The E-Sign – Send for Signature feature allows the recipient to electronically sign and timestamp an email and each page of attachments entirely by email. This article focuses on the SmartTags option.
SmartTags
- Allows the sender to add text field tags in any document they want the recipient to sign. It is best for commonly used documents that need a recipient signer name, date and/or e-signature, but the sender may also add Custom Tags when other information from the signer is required, such as Company name. Read this article to learn more about Standard and Customs Tags.
- The recipient simply views and e-signs inside a web browser. The recipient’s e-signature and other information inputted are automatically placed on the text tags in the original document.
- Senders may obtain signatures for up to 100 recipients on up to 10 attachments per message, either on a first-come first-sign basis or sequentially. Senders receive a single PDF with a signature certificate plus a Registered Receipt™ authenticatable forensic audit trail record. Senders may add RMail email encryption for privacy and compliance.
