Field Name |
Description |
---|---|
Signing mode |
Remote signing: An email containing the URL is sent to the signer. The signer needs to authenticate first before the document can be signed. Embedded signing: The URL is shared with the signer which the signer uses to authenticate and sign the document. |
Signer email |
Email address of the signer |
First name |
First name of the signer |
Last name |
Last name of the signer |
Routing order |
This setting determines the order in which the signers will sign the document and it starts at 1. For example: a signer with routing order 3 can only sign the document after all signers with routing order 2 have signed and a signer with routing order 2 can only sign the document after all signers with routing order 1 have signed. Another example: suppose we have two remote signers with routing order 1 and an embedded signer with routing order 2. In this case, both remote signers will receive an e-mail at the same time. Only after both remote signers have signed the document, the embedded signer receives an URL which needs to be used to sign the document. The signing process is done once the embedded signer has signed the document. |
Field type |
Electronic Signature: Signer will have an electronic signature with typically two authentication factors. This signature is a generic certificate with personal information within the reason field. Certifio: Signer will have to use CertifiO Desktop digital signature to complete this step. Text zone: Signer will have to fill the text field to complete this step. |
Language |
Preferred language (English or French) in which the signer is addressed to authenticate and to sign the document. |
Phone number |
Phone number of the signer. It is required if the signer wants to authenticate with "SMS" or "Call". It is not required if the signer wants to authenticate with "Secret". |
AMR (Authentication Method Reference) |
It determines how the signer will authenticate before signing the document. There are 3 options: SMS: a text message is sent to the phone number of the signer. This message contains the code that the signer needs to authenticate. The message looks like this in English: "ConsignO Cloud: 123456 is your code to input. The ConsignO Cloud Team." In French, it looks like this: "ConsignO Cloud: 123456 est le code à entrer. L'équipe ConsignO Cloud." Call: the signer gets a phone call and receives the code that is needed to authenticate. Secret: the signer uses a secret question and a secret answer to authenticate. This cannot be used with embedded signing. |
