Sending a document for signature with RSign involves 2 steps, the first prepares the Envelope (which will 'contain' the document) and the second prepares the Document itself. The first step is outlined below.
To get started, click the SEND tab
You will be brought to the Step 1/2: Envelope page where you will prepare the envelope for the document.
Step 1/2 - Configure the Envelope Options
The options available for the envelope are populated with default values set by an Admin or within the Settings tab. If needed, you can adjust these under the OPTIONS panel.
Attach Files
You can select files to add from both your local hard drive or several popular cloud based locations, you can also select templates that have been previously created or shared with you
- + Document: Allows you to upload documents from a storage drive.
- + Template: Opens a list of prepared and saved document templates (see Templates guide)
Drag and Drop: One or more files can be uploaded directly into RSign by them dragging from a file manager window or desktop, onto the whitespace under ATTACH FILES.
When + Document is selected, on the Drives window, browse for the document location and select the files you wish to attach and upload.
Files must have one of the following file extensions:
- PDF: .pdf
- MS Office: .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx
- Image: .bmp, .gif, .ico, .jpg, .jpeg, .png
- Other: .tif, .tiff, .htm, .html, .txt
Repeat step two or drag and drop more files to add multiple documents.
Uploaded documents will appear in the ATTACH FILES panel with the file name and document size.
If two or more files are uploaded, the file order can be rearranged. Rearranging files is done by clicking the six-dot graphic to the left of the file name and dragging the file up or down.
