    Step 1<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • Choose the signature profile<\/strong> you want to use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
      \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n

      Step 2:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • Inform the signatory(s) who will be required to sign the document. You can select multiple signatories from within or outside your organization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • 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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
        \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n

        Step 3<\/p>\n\n

          \n

          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<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

          \n

          Do not apply a portal stamp or cursive signature to a document that has already been signed, otherwise the document loses its signature.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

          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\u2122 Portal .<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
