Documents awaiting signature/Signed documents

When you access the Folder maintenance page, either your documents awaiting signature, or your signed documents appear at the top of the page.

You can see documents awaiting signature if the document hasn't been signed yet, or if you chose to invite signers to the document after it was initially sent. When the documents are still awaiting signature, you have a few actions you can take on the document. These actions include:

• Prefill/Add Locations either prefills forms on the document or adds Sertifi Data Fields to it. For more information about adding Sertifi Data Fields in the document editor, see Document Editor.
  • If you pre-fill your form, and you used Sertifi Data Fields to create your form, you might notice the email address of your first signer appearing in the Sertifi Data Fields. This is a visual way for you to see which fields are reserved for each signer. The signer's email doesn't stay populated in the field once you send for signature.
• Remove Document removes a document from the folder. When you click Remove Document, a warning appears. Click OK to remove the document, or click Cancel.
• Replace Document replaces the current document with a new one. When you click Replace Document, the Replace Document screen appears. Enter a title for the replacement, and then click Choose File. Navigate to the new document, select it, and then click Replace Document.
• Expire Document expires the document. When you click Expire Document, the document is expired and can no longer receive a signature. To undo this action, click Un-Expire.
• Add Documents adds documents to the folder. When you click Add Documents, your document library opens. When the document library opens, select or upload as many additional documents as you want to add to the folder, and then click Done.
• Expiration Date enables you to edit the expiration date and expiration time of the document, if the document is still awaiting signature. Click next to Expiration Date and update the date and time.

If a document is signed, the document appears at the top of the Folder Maintenance page, with the date and time the document received signature.

Payments

In the Payments section, you can see the authorization details. For more information about payments, see Authorization management.

Participants

In the Participants section of the Folder Maintenance page, you can edit, remove, or invite participants to a folder. You can also see their signer level, date and time they last visited the document, and the date and time of the last invite to the document.

• Remove removes a participant from the folder. You can only remove a participant if there are more than one participants assigned to a folder. If there's only one participant, you can't remove them from a folder. To remove a participant from a folder:

  2. Click OK.
