Conditional routing with Conditional Signers

Conditional Signers allow you to route a document to a different recipient based on document package data. Conditional Signers are available for both regular Signority Documents, as well as Signority Regular Templates.

Setting up a document or template for conditional routing

In order to set up conditional routing for a document or template, you need to add a conditional signer. After adding a recipient to a document or template, locate the dropdown menu on the left of the listed recipient. From the dropdown menu, select “Conditional Recipient”.

Next, add all necessary prefillable tags onto the document. Prefillable tags allow a sender to fill in information prior to sending out a document. Now, go back to edit your recipients, and next to your conditional recipient, locate the ellipsis button on the far right.

Next, in the window that pops up, create the conditions that will dictate who the document will be routed to. Follow the steps below to create a conditions:

  1. Select the type of “Formula” to be used. In this case, the only option is the “Conditional” option.
  2. Select the name of the tag that you want your condition to be based on
  3. Select the comparison operator that you want to use. Note that conditions are limited to comparing numerical values. The operator ELSE acts as a default condition. In other words, if none of the other conditions are met, the document will be routed to the recipient defined under the ELSE condition.
  4. Type in the number against which you want to tag’s valued to be compared. For example, a dollar threshold amount.
  5. Type in the email address of the recipient that the document should be routed to if the condition is met.
  6. Hit the “+Add” button to add the condition to the list of saved conditions.

To modify a saved condition, click on the condition from the “Saved conditions” list. The details of the condition will appear in the condition editor. Once you’ve modified the necessary details, click “Modify” to save your changes.

To clear all saved conditions click “Clear”.

Once you’ve put in all the necessary conditions for your conditional recipient, click “Save”. Your document or template is now ready for conditional routing.

Reassigning Signature or Initial Tags

Signority also allows the sender to reassign a signature or initial tag to a different recipient using a condition. To use this feature, follow the steps below.

  1. Create a regular Document or Template with more than one recipient
  2. Place your tags
  3. Locate and select the signature or initial tag that you want to reassign
  4. Click on the gear icon that appears above the selected tag, and find the “Saved Conditions” line
  5. Click on the ellipsis button
  6. Set up your conditions. The setup process for each condition is very similar to the process described above for conditional signers. The only difference here is that instead of typing in the email address of the recipien, you can choose from a dropdown of recipients that you have already added to the Document or Template

Once everything has been setup, make sure to click “Save“, and your signature tag will now be automatically reassigned to the correct recipient based on which condition is met.

This feature is actively being enhanced and improved. Stay tuned for more updates!

Signority Formulas

Available with: Advanced Team and Custom Plans

Formulas allow you to automatically populate a tag with a value based on the values of other tags in a document. They are limited to the prefillable text and number tagstags that can be filled out by the document sender prior to sending out the document for signingas well as text tags.

In Signority, there are three types of formulas you can create:

  1. Conditional Formula
    Signority’s conditional formula tags let you set a tag’s value based on a condition.
  2. Copy Formula
    The Copy formula allows a tag to take on the value of another tag.
  3. Sum Formula
    The Sum formula allows a tag to take the value of the sum of the values of multiple tags.

Set up a Conditional Formula

  1. To start, create a new Document or Regular Template, upload your files, and add the necessary tags.
  2. Select the prefillable tag or text tag that you would like to create a formula for, open the settings by clicking on the tag to select it and click on the gear icon. The tags settings window will pop up, locate the line called “Saved Conditions” and click on the ellipsis button. A new popup window will appear where you will build your formula.
  3. In the pop-up, select the “Conditional” option from the formulas dropdown.
  4. Then next to “IF Tag”, select the tag that will be used for the condition.
  5. After that, select a comparison operator under “is” and a “value” to compare the tag’s value to.
  6. Finally, enter the text that the tag should take on if the condition is met.
  7. At the end, you will have something that looks like the following.This conditional formula says: if the tag named “Cost 1” is greater than 1000, then set the tag to contain the text “CEO Approval”.

  8. Once your formula is complete, click “+Add” at the bottom of the popup, then click “Save” to return to the tag’s settings. The condition line will now be marked as “Defined”.

