Strict Signing Order

We’re thrilled to announce a brand-new feature designed to streamline your document-signing process: Strict Signing Order! This exciting update allows you to establish a specific order for signatures, ensuring that your contracts are signed in the precise flow you need, every time.

Why a Strict Signing Order Matters

When dealing with complex contracts, especially those that require multiple approvals, having control over the signing order is crucial. With our new Strict Signing Order feature, you can now dictate exactly who signs the document and in which order. This feature is perfect for situations where approvals or specific workflows are required, such as corporate contracts, multi-party agreements, or legal documents that need a designated signatory sequence.

Benefits of Strict Signing Order

Here are some of the key benefits of using this feature:

  • Streamlined Approval Flow
    If you’re managing a document with multiple stakeholders, ensuring each person signs in the correct order is vital. With strict signing order, you can avoid confusion by defining the exact sequence. This way, every signer knows exactly when they need to take action, preventing delays or errors.

  • Clear Workflow for Team Members
    By setting the signing order, your team can follow a predictable, clear workflow. This eliminates the need for manual tracking or reminders, saving time and improving efficiency. Each signer will receive notifications in the correct order, ensuring no one misses their turn.

  • Customization of Notification Messages
    Another powerful feature of this update is the ability to customize notification messages for each signer along the way. You can now send specific instructions or reminders to each participant, making sure they know exactly what they need to do and when. Whether you’re requesting an approval, signature, or additional action, this personalized communication ensures the process is smooth for everyone involved.

  • Reduced Risk of Mistakes
    In multi-party contracts, the risk of someone signing out of order or missing their step can be high. With Strict Signing Order, you’ll minimize the chance of errors, ensuring that all signers follow the intended order and that each document is completed in a compliant and accurate manner.

How It Works

Here’s how you can set up a strict signing order for your document:

  1. Upload Your Document
    Simply upload the document you want to send for signing.

  2. Set the Signing Order
    In the document settings, you can assign each signer to a specific step in the signing process. Each signer will receive an email notification letting them know when it’s their turn to sign.

  3. Customize Notification Messages
    You can add personalized instructions for each signer, helping guide them through the process or explaining what’s expected at their step.

  4. Track the Signing Progress
    As each signer completes their part, you’ll receive real-time updates. This lets you monitor the signing process closely and ensure everything is progressing according to plan.

Use Cases for Strict Signing Order

The Strict Signing Order feature is ideal for a wide range of scenarios:

  • Business Contracts: Ensure that your contracts go through the proper approval channels in your organization before finalizing.

  • Legal Documents: Use strict signing order to ensure that important documents are reviewed and signed in the right order, with all necessary approvals.

  • Corporate Agreements: If your company requires specific individuals to sign in a particular sequence (such as department heads or executives), this feature allows for precise control over the process.

  • Real Estate Transactions: In real estate, it’s crucial to have a set approval flow for agreements. This feature can help you manage that order effectively.

  • Employee Onboarding Documents: HR departments can use strict signing order to ensure that employment contracts or confidentiality agreements are signed by the appropriate parties in the correct sequence.

How Strict Signing Order Enhances Your Document Workflow

The addition of Strict Signing Order to your eSignature process makes managing multi-signer contracts more efficient and secure. By creating a clear and structured path for document approval, you can ensure that everyone involved knows their responsibilities and the timeline they’re working within. This ultimately reduces administrative overhead and improves the speed of completing contracts.

Additionally, the ability to customize the messages sent to each signer adds an extra layer of personalization and clarity, ensuring no one is left confused about what’s expected.

Conclusion

With the introduction of Strict Signing Order, your document-signing process becomes more controlled, predictable, and customized. This feature is perfect for any scenario where an approval workflow is needed. Whether you’re dealing with complex business contracts, legal agreements, or multi-party documents, the Strict Signing Order feature ensures that everything moves smoothly from start to finish.
