# How do I create a pact?

All users can create a pact. 

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Navigate to the workspace of the lead applicant

Start by making sure you are in the right workspace. Each pact has a recipient field that is based on the workspace. A recipient for a pact should match an application or grant award.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Click "Create Pact" Button

You can create a pact from your home page. Alternatively, navigate to to the Pact view from your left hand panel and select the button there.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Complete the naming fields

Add in:

**Pact Name:** Unless otherwise requested by the funding program, your pact name should match the application/award title. Include an application ID as well.

**Pact Description:** Optional field to add in a pact description or other notes.

**Pact Code:** Enter the pact code that was provided to you for this specific funding opportunity. Do not create a pact for the wrong funding opportunity.

**Assign Workspace**: Confirm that you are creating the pact in the correct workspace - pact ownership matters. 
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Click Save. 

This creates a new pact and opens up a new view. In this view, you will add activity records, assign programmatic metrics, and run models.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.fielddoc.org/help-center/pacts/creating-pacts/how-do-i-create-a-pact.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
