When a document or template is sent using RSign, an 'envelope' is used, analogous in function to a traditional paper envelope, to contain the documents and record the details of the sending transaction. RSign users are able to view & manage their own document envelope information after sending documents or templates via the MANAGE tab.
The MANAGE tab has two basic navigational components, the Search Bar and the Envelope Data Columns, enabling RSign users to view and manage their envelopes.
The Search Bar appears as six adjacent black boxes positioned across the top of the page, with fields for From Date, To Date, Recipient, Subject, Envelope Code and a Current Status drop-down, followed by two green buttons, Submit and Clear.
Search Bar
The search bar allows users to filter the envelopes by date, recipient, subject, envelope code or by the current status by putting in the parameters in the search field and pressing Submit.
To filter the sent documents based on their status, the Current Status filter dropdown available above the chart on the top right corner can be used. The user can select the status from the dropdown and press Submit to view the results.
