A wizard opens and allows you to create an electronic signature

The electronic signature action can also be found when you view a document, from the “actions on document” button.

This action is also available when selecting multiple documents at once. This allows you to select multiple documents to sign.


Please note that all documents will be sent to all signatories for signature.

- Fill in the contact details of the signatories with their email addresses and phone numbers. Be sure to fill in the fields correctly, it is at this step that the user determines the email address on which the signer will receive the document to be signed, and the phone number on which he will receive his code by SMS.

Step 3
- A summary is displayed showing the information you entered to send the signature.
- You have the option to change the language of the email and SMS that the signers will receive.

Warning: Only the signatories entered in step 2 will be displayed in the summary, if the logged-in user has to sign, it will not appear in the list of signatories
Do not apply a portal stamp or cursive signature to a document that has already been signed, otherwise the document loses its signature.
At the time of sending, if you are in the case of a signature that includes the signature of the logged-in user, a window will open allowing the user to sign the document directly from your Open Bee™ Portal .
