Signing Documents - E-Signatures

Module: Document Collaboration Gateway › Document Collaboration Gateway E-Approvals & E-Signatures › Signing Documents - E-Signatures

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 signing page renders the full document being signed, page by page, beneath its Place / My signature / Decline / Cancel / Submit signature toolbar, so the signer can scroll through every page of the underlying agreement before placing their signature and submitting. Signers reach the signing page from the Sign now button on their homepage or from the Your signature is pending badge on the record.

 

2. Key Elements

  • The homepage Awaiting action tab lists each document waiting for your signature, with a Sign now button.
  • A record with a document waiting for your signature shows a Your signature is pending badge, which opens the signing portal.
  • The full document renders beneath the signing toolbar, page by page.
  • Signers can scroll through the entire document before submitting.
  • The toolbar (Place, My signature, Decline, Cancel, Submit signature) stays fixed at the top while scrolling.
