# Commitments
> View and manage contractual commitments across your catalog
## Overview
Commitments are contractual obligations extracted from your contracts — for example, delivery requirements, option exercises, or scheduled release commitments. The Commitments tab gives you a single view across all contracts in your project, so you can track what has been committed to and link those obligations to specific recordings or compositions in your catalog.
## Accessing Commitments
Navigate to **Catalog → Commitments** using the asset tabs at the top of the Catalog section. Commitments appear alongside Recordings, Compositions, and Products.
## What You See
The Commitments table shows one row per commitment, with the following columns:
| Column | Description |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Commitment** | The commitment title |
| **Type** | Whether this is a **Fixed** or **Option** commitment |
| **Items** | The items included in the commitment (e.g. "2 x album"), with any recurring schedule shown below |
| **Contract** | The parties involved (assignees × assignors) and the contract type; falls back to the contract file name if no entities are found |
| **Linked Assets** | Recordings and/or compositions linked to this commitment |
### Commitment Types
| Type | Description |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Fixed** | A firm, unconditional obligation in the contract |
| **Option** | A conditional commitment — typically an optional period or deliverable that can be exercised |
## Search
Use the **Search** field to find commitments by title. Results update as you type (search activates after 2 characters).
## Filters
Click **Filter** to narrow the list. You can combine multiple filters:
| Filter | Options |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Type** | All, Fixed, Option |
| **Contract Type** | All Contract Types, or any contract type present in your project (e.g. Recording Agreement, Publishing Deal) |
| **Recurring** | All, Yes (has a recurring schedule), No (one-time only) |
| **Item Type** | All Items, or any item type present in your project (e.g. album, single, EP) |
| **Linked Assets** | All, Has linked assets, No linked assets |
The filter button shows a count of active filters. Click **Clear All** inside the filter panel to reset.
## Sort
Click **Sort** to change the order of the list:
| Field | Options |
| -------------- | -------------------------- |
| **Title** | A → Z (default), Z → A |
| **Date Added** | Newest first, Oldest first |
## Linking Assets to Commitments
Each commitment can be linked to recordings and compositions from its contract. Linking lets you see exactly which catalog assets fulfil a given contractual obligation.
In the **Linked Assets** column, click on the asset names for a commitment that already has links, or click the three-dot menu on any row and choose **Link Contract Assets**.
The sheet shows all recordings and compositions from the commitment's contract. Switch between the **Recordings** and **Compositions** tabs. Check the assets that correspond to this commitment.
Assets already linked to another commitment in the same contract are not available for selection, as each asset can only be linked to one commitment.
Click **Continue** to save. The Linked Assets column updates immediately.
## Row Actions
The three-dot menu on each row provides:
| Action | Description |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **View Contract** | Navigate directly to the contract that contains this commitment |
| **Link Contract Assets** | Open the Link Assets sheet to assign recordings and/or compositions |
## Commitments and End Dates
Linking assets to commitments affects how [calculated end dates](/projects/contracts/contract-details/structured-data/dates#commitment-scoped-end-dates) are computed. When a commitment has linked assets, the system can produce end dates scoped to that specific commitment — so different commitments with different terms produce different end dates for their respective assets.
Adding, removing, or reassigning commitment links triggers an automatic recalculation of all calculated end dates on the contract. Any manual edits to end dates will be overwritten. Link all assets to the correct commitments first, then make manual date adjustments.
## Where Commitments Come From
Commitments are extracted automatically when you upload a contract. The AI identifies obligations, option periods, and delivery requirements, and structures them as commitments attached to that contract.
To review or edit commitments on a specific contract, open the contract in Contract Details and navigate to the structured data section.
