Edit Signature Request
 

Docsvault allows you to change the password and expiry date options only for signature request in-process. To edit, double click on signature request for which you want to change the options.  

 

Once updated, you can inform the signers by resending the email notification using 'Resend' button. The recipient receives the same notification as before with an updated expiry date. For any change in the password, you will have to personally inform the signers using some other method.

 

Actions that can be performed by the Sender:

 

Resend: You can send another copy of the original email message to the signer whose turn it is to sign the document. Select the signature request and then click the Resend button. You can also select multiple requests and send reminder emails in one shot.The resend feature can be useful when your signer has lost the original notification email or when you want to send a reminder to your signer.
 

Copy Link - This allows you to quickly obtain a signature request link for the signer whose turn it is to sign the document. You can then paste the link in an email or anywhere you want to share the link with the signer next in queue.

 

Cancel Request - After sending a signature request, you can cancel the request at any state of the process before it is completed. This will cancel any outstanding signing activities and will void the transaction.  All signers who have already completed signing receive an email informing them that the signature request was canceled.  

 

Find:  Allows users to filter signature requests by text

 

Open File Location: You can open the actual location of the signature document by simply right clicking any request and selecting the "Open Location" item.
 

NOTE: To keep the active signature requests list clear and relevant, you will need to cancel any expired requests that you do not wish to extend so that they are moved to the history section.
