When a document or template is sent using RSign, an 'envelope' is created, analogous in function to a traditional paper envelope, to contain the documents and record the details of the sending transaction. You can view & manage your own document envelope information after sending documents or templates via the ENVELOPES tab.

The ENVELOPES tab has two basic navigational components, the Search Bar and the Envelope Data Columns, enabling you to view and manage your envelopes using the Envelope Actions.

Search Bar

The Search Bar appears at 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. The search bar allows users to filter the envelopes by entering data into each of these fields.

To filter the sent documents based on their status, the Current Status filter dropdown can be used. You can select the status from the dropdown and press Submit to view the results.

Dropdown view

Current Status Definitions:

- Awaiting my Signature: Displays the pending envelopes that are sent to the logged-in RSign user for signing.
- Completed: Displays all signed and completed envelopes from within the company.
- Expiring Soon: Displays all pending envelopes within the company that will expire within the next 7 days.
- Incomplete and Expired: Displays all pending envelopes within the company that have expired.
- Waiting for Signature: Displays all envelopes within the company that were sent for signing and are still pending one or more signatures.
- Terminated: This filter will display all envelopes within the company that were rejected/terminated by signers.
- Transaction Cancelled: This filter will display all envelopes within the company a signer had canceled before they were completed.

Envelope Data

Headings

Positioned just below the Search Bar you will find the Envelope Columns, containing the basic information about each of your RSign documents and the 'envelope' which they were sent in.

- Sent : This column lists the date and time when the envelope was sent for signing.
- Envelope ID : This column lists the system generated unique code which is assigned to the envelopes sent from the RSign system. These codes can be treated as the identifier of the envelopes within RSign.
- Subject : This column lists the subject of the sent envelope.
- Current Status : This column lists the latest status of the sent envelopes. The value of this column is updated based on the actions taken on the envelope.
- Completed : This column displays the date and time when the envelope was completed. The value of this column is updated based on the actions taken on the envelope. If the document is Waiting for Signature and the expiration date is within 7 days, then this column would show the expiration date information.
- Sender : This column lists the user who has sent the signature request of each envelope.
- Recipient : This column lists the recipient of each envelope.

You can customize the columns layout by clicking on the columns icon.

You can also export the resulting list of envelopes as a CSV file by clicking on the export icon.
