From the Variables section, toggle open the ESignature section and click the + button next to the tags to add either tag into a Proposal or Contract.

  - This field is only required if there are multiple signers.

For example, if Person A is intended to sign first and correspond to the \signature1\ tag located at the top of the Collaborate document, ensure that you assign Person A the Signer Order value of 1.

The Signing Experience with Collaborate and Conga Sign

After sending a Collaborate document integrated with Conga Sign, recipients receive an email in which they can open and access the Collaborate document.

Once a recipient clicks the View Document button, the sender is notified via email that the recipient has opened and viewed the Collaborate document.

In the Collaborate document, the recipient is prompted to review the content and click a call-to-action, such as Accept. The Collaborate document then takes the recipient to the Conga Sign signing user interface.

In the eSignature Adoption and Terms section of Conga Sign, the recipient has the option to choose between various signature styles or to draw their own signature. Once the recipient is satisfied with their signature style, they can click the Agree and Start Signing button to proceed with signing the Collaborate document.

Recipients simply click the Conga Sign tags to fill out their signature or initials. For other fields such as Title and custom text tags, recipients must click the tags and type in the relevant information. When all required tags are complete, the recipient completes and returns the document by clicking the Complete Signing button.

Upon all signers completing the signature process, the sender and recipients are notified and may view the final signed document as an online Collaborate document or download it as a PDF file.

Note:

The signed document is not completed until all designated signers have signed. If there are multiple signers that have not yet signed, the document will not show as complete to the sender and preceding signers.

Audit Trail and Tracking the Signature Process

The sender and recipients receive helpful status updates throughout the signature process, including email updates that detail who has viewed the document, who has signed the document, and completion of all signatures.

In addition to email notifications, the sender and recipients may see the current status of the signature process by viewing the online document from the initial email message. Senders may also see a more detailed signature history of the document by accessing the Audit Trail in Collaborate. The audit trail is easily accessed by clicking a completed signature or initial tag in the final PDF document. Senders can access the audit trail and the final signed document from the document record in Collaborate as well.
