Get Started with the Signature Feature
Step 1: Add Branding and Post-Signature Redirection (Optional)
Navigate to the DocExport settings to upload your company logo.
Configure redirect URLs for signees after they complete the signing process.
Configure Signature Request expiration time.
By default, signees are redirected to a success page indicating the signature was successful.
Step 2: Design a Word Template
Create a Word document with placeholders for signatories:
{{Signature:People}}: For a single signer using a specified column.
{{Signature:NameColumn;EmailColumn}}: For multiple signers.
{{Signature:john doe;john@doe.com}}: For specific individuals.
Use {{SignatureDate}} to display the date of the signature.
To select a custom email template, append its name to the placeholder. In these examples, Signature Request is the name of the email template being used:
{{Signature:NameColumn;EmailColumn;Signature Request}}
{{Signature:People;;Signature Request}}
Step 3: Configure the Signature Workflow
Document Generation: Use the "File to column" action to store the document after signing. This ensures the completed document with signatures is saved.
Email Notifications: Configure "Send via email to..." actions for automated signature requests.
Tracking: After initiating your first signature request DocExport will automatically create a column named “Signature Status” containing the following values:
Waiting, Declined, Expired, Revoked, Error, Completed
Set Expiry Days: Navigate to DocExport settings to configure the expiration time for signature requests.
Revoke Signature Requests: Use the "Revoke" option in the Tab "Documents" if a request needs to be invalidated.
Supported Formats: Only Microsoft Word (.docx) templates are supported.
Placeholders:
{{Signature:NameColumn}}: Single signee.
{{Signature:NameColumn;EmailColumn;TemplateName}}: Multi-signer with a custom email template.
{{SignatureDate}}: Dynamic placeholder for signature date.
Authentication: Users must authenticate to complete the signature process.
Default Email: If no email template is specified, the default signature email template is used
Can I resize the signature field? Yes, adjust the font size of the placeholder in the template to modify the field size.
Can I collect multiple signatures on one document?
