Info

Additional information to the phone number of the recipient: The phone number of the recipient is connected with the following three phone number settings:

  • SMS-Authentication (Authentication settings->SMS-Code)
  • Disposable certificate (Additional details->Disposable Certificate)
  • SMS-OTP Signature (Additional details->SMS-OTP Signature)

If you enter a phone number for the recipient, these three fields are also filled out. You can then either accept the phone number (default) or change the phone number for, for example, SMS-Authentication (custom). For more information please also see the video below.

(2) Designer


The Designer helps you to assign predefined signature fields of the document to the recipients and define additional signature fields and form fields.

  • Recipients: Select a recipient for placing signature or form fields by drag and drop. Every recipient has its own color to be easily visible at the document preview.
  • Form fields and predefined fields: signature field and form fields (e.g. text form, checkbox, radio button) and predefined field (e.g. initials of the recipient)
  • Document: The document shows the pages of the envelopes documents and the placed elements (signatures and form fields) can be easily moved, edited (by clicking on it) and deleted (except predefined form fields of the uploaded PDF document).
Info

The next figures show you how to add for example signature fields and textfields in the eSignAnyWhere viewer. In the video you see how you can position the fields and how you can change the settings of the form fields. For example we changed the settings of the first signature field in the video from Click2Sign to Draw2Sign (if you select more than one type, the signer can choose his signing method).

  • Recipient: which recipient has to sign the field
  • Label: the label of the signature field
  • Required: define if the recipient has to sign it or if the field is optional. If a signature field is required it is highlighted with a red border.
  • Signature Type: you have to select at least one type. You can select more, if you want to give the recipient the option to choose a specific type. You can also define a preselect type (favorite, click on star-icon). Please note, that not all types are available for all customers.
    • Click to Sign: the recipient has just to click on the signature field to sign it
    • Draw to Sign: the recipient can draw his signature (e.g. with finger on touch screen)
    • Type to Sign: the recipient can type his name for signing
    • Biometric Signature: this stores the biometric data of his recorded signature (x,y coordinates; pressure [if available] and time). For that signature type the recipient has to use the SIGNificant SignOnPhone App on his Smartphone or Tablet for recording. The Signature is asymmetrically encrypted and highly secure.
      • withinField: the recorded signature must within the signature field
      • onPage: the recorded signature must be on the page (can be written outside of the signature field)
      • intersectsWithField: the recorded signature must be partly within the signature field (default)
    • Local Certificate: the recipient can use a locally on his device installed certificate for signing.
    • Digital Remote Signature: the recipient uses a remote certificate for signing
    • Disposable Certificate: The recipient will receive an email as usual and when the recipient wants to sign a disposable certificate signature field he/she will get a one-time-password via SMS. The counter on the disposable certificate starts by signing the first signature. (For more Information please have a look into the Beginner Guide)
    • SMS-OTP Signature: The recipient receives a SMS with the one-time-password (OTP)

On the last page (envelope summary) of creating and sending an envelope you can find the settings for the absolute, relative date and also the configuration for the reminders. Please see the next figure for detail information:

Envelope ExpirationImage RemovedEnvelope ExpirationImage Added

Please see the following figure which shows the configured reminders  in a timeline. Note that the use case one shows the exact configuration which is configured above in the envelope expiration settings. The difference in the second use is that the "warn signers before request expires (in days)" is 5 days instead of 4 which is shown in the configuration above. Summing up the configuration: The point is the first reminder after the envelope was sent. After this first reminder the continuing reminders start. Therefore, as it is configured in the settings above, every second day after the first reminder the recipient will get a reminder for signing the document. If also a reminder is configured before expiration the continuing reminders will orient themselves on this reminder.  This is shown in the second use case. If such a reminder is used, the continuous reminder can be postponed by one day (referring to the last continuous reminder). Overall, the recipient will receive a reminder again two days after the additional reminder .

This feature allows you to send an envelope to multiple signers. The workflow will be split at this order into unique envelopes for each bulk recipient. This allows you to create a workflow, where the first signer (e.g. head of a department) signs the document and then each of the bulk recipients (e.g. employees of the department) receives a unique document for signing.

The plugin directly uploads the document in the clipboard of your eSignAnyWhere account. After the installation, you can use in Microsoft Office the eSignAnywhere Plugin, but first you have to configure it with your user token. The user token can be found in your Settings/Account page.

If you upload a file, it appears in your clipboard. A uploaded clipboard file can be used for one envelope. Therefore, if you click on the button “start envelope” the file will be deleted from the register clipboard.  If the retention period is enabled, the clipboard files are deleted automatically after 24 hours.
