After filling in the dates for the authentication you can test if the URL matches any pattern of the authentications. If no pattern matches you get an information. The following screenshots show you a warning and a successful matching of the patterns.

If you have more than one authentication and you check the URL for the pattern and more than one authentication matches, always the first one of the list will be highlighted green.

The signature appearance section allows to configure the representation of the signature (or seal) on the PDF document. With custom signature rendering layout configuration ("stamp imprint configuration"), an organization administrator can define how the stamp imprint on the signature image looks like (e.g. fonts, elements, layout etc). It can be used e.g. to set organization wide background images (e.g. company logos) or define specific fonts for text added to the stamp imprint. While it has no impact on the legal levels of signatures (in EU, defined by eIDAS), a customer specific stamp imprint representation can create higher subjective trust and contract awareness of your customers.

A detailled detailed guide about changing the Signature Rendering Configuration is available in chapter "Stamp Imprint Configuration".

Activity-Engine Custom Localizations

...

This setting allows you to override localizations, enabling customization for various elements such as signature image rendering labels and text for transaction code configuration (e.g. SMS text). In this section you can

• upload a translation bundle,
• reset to default settings,
• download the current translation bundle,
• and also access the default template for localizations. 

Use the template to customize any supported localizations of the SIGNificant Wokrstep Controller. Note the following procedure:

• Make a copy of the file
• Rename it to include the language code of the target language (e.g. Localizations.de.custom.json)
• Open the copied file
• Find the items that needs to be changed and adapt the values accordingly
• Remove all other items (which still have the default value) to receive updates automatically after a software update

Please see also Language Support for the available languages.

Retention Period

...

...

Please also see the next figure:

Image Modified

When enabling retention period, please ensure to set up an appropriate process to keep copies of signed documents, audit trail evidence and other legally binding documentats related to the envelope elsewhere. Data retention configuration will permanently delete the envelopes, including signed envelopes, from the eSignAnyWhere Platform according to the rules described above. We recommend to store the documents and related evidence in a DMS. When API access is granted for your account, you can implement automatic storage in a DMS after an envelope was completed. Alternatively you could e.g. keep copies in any other storage or probably keep a copy in your mail inbox.

...

In this section you can download all finished envelopes you have signed or sent.
