Ready to send a Contract for signature? You want a new Signature Request.

To get to the Signature Request screen, simply click the paper airplane icon.  You'll find yourself on the Signature Request Dashboard:

The first thing you'll do is choose which Contract you're requesting the Signer to sign. You can choose an existing Contract or you can even upload a Contract that's sitting on your computer's hard drive.

A screen appears where you can see:

  • The Signature Request status on top

  • A preview of the Contract on the bottom

  • A panel with several tabs on the right, which we'll talk about below 


Right panel tab

Here are the icons you see at the top of that panel on the right. Each one represents a tab where you can dig in on specifics about your Signature Request.

Info Tab

The first tab (the one with an i in a circle) is the info tab. On this tab, you can: 

  • Set the Name and Description for the Signature Request

  • See the Status of the Signature Request

  • Enter a date on which the Signature Request Expires 

  • Choose whether to require the Signer to scroll to the bottom of the Contract before agreeing by toggling the Force Scroll switch

  • Choose whether to share a link to the Contract, rather than sending the link in an email, text message, or chat message by toggling the SmartPact switch

  • Give Signers the option to download the Contract as a PDF or a Word file by toggling the Download Format switch 

  • Decide whether to use PactSafe's Comments feature to collaborate with Signers on the Contract by toggling the Allow Comments switch

  • See the dates when the Signature Request was Sent, Created, and Updated

Signers Tab

By default, you start on the Signers tab (the one with a person's head and shoulders) so you can specify who should sign the Contract. If the Contract was created with Signer Roles, then you can assign each user to a role here. You also have the option to require identity confirmation from the Signers or specify the Signing Order for the Signers.

Fields Tab

The Fields tab (the one with the pen signing on the line) is where you assign Fields to Signers. 

Tokens Tab

Next is the Tokens tab (the one with the stars inside curly brackets). If your Contract uses Tokens that you need to set the values of, use this tab to set them. 

History Tab

This last tab is the History tab (the one with the line graph) shows the history of everything that's happened with this Signature Request. 

Signature Requests are the heart of Personalized Contracts, so there's a a lot to say about that. If you're scratching your head, there's no need to struggle! Just start a chat or email us at help@pactsafe.com.
