When creating a contract type, you can set it as **Is Default**.

To create a contract type, follow these steps:

1. Go to **Settings | Contracts | Contract Types**;
2. In the list of contract types, click on **Create**;
3. On the creation screen, fill in the contract type details:
  - **Contract Type**;
  - **Description** (required);
  - **Is Default** (the **first** contract type registered is set as the default, and **only one** contract type can be the default);
  - **Remarks**;
4. Click on:
  - **Save and New**, to save the contract type and start a new record;
  - **Save**, in the arrow next to the **Save and New** button, to save only the contract type.
