How to set "Signature" and "Date Signed" in document

Question

I just enrolled in DocuSign. I’m preparing simple contracts to be emailed. At the bottom of the contract, I have a signature line. From the left side of the screen, I drug the “Signature” field over to the document and placed it on the signature line, which created a “Sign” area in yellow with a downward area. On the date line of the contract, I drug the “Date Signed” field over to the agreement.

Do these actions automatically allow the recipient of the document to sign it and date it or is there something else I must do? Since I’m the only user of my DocuSign account, I don’t know if I have any administrator access.

Thanks for your assistance.
