in the expected place
- Return to Insert Fields to replace any missing or incorrect chips
- Click Validate when finished
This is particularly useful after copying content from another contract template or when checking repeated fields.
note
If validation fails after copying and pasting a contract, the chips usually need to be deleted and re-added from the available field lists.
