Sending & Completing a Clixsign request

NOTE
For assistance with configuring Clixsign settings, view our Clixsign Settings Article (opens in new window).

This article includes the following topics:

• Generating a PDF
• Signing a Clixsign document
• Viewing documents

Generating a PDF

1. From the Contacts tab, click Docs > Generate PDF.
2. Choose a document from the Choose Template drop-down menu.
   
   
3. Select the Send To Clixsign checkbox. This prompts the CRM to send the generated document to the contact's email address for electronic signature.
   
4. When finished, click Generate PDF.
5. Input the subject and message where indicated for the email that accompanies the request for Clixsign signature.
   
   

   NOTE
   The Subject and Message can be configured to auto populate with a default Subject and Message. This can be configured from the Admin tab > Settings > Clixsign page.
   

6. Do the following in the Enforce Signing Order section:
   
   
   • Select the Enforce Signing Order checkbox to ensure signers sign in the order you specify.
   • Use the Signer buttons to change the toggle status for the users you want to sign the documents. 
   • Select an option from the menu to change the order you want the signatures collected.
7. When finished, click Send for Signature.
   
   Clicking Send For Signature sends the document signature request directly to the contact's email address.
   

   NOTE
   If the contact has a co-applicant with an email address, the system will automatically send the document signature request to the co-applicant, once the primary applicant has signed depending on signing order selection you have specified. The document signature request will only complete once both applicants have signed in co-applicant scenarios.

Signing a Clixsign document

1. Open the emailed link entitled Click Here to Review Documents > Select Review & Sign Now.
   
   The Welcome to ClixSign window opens. This area signifies documents are ready to be signed.
2. Click Begin Signing.
3. The Create Your Signature window opens. Do either of the following to create your signature:
   
   • Click Type Signature to allow the system to select your signature and initial appearance; or
     
   • Click Draw Signature to manually draw your signature using a mouse or fingertip.
     
     

     NOTE
     Signature sizing on PDF documents follows a 4/1 aspect ratio whereas Initial areas follow a 2/1 aspect ratio. This translates to 240/60 pixels for signatures and 120/60 pixels for initials.

4. The document opens.
5. Do the following with the Clixsign Controls, if needed:
   
   
   • Zoom In: Zoom in for a larger view of the document to be signed
   • Zoom Out: Zoom out for a smaller view of the document to be signed
   • Full Screen: Change the view to encompass the entire screen
   • Signature Settings: View your current signature to be used for signing
   • Signers: View the signers assigned to the document
   • Jump to Next Signature: Allow the system to navigate the user to the next signature or initials area of the document
6. Click Click/Tap to Place Signature to sign and initial the document in the appropriate areas.
   
7. Once the signing process is complete, click Finish & Submit Document. The system generates the completed document.
   
8. When the process completes, the system displays the Document Successfully Signed window.
   

   IMPORTANT
   The signer must wait for the document to finish generating. 

   
   
9. Click Download a PDF Copy, if desired.
   

   NOTE
   If the Signer has a Co-Signer, (dictated by a valid email address in the Co-Applicant Email system field) the document will not be completed yet. Instead, once the first signer has completed their part, the ClixSign request automatically sends to the next signer. The ClixSign request is not completed until all signatures are complete.

10. After completing these steps, the document status is listed as Completed.
