Electronic Signatures

Signer Options

The optional switches for each signer, and how to make a recipient a reviewer or a copy recipient.

Most sessions need none of these. They are there for the transaction that calls for something more.

Signer options

When you add or edit a signer, the Add Recipient dialog has six switches. All are off unless you switch them on.

  • Signing in-person. The signer signs electronically in the presence of the sender or another authorized witness.
  • Disable Edit Name. The signer cannot change their name during signing.
  • Include Attachments. Completed documents are sent as email attachments.
  • Document Review. The signer must scroll through every document before signing.
