On the Package settings page, you can update the signing package details.

Package settings

Package settings

  • Name

    The name of the signing package.

  • Description

    The description for the signing package.

  • Expires

    Define if the signing package expires and becomes voided if not yet completed.

  • Create audit trail

    Audit trail records all relevant actions during the signing package life cycle. If enabled, the final document attachment will contain an audit trail.

  • Allow in-person signing

    If enabled, the package can be used for in-person signing (Sign now).

    An administrator can prevent changing this setting. In this case, the switch is read-only.
  • Enforce signing mode

    Enforces a specific signing method for all the signature fields of a signer in a document of a signing package. If enabled, the signer is forced to sign the rest of the signature fields with the same signing mode which is used to sign the first signature field. Suppose a subsequent signature field doesn’t support the first selected signing method. In that case, the enforcement mechanism is ignored for this field, and the signer can select from the available signing methods as usual.

    An administrator can prevent changing this setting. In this case, the switch is read-only.

Notifications

  • Signing invitation send date

    Define when a signing invitation email is sent to recipient(s).

  • Reminders

    When a reminder is added email reminders are sent to recipients if they haven’t yet completed the signing package.

    When using series signing routing only the first recipient gets a reminder email if he/she hasn’t yet completed the signing package.
  • Email subject

    The title of the signing invitation email that is sent to recipients.

  • Email message

    Text to include in signing invitation email.

Email fields advanced features

Both Email subject and Email message fields support advanced features:

  • Use the $USER placeholder in the fields text to insert the name of the current user (signing package creator) in the email automatically. Being placed in the Email subject the placeholder will be replaced with the recipient name; used in Email message it will be replaced with signing package creator.

    Email fields
  • Auto-fill with the default value. You can clear all existing content in the fields to let the application insert default text from the configuration. Note that the application uses default values for the language of the signing package recipients.

Start a signing package

After the user clicks Finish, the signing package is prepared and ready to be started. Once the first remote recipient opens his signing session by clicking the link in the invitation email or an in-person signing session is triggered, the package changes to started state.
