# How to store contract information with an Account in a report
Learn how to store details like contract start date/end date or contact details in a report
The [Metadata](/data-pipelines/metadata.md) feature in Exivity can be leveraged to store relevant information about contracts (like Contract ID, Customer ID, contact details, etc.) together with [Accounts](/reports/accounts.md) in report summaries.\
\
First, we need to create a Metadata definition, then associate it to one or more [Accounts](/reports/accounts.md).\
\
These are the steps to achieve this:
1. Navigate to the **Data Pipelines** > **Metadata** menu and click **Create Metadata.**
2. Choose a meaningful name for your Metadata definition.
3. By clicking the **+** button, you can add fields. Add your prefered fields with their corresponding type. For example:
4\. Click **Create** to save your Metadata.
5\. Now, we need to associate this Metadata definition with a report. Go to **Data Pipelines** > **Reports** and choose your prefered report. Click on the *Configuration* tab and you will notice that for each *Key Column* you have the option to add Metadata. In this example, we associated the "Contract Information" Metadata with the Customer level Account:
6\. Click **Update** to apply your changes.
7\. To fill in the contract details you just created, go to the **Accounts** menu, select **Overview** and from the list of Accounts, you will notice that at the Account level associated with Metadata, you can add values:
8\. Click **Update** to save.\
\
Finally, the contract information for the configured Account(s) will be visible in the report.
