Preparing & Sending Transactions

Once documents and signers have been added to a package, you can start adding Signature Boxes and fields to each document. Signature Boxes are the places where a signer must sign, while fields contain associated information about the signer. Multiple Signature Boxes can be placed in a given document for a given signer.

The rest of this section describes:

• Adding Signature Boxes & Fields
• Field Types
• Electronic Disclosures & Signatures Consent
• Sending a Package

Adding Signature Boxes & Fields

To add Signature Boxes and fields to a package's documents:

1. Click Prepare to Send. The Electronic Disclosures & Signatures Consent page appears.

2. Click the right arrow to view the package's first document.
3. Using the drop-down arrow in the Signers list, select one of this document's signers.
4. Click Add Signature.
5. Drag the Signature Box to where you want it to appear in the document.
6. Optional: If you want to change the Signature Box type or add a field, click the gear icon. This will open the Signature Box menu.

The next section describes the types of fields that can be added.

7. Repeat Steps 3 to 6 for each Signature Box you want in the document.
8. If the package has multiple documents: (a) click the right arrow to view the next document; (b) repeat Steps 3 to 7. Repeat these operations for each document in the package.

Field Types

Any of the following types of field can be added to a Signature Box:

• Signing Date: This field is automatically filled with the date and time when the signature is applied.
• Signer Name: This field is automatically filled with the signer's first and last names. Those names were provided when the signer was added.
• Signer Title: Displays the signer's title. That title was provided when the signer was added to the package. If a title was not provided, this field remains blank, and is not visible on the document.
• Signer Company: Displays the signer's company. The company's name was provided when the signer was added to the package. If that name was not provided, this field remains blank, and is not visible on the document.
• Text Field: Provides a box where the signer can enter information. This field is useful if you want the signer to be able to provide additional information at the time of signing.
• Checkbox: An option that the signer can clcik to display a check mark (clicking again removes that mark). A checkbox is useful for indicating that the signer has completed an action. For example, a document may contain the question Have you applied for a mortgage with another financial institution? followed by the answersYes and No. You can place one box besideYes, and another box beside No.
• Dropdown List: This drop-down list specifies pre-defined options, from which the signer can choose one. Once an option is selected, only that value is displayed. This reduces the amount of screen space occupied by this GUI element.
• Radio Button: Radio buttons also enable the selection of one option from many options. Multiple buttons can be grouped together by associating them with a common group name. If the Required field is enabled, at least one button in the group must be selected. If one button in the group is identified as the default, the corresponding option will be pre-selected.
• Text Area: This type is similar to Text Field because it provides an area where signers can enter free-form text. It differs from Text Field in that: (1) it can hold more text — up to 4000 characters; (2) it provides automatic wrap-around.

Electronic Disclosures & Signatures Consent

All OneSpan Sign packages automatically include an Electronic Disclosures and Signatures Consent agreement. All signers must accept the terms of this agreement before they are permitted to access the documents to be signed.

If you do not want to include this consent agreement in your packages, please contact our Support Team.

Sending a Package

Once you have prepared the documents in a package, you are ready to send the package to its recipients.

To send a package to its recipients:

1. In the Designer, click Send.
2. Click OK to confirm that you want to distribute the package for signing.

Preparing Documents

After you have added documents and signers to a package, you can "prepare" the package by adding Signature Boxes and fields to its documents.

Signature Boxes are the places in a document where signers must apply their signatures. Fields contain additional information about signers and their signatures.

Prerequisites

• You must be the user who created the package.
