Step 4: Add Invitee Signature with a Witness

Click Add Invitee to add a signature to your document. You’ll need to click +Add Witness as one of the settings in the signature setting.

Other Signature options you can select at the same time are:

  • Invitee details (e-mail, f.name, l.name): Enter the details of the person who is signing the document. An e-mail invitation will be sent to the e-mail address you provide so be sure it is correct!
  • Signature Type: Select between a full-signature or initials. Selecting Initials is much like initialling a paper document. When you set up your graphical signature you must provide both a full signature and your initials.
  • Signature capture format: Specify whether the Invitee can use an E Signature or a scanned signature. An E Signature, whilst still legally binding, can be captured using any of Secured Signings signature capture processes. A scanned signature, however, must be a digital copy of your real signature. Some organizations require signatures to be visibly consistent with a traditional hand-written signature so they can compare how it looks to their copy on file.
  • Title: Include the Invitee’s Job Title with the signature.
  • Reason: Prompt the Invitee to provide a reason for signing to embed in to the signature.
  • Multipage Signing: Allow the Invitee to sign multiple pages. You specify which pages the Invitee can sign; All pages, odd pages, even pages or select specific pages.

Step 3: Prepare to send the document

Once you are ready to send the document, continue to the next step by clicking the next button. Enter invitee details in the pop-up setup the due date. If you have more than one Invitee on your form then whoever is highest on the list will be the one to fill out the form. To change signing order click on the green bar and move it up and down. To edit Invitee details such as E-mail, name, just type it in the right place. When you’re happy with the workflow click Send to send out all invitations.
