General Structure

  • Speed up sending a new envelope
  • Directly start creating an envelope with a Drag&Drop interaction on one of the two areas “Send new Document” or “Sign Document”
  • Statistics Summary

Tiles in Main Area

There are four big tiles in the center area. Those are providing following functionality:

Send new Document

Starts creating a new envelope draft; expecting to be sent to remote recipients via e-mail.

The tile also supports following Drag&Drop interaction:
Drag any local document from the operating system (e.g. MS Windows) to the tile

Sign Document

Starts creating a new envelope draft; but with the current user as first recipient so that there is no need to send the envelope to the first recipient via e-mail. When the sender himself is the first recipient, the sender can directly go to the signing step after defining the envelope.

The tile also supports following Drag&Drop interaction:
Drag any local document from the operating system (e.g. MS Windows) to the tile
