Sign documents

On the Review & Sign page users get an overview of documents included in the signing package. The recipient selects a document for signing.

For each document the status information Complete, Action required or Review is shown. Clicking one of the action buttons Sign or Review of the row will open the document.

Clicking RESUME LATER all changes are saved without the user finishing the signing package.

The FINISH button is only enabled, if all required fields of all documents of the signer are completed and/or all documents have been reviewed by the reviewer. After a user has finished they can no longer edit the documents in the package.

The finished documents are shown in the upper area of the page.

Note If the document is opened for reviewing the recipient is not allowed to sign or to fill other editable fields.

All pages of the document are displayed in a continuous paging view.

In the header you can see the title and description of the current document.

If a document message has been set, a message icon is shown.

Documents may have form fields that recipients need to complete. Fields in the document are shown with a blue background. Required fields are marked with a red star. Users can click the fields to fill them in.

A form filling guide is displayed on the left side of the page to assist navigation to the required fields of the document. On mobile devices this guide is shown in the toolbar. The guide will point users in the direction of the next required field. You can also click the guide to automatically scroll there.

To sign, click in the signature field and follow the instructions. You can also remove any signatures added by clicking again in the signature field and clicking Clear Signature.

If the Client certificate required option is enabled (see information about signer certificates in Add recipients to documents package), a client certificate will be requested the first time you sign a field in any of the documents. This certificate will be used for all subsequent digital signatures for the current signer unless removed.

After the signer certificate is available to the signing session a new certificate icon will be visible in the toolbar.

Clicking the certificate icon will display information about the certificate. From this dialog you can also remove the certificate from the signing session.

After clicking the delete icon a message will inform you that the client signing certificate has been removed and a different certificate may be applied to new signatures.
