# Completed Signature Processes

**COBBLESTONE SOFTWARE**

Contract Insight — User Guide

**Completed Signature Processes**

*Document Templates: Generation/Merging › Manage Electronic Signature Process › Completed Signature Processes*

**Note:** Each procedure in this guide begins at the Contract Insight homepage, so any section can be followed on its own. Custom fields are configurable, so the exact field list on a contract category record may vary between environments.

# 1. Overview

The same **Negotiation Processes** list, filtered to **Signatures only** and status **Completed**, surfaces every finished signature process — the same **Process Completed** status tag and finished Groups/Progress count used for approvals, scoped to the Signatures Process type instead. Opening a completed process shows who signed in each group and when, along with the files in the process.

# 2. Key Elements

- **Negotiation Processes** → **Signatures only** + status **Completed**.
- Completed signature processes carry the same **Process Completed** tag as completed approvals, with a finished **Progress** count (for example, 3/3).
- **Open console** opens the process, which reads "This process is completed/finalized."
- Each signing group shows a **finalized** date, and each participant shows **Approved** with the date and time they acted.
- **Pause**, **End process**, and **Finalize** are unavailable on a completed process.

# 3. Navigating to Negotiation Processes

1. From the Contract Insight homepage, hover over the **Approvals & Signatures** icon in the left navigation bar.
2. Select **Negotiation Processes**.

The **Negotiation Processes** page lists every approval and signature process. By default it shows **Approvals and signatures** with **Any status**, and **Started only** is checked.

# 4. Filtering to Completed Signature Processes

1. Navigate to **Negotiation Processes** (see Section 3).
2. In the process type filter, select **Signatures only**.
3. In the status filter, select **Completed**.
4. Optionally, use the **Search** box or the column filters to narrow the list (for example, by record or creator).

Each completed signature process shows the **Process Complete** status tag and a finished **Progress** count that matches its number of **Groups**.

**Note:** The status filter also offers **Active**, **Paused**, **Rejected**, **Cancelled after starting**, and **Cancelled before starting**. Select **Approvals only** to see completed approval processes instead.

# 5. Reviewing a Completed Signature Process

1. Click **Open console** on the process's row.
2. Confirm the banner reads "This process is completed/finalized." The summary shows **Status: Process Completed**, the number of **Groups** finalized, **Participants**, **Files**, and who **Created** the process and when.
3. Under **Groups and participants**, review each signing group's **finalized** date and each participant's **Approved** tag, with the date and time they acted and their signer instructions.
4. Under **Files in this process**, review the signed files and their versions.
5. Use the icons at the top of the page to **Open record** or view the **Signature receipt** (who signed what, and when).

**Note:** **Pause**, **End process**, and **Finalize** are unavailable because the process is already completed.
