Step 3: Start the We Sign process

Click Invite to start the WeSign process like so and it should take you to the WeSign Console Tagging Page

Tip: If the document is already uploaded on the Inbox workspace, click the WeSign – Invite other to Sign icon on the right hand side.

The We Sign console shows a preview of your document and allows you to place signature blocks in an easy-to-use design environment. In We Sign the signature blocks can be for Invitees, Viewer and Witnesses of the signing.

Tip: You can navigate within your document by clicking the thumbnail-preview pages to the right or select a page from the page drop-down menu on the top.

Step 4: Add Invitee Signature with a Witness

Click Add Invitee to add a signature to your document. You’ll need to click +Add Witness as one of the settings in the signature setting.

Other Signature options you can select at the same time are:

  • Invitee details (e-mail, f.name, l.name): Enter the details of the person who is signing the document. An e-mail invitation will be sent to the e-mail address you provide so be sure it is correct!
  • Signature Type: Select between a full-signature or initials. Selecting Initials is much like initialling a paper document. When you set up your graphical signature you must provide both a full signature and your initials.
  • Signature capture format: Specify whether the Invitee can use an E Signature or a scanned signature. An E Signature, whilst still legally binding, can be captured using any of Secured Signings signature capture processes. A scanned signature, however, must be a digital copy of your real signature. Some organizations require signatures to be visibly consistent with a traditional hand-written signature so they can compare how it looks to their copy on file.
  • Title: Include the Invitee’s Job Title with the signature.
  • Reason: Prompt the Invitee to provide a reason for signing to embed in to the signature.
  • Multipage Signing: Allow the Invitee to sign multiple pages. You specify which pages the Invitee can sign; All pages, odd pages, even pages or select specific pages.

Step 5: Send out the Invitation/s to Sign

Click Next to open the Invitation workflow pop-up and prepare the signing procedure. 

From here you can define a specific signing order, set a signing due date / time, change the details of the invitees and create custom messages to send with the invitation emails.

To specify a signing order select the “sequential” checkbox and click on the green bar to swap order.

From the Invitation Workflow the sender can choose who will nominate the Witness, it could be the Invitee or the Sender.
