Signatures

In the signatures section the signature type and automatic reminders for the SmartFlow can be edited.

 

Signature type

Each SmartFlow has a set signature type that must be used. This is to ensure that the correct level of authentication that is needed for the process is ensured.

A SmartFlow can be configured for each signature type that has been activated for the company.

The signature types are:

  1. Qualified signatures (currently only available for Icelandic eIDs)
  2. Advanced signatures
  3. Standard signatures
  4. Click to Sign signatures

 

Signature location

You can determine if the signature should be placed at the top of the first page of the document or the bottom of the last page of the document. It's a good idea to make sure the document template has enough room for signatures in the selected location.

Automatic reminders

Automatic reminders can be turned on for the SmartFlow by clicking the toggle button. When automatic reminders are on, a reminder email will be sent to the signee one day after the process was initiated, and every three days after that, until the process is fully signed or the process expires (30 days after creation). The signee can turn off reminders for that specific process by clicking a link in one of the reminder emails.

Multiple signees

By default, SmartFlows are configured to allow multiple signees. When multiple signees are turned on, the SmartFlow may be sent to more than one signees. This can be changed to not allow multiple signees by clicking the toggle button.

Note that only the first signee will fill out the forms in the SmartFlow. Once the first signee has finished signing the document, all other signees (if any) will receive email with signing requests for the signed doument in the order that they were added, once the second signee has finished signing, the third signee will receive their signing request etc.

 

 

Default signees

Default signees are signees that are configured to always sign the SmartFlow. 

Default signees can be added either as the first signee or the last signee.

If a default signee is added as the first signee, they will be the ones to fill out all the forms in the SmartFlow and sign the document before other signees will receive the document for signing. 

If a default signee is added as the last signee, they will only receive a signature request once the SmartFlow has been filled in and signed by all other signees. More than one signee can be added as the last signee, and they will receive the signature request in the same order that they are added in the default signee section.

If the SmartFlow is initiated via the portal, the sender can not remove this default signee. The only way to remove a default signee is to go into the SmartFlow settings and remove them there, by a user with SmartFlow editor or an Admin role. 

The sender will see who the default signees are and will be prompted to add other signees.

Initiation method

In the initiation section the initiation method and authentication screen for the SmartFlow can be edited.

 

Select initiation method

By default, all SmartFlows are configured to be able to be initiated both from the app.taktikal portal and via a self service link (that can be i-framed).

In order to restrict that, a SmartFlow can be configured to only be initiated via the portal or only be initiated by the signee.

When a SmartFlow is initiated by the signee, an additional node for authenticating into the process, will be added to the front of the process.

When the Signee initiated or the initiated by either method options are chosen the configuration options of the Authentication screen is displayed on the initiation method settings page. 

 

Note: If the initiation method is configured as signee initiated, the setup information must remain empty, unless chained from a preceding flow.

 

 

Authentication screen

The authentication screen is made up of three parts, the title, the description and the input fields. The input fields are determined by the chosen signature type. They display the fields necessary for the signature to function.

If the signature type includes a phone number element, you can configure a default country code for the phone number.

The title and description are editable in the editor displayed on the screen.
