IntelliSign Process from Document Toolbox

Module: Document Collaboration Gateway › IntelliSign › IntelliSign Process from Document Toolbox

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

As with IntelliApprove, IntelliSign can be initiated from within document authoring/merge tools rather than only from a record's Actions menu — the same Mass Process Jobs and Merged Documents administration screens that govern template-driven document generation and its optional routing for signature.

Mass Process Jobs merges one document template across many records at once. Choosing the Merge & Sign job type routes each generated document for signature. Merged Documents lists every document generated from a template, across all records. From there you can open a document, place its signature fields, follow its signing groups, and open its process console.


2. Key Elements

  • Mass Process Jobs (Administration) can merge a template across records and route for signature.
  • Merged Documents (Administration) reviews documents generated this way.
  • Area tabs on Mass Process Jobs: Contracts, Counterparty, E-Procurement, Employees, Purchase Orders, and Requests.
  • Job types: Merge ONLY, Merge & Sign, and Merge & Acknowledge. Use Merge & Sign to send the merged documents for signature.
  • + Add mass process job: “Creates the job as Pending; participants are chosen next.”
  • Job setup has two steps: 1 Which records (the conditions that pick records) and 2 Review and run. One document is created per matching record.
  • Merged Documents row actions: Open, Open the source template, and Delete.
  • On a merged document: a SIGNATURE PROCESS RUNNING badge, a Signature fields button, a Signatures section (“The groups asked to sign it, and where the process has got to”), and Open the process console.

  5. Under 2 Review and run, check the summary (one document is created per record), then click Run this job.

Note: Run this job stays unavailable until at least one record matches the conditions. For a Merge & Sign job, the signing participants are also chosen during setup.


5. Reviewing Merged Documents and Their Signatures

5b. Checking Signature Status

  1. On the merged document page, check the badges next to the title. SIGNATURE PROCESS RUNNING means the document is out for signature.
  2. While a signature process is running, the document is locked: “This document is out for signature right now, so it can't be changed.”
  3. Click Signature fields to work with where participants sign on the document.
  4. Click Signatures to expand the section.

  1. Review Signing groups: each group, its order, its participants, and where it came from. Groups are editable until the process starts. Use Add group to add one before then.
  2. Check the progress line, for example ACTIVE · 0 of 1 signed. If it is your turn to sign, click Sign now.
  3. Click Open the process console to see the process's comments and full history.
