Electronic signatures or eSignatures have become very popular because of the simplicity, convenience, and security they bring to the day-to-day business transactions. But many people remain sceptical to opt for them entirely or don’t leverage all the available features. In this article, we’re going to talk about a relatively unexplored feature of eSignatures – setting up a signing order to sign documents electronically.
RSign, a global eSignature solution from RPost, offers a robust “sequential signing” feature to let you determine the signing order before sending a document for signature digitally.
Getting a document signed by more than one person is a super easy process in RSign. Some use cases where this feature comes in handy include:
Here’s how you can set up a sequence for your recipients to sign forms, e-sign documents, and attach their signatures digitally.
Open your RSign interface and upload the document to set it up to sign documents online.
Click on the “Recipient” button and start adding details like names and email addresses.
You can assign three different roles to your recipients:
You can add as many signers as needed and set the sequence of signing by manually entering the numbers in the “Order” column. RSign makes it easy to prepare a document with multiple signers by assigning the input fields a different color for each signer.
Then you have the “Sign in Sequence” checkbox. If it’s checked, all signers will have a predefined signing order of the RSign Document. Once the first signer signs forms, only then will it be sent to the second signer, and so on.
Once you have decided the entire signing sequence, add your subject line and message. You can leverage all the style elements like spacing, numbering, font styles, and more to apply to your message just like in a regular email message or a Word document.
The RSign interface allows your recipients to type their signature online or choose from their saved signatures from the dropdown box. Next, you need to add signature controls at the bottom of your document.
Once your document is ready, click the “Send” button. Your sequential signing order is set up!
Besides creating custom eSignature workflows with sequential signing, there are several other sending options in the interface that you can configure to make the entire electronic signature signing experience seamless.
For instance, on the left pane of the interface, you will find several options through which you can:
Setting the signing order for signatures is fast and easy. With RSign, you can create secure and legally enforceable signatures speedily with top-grade encryption and also personalize them without risking legitimacy.
Add or remove signers with ease, send out reminders to recipients, collect free electronic signatures in the proper signing sequence – do more with RSign. And it’s free to use. Try it!
