• Signer – This will allow the recipient to sign the attached document(s).
• Watcher – This will enable the recipients to receive the contents of the completed envelope. They will receive a copy once all signers have signed.

You can edit the email addresses listed for any recipient. Only email addresses that have been set to default will be displayed in the recipients table, any changes made in the envelope will be reflected in the Client Record.

If there is more than one signer in the envelope:

• Select a Recipient in the Signers table.
• Use the Move Up or Move Down buttons on the right hand side of the page to change the order. The signer at the top of the table will receive the envelope first.

To use an existing template, select a template from the “Using Template” combo box.

• Edit the message in the white text field if required.

Document Management

Note: The document will take the current Print Preference settings into accounts when generating the preview.

Document Preview

For each signer set in the Recipients table:

• Drag and drop the Signature or Date field(s) onto the document preview exactly where you would like the recipient to sign or date.

Note: You may need to expand a menu to find additional signing tags if there is more than one signer.

Check and Finish

• Clear any validations that might appear.
• If there are not validations to clear, the envelope is ready to send.
• Select Send Envelope and it will be sent to the first recipient.

We would recommend checking the email addresses for recipients on the check and finish screen before sending the envelope.