Set up a Copy Formula

  1. To start, create a new Document or Regular Template, upload your files, and add the necessary tags.
  2. Select the prefillable tag or text tag that you would like to create a formula for, open the settings by clicking on the tag to select it and click on the gear icon. The tags settings window will pop up, locate the line called “Saved Conditions” and click on the ellipsis button. A new popup window will appear where you will build your formula.
  3. In the pop-up, select the “Copy” option from the list of formulas.
  4. Next to tag, choose the name of the tag you wish to copy the value from.
  5. Once your formula is complete, click “+Add” at the bottom of the popup, then click “Save” to return to the tag’s settings. The condition line will now be marked as “Defined”.

Set up a Sum Formula

  1. To start, create a new Document or Regular Template, upload your files, and add the necessary tags.
  2. Select the prefillable tag or text tag that you would like to create a formula for, open the settings by clicking on the tag to select it and click on the gear icon. The tags settings window will pop up, locate the line called “Saved Conditions” and click on the ellipsis button. A new popup window will appear where you will build your formula.
  3. In the pop-up, select the “Sum” option from the list of formulas.
  4. Next, to choose the tags to be included in the sum there are two ways you can do this:
    1. Use Shift + Click to select a range.
    2. Ctrl + Click (⌘Cmd + Click on Mac) to select a single tag in addition to other already selected tags.

  5. Once your formula is complete, click “+Add” at the bottom of the popup, then click “Save” to return to the tag’s settings. The condition line will now be marked as “Defined”.

How to Edit a Formula

To edit a condition, complete step 2 again and then select the formula you wish to edit and click “Modify at the bottom of the pop-up. Make the necessary changes and then click “Save”.

This feature is actively being enhanced. Stay tuned for more formulas in the future!

Signority’s Inbox

Similar to an email inbox, Signority’s inbox is a repository in the platform that displays and accepts any incoming documents sent to you for signing. 

The number inside the red circle represents the number of uncompleted documents that you have been sent.

Displayed on the left-hand side of the inbox is a subsection with folders including an “All documents” folder, a “Shared Documents” folder, a “Trash” folder, a default “Home Folder”, and finally any additional folders you may have added.

Documents displayed in the Signority inbox allow you to directly access and sign documents sent to you. This way, you don’t need to access the email invitation that was sent to you. To sign a document, just click the document’s title. You will then be taken to the Signority signing page to sign the document.

Enabling PDF encryption for signed packages

Signority gives you the option to secure the PDFs that you send out for signing. This option locks the PDFs in signed packages so that once downloaded, the PDF cannot be edited through a PDF editor. This helps ensure that your document remains secure even after signing and archiving.

Note: Encryption is only applied to e-signature documents and not digital signature. Click here to learn more about the difference between these.

  1. From the User Dashboard, navigate to the Admin Console>Global Settings using the left navigation.
  2. In Global Settings, scroll to Documents or use the navigation tabs at the top of Global Settings.
  3. Click on the dropdown under PDF type output for finalized documents, and select “PDF Encryption.

And that is how you enable PDF encryption for your documents!

How to securely share documents for viewing

Sometimes you might need to send several people a document to review, with no signatures needed. In this case, you can use the Signority Viewer feature to securely send someone a document.

 

Setting up a document to send for viewing is very similar to sending a document for signing. From your Signority dashboard, click “+New” in the top right corner of the page. Then click “New Document”. This will take you to the upload page where you can upload the required files.

 

 

Upload document

Once you have all your files uploaded, click “Add my Recipients”. This will forward you to the recipients page. In the “Recipient” section, click “Add Recipients”. This will add an empty recipient to the list. Note that by default, the recipient is set to be a signer. But in this case, since we want the recipient to view the document, we can change the recipient’s role to “Viewer” by clicking on the dropdown menu and choosing that option. Once you’ve done that, you can enter in the name and email address of your viewer. Repeat these steps until you have all the recipients ready in the list.

Add recipients as viewer

For each viewer, you can also add options to enable email and/or SMS authentication in order to ensure the security of the document.

Multi-factor authentication

After adding in your viewers, you can configure the other settings that are available on the Recipient page before proceeding to the next step.

Click on “Design my Documents” or “Next” to continue the set up. You will be brought to a document editor page. Since we have no signing that needs to be done, there are no tags that need to be added. Instead,  you can configure additional settings for the document, and then just click “Send”.

Send document to viewers

When prompted, select either the Legally Binding eSignatures option or the Digital Signatures option. For regular documents, the first option is recommended. But for highly sensitive documents, the Digital Signatures option provides useful tamper-proofing.

Digital or eSignature

Now your document has been sent! Your viewers will receive it shortly.
