# Access E-Approval Signature Processes Assigned

**COBBLESTONE SOFTWARE**

Contract Insight — User Guide

**Access E-Approval Signature Processes Assigned**

*Module: Document Collaboration Gateway › Document Collaboration Gateway Settings & Functionality (External Users) › Access E-Approval Signature Processes Assigned*

**Note:** Section 3 is performed by a Gateway (vendor/client) user after signing in to the Gateway. Sections 4 and 5 are performed by a Contract Insight administrator and begin at the Contract Insight homepage. Menu labels, tags, and item order are configurable, so they may vary between environments.

# 1. Overview

A Gateway user's own approval and signature work sits under the Gateway menu's **Electronic Documents** group, which is tagged **Modules_DAC**. It mirrors the internal **My Assignments** page that employees use. When an approval or signature step is assigned to a vendor or client contact, it shows up there for them to open and act on. They don't need access to the internal Approvals & Signatures workspace.

# 2. Key Elements

- **Electronic Documents → My Assignments** lists the approval and signature steps assigned to the signed-in Gateway contact.
- **Electronic Documents → My Approval & Signature Settings** is where that contact manages their own signature setup.
- **Modules_DAC tag**: the Electronic Documents group carries this tag in the Navigation Menu configuration. This ties it to the Document Authoring/Collaboration (DAC) module.
- **Vendor/Client Gateway workspace**: the menu that Gateway users see. Administrators manage it under **Administration → Navigation Menu**.
- **Internal equivalent**: employees use the internal **My Assignments** page for the same kind of work.

# 3. Access Assigned Processes as a Gateway User

1. Sign in to the Vendor/Client Gateway with your contact credentials.
2. In the Gateway's left-hand menu, expand **Electronic Documents**.
3. Select **My Assignments** to see the approval and signature steps waiting for you.
4. Open a process to review its document and complete your step (approve, reject, or sign).
5. To change how you sign, select **Electronic Documents → My Approval & Signature Settings**.

**Note:** The Gateway list works the same way as the internal My Assignments page shown below. Each row is a process step assigned to you, with its status and a link that opens the process.

# 4. Confirm the Gateway Menu Items (Administrators)

## 4a. Open the Gateway workspace menu

1. From the Contract Insight homepage, open **Administration** and select **Navigation Menu**.
2. Make sure the **Menu items** tab is selected.
3. In the **Workspace** drop-down, choose **Vendor/Client Gateway**.

## 4b. Locate the Electronic Documents group

1. Scroll to the **Electronic Documents** card.
2. Confirm it shows the **Modules_DAC** tag and has two sub-items: **My Assignments** and **My Approval & Signature Settings**.

## 4c. Review a menu item's settings

1. Click **My Assignments** to open the **Edit menu item** panel.
2. Review the **Label**, the **Page** (or manually entered link), and the **Visible in the menu** setting.
3. Close the panel with **X** if no change is needed. Select **Save** only if you intend to change the item.

**Note:** Items marked **UNAVAILABLE** point to a link that doesn't exist in the current application, so they appear greyed out in the menu. In this environment, My Assignments links to *MyAssignment.aspx* and My Approval & Signature Settings links to *UserESignatures.aspx*; both are flagged UNAVAILABLE.

# 5. Check Who Sees the Gateway Menu (Administrators)

1. In **Navigation Menu**, select the **Workspaces & who sees them** tab.
2. Find the **Vendor/Client Gateway** card. Check its status (for example, **INACTIVE**) and its menu item count.
3. Select **Who sees this** to review its audience, or **Edit its menu** to return to the menu items from Section 4.
