style="border: 1px solid #003366;"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 ENVELOPES tab.

The ENVELOPES tab has two basic navigational components, the Search Bar and the Envelope Data Columns, enabling RSign users to view and manage their envelopes.

Search Bar

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. 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 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.

4. Incomplete and Expired: Displays all pending envelopes within the company that have expired.
5. Waiting for Signature: Displays all envelopes within the company that were sent for signing and are still pending one or more signatures.
6. Terminated: This filter will display all envelopes within the company that were rejected/terminated by signers.
7. Transaction Cancelled: This filter will display all envelopes within the company a signer had canceled before they were completed.

Heading

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

1. Sent : This column lists the date and time when the envelope was sent for signing.
2. Recipient : This column lists the recipient of each envelope.
3. 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.
4. Subject : This column lists the subject of the sent envelope.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Sender : This column lists the user who has sent the signature request of each envelope.
