eSignature

Can I please get some confirmation on the 21 CFR Part 11 module requirements for users RECEIVING a signature request, when the receiving user does not have the 21 CFR Part 11 module.Say I am a 21 CFR Part 11 module user, and I send a signature request to a user with a FREE DocuSign account (assume their org uses a different signature platform, so no DocuSign licenses). Is the signing users signature 21 CFR Part 11 compliant, and they are forced to provide a second method of authentication as part of this compliance? I would hope/expect that it does work this way, just looking for total confirmation as i’m struggling to find a concrete answer for certain...

If a template has several documents (pages) within it and only one documents (page) needs to be edited (i.e. replaced) or another needs to be added in the middle of the template, how can I make that change without losing all of the other pages fields that were already assigned? Example: I have a 50 page document that I have assigned all fields within all pages. I have to update one page within this document, how can I do that? It is letting me remove a page, but not add one. Further, I do not want to have to start all over and reassign all fields if I add a page within the entire document. Is this possible with DocuSign?

Why do I need to sue DocuSign in order to get an envelope history that I am a part of and my signature was used fraudulently?Why is CS and  legal so evasive?Doesn’t anyone know that not honoring the TOU agreement and production of documents will be a complaint filed with the FTC, SEC and consumer protection regulators?I have been trying to reject all contracts made using DocuSign because of their lack of compliance with TOU(If you are part of the document and a signature is contested, I am entitled to the envelope history)I will be including DocuSign as the facilitator in a fraudulent transaction and requesting a subpoena that DocuSign must comply anyway and now will be asked to pay legal fees and potential sanctions and any judgement sent to the proper regulatory agencies.   

I added some users because in a web search I got information suggesting that the DS Senders permission allowed people to send but did not allow them to sign. It appears this information is not correct.How can I remove the ability to sign on users. We have a scenario where only 1 person is supposed to be able to sign. But a handful of people need to be able to send envelope out for signature.

A few years ago I was able to upload PDF documents and create a template that I could send to people and have them complete the form.  Apparently changes have been made and pdf is no longer a supported document format. What is the best way to create a template that I can send to people such as an onboarding form that gets used frequently.  

Which plan contains the ability to do embedded sending and signing? I assume all esignature plans allow the use of all API methods. Based on the plan and pricing page it is only included in the Enterprise tier. Thank you.

we send two different templates from the same email/account and we want to organize the envelopes by template sent in the inbox so that you can see the canceled, completed, in progress,... of each template. How can I create these 'folders' so that they are automatically classified? Can I see them in Outlook if I have the mailbox available?

Hi, newbie on DocuSign here… just my 2nd day on plataform! We have a complaince training today 2pm (+30min from now). After training all people needs to sign a document do say they were present and listen to training (please do not ask why… here is Brasil!). How we already did it:We generate a new doc in Word, with all legal terms and send it to 20 people!  Very hard work! What we need / I wish we could to do:Generate the .DOC withe legal terms and ONE space for signature and date/time and attach a CSV file for recipients (name, e-mail). They receive the e-mail, open it, sign their names and it´s done.Later we go to plataform to download ONE document with all 20 signatures to add to complaince process! We’ve used to do it using a manual process to put each people name and indicating the exact space for his signature . So if there are 18 people, we need to put 18 signature fields, one for each person on template!It’s SLOW and boring to do it. There are any ways to create a single docume

I am the Admin on our company’s DocuSign account and I am the only one that creates templates. I have shared certain templates with specific department staff. However, no matter what specific templates I have shared with them, they are able to see ALL templates I have uploaded. Is there a way to limit their view to ONLY the templates that have been shared with them? 

Good afternoon,I need help about this,One person in the company is goint to retire and this person receives a message when an envelope is completed. I now need to change the person who receives this message.Anyone can help me about this?Thanks

 I have a document  that needs to be signed to either  confirm acceptance of terms or  signed to confirm their refusal of terms. I have added the sign  action arrow to both the acceptance and the decline option. If both options are tagged with the Sign action will DocuSign allow for the person to only sign one option? I am concerned that DocuSign will want both spaces to be signed and will give an error message if one isn't. Please advise what you think is best. Many thanks. 

Hi I am new to using Docusign and have created a template which contains a date field but when I preview it appears in the American format and not the UK format of DD/MM/YYYY. I have changed the Regional settings to UK and the time zone but it is still appearing as MM/DD/YYYY. Is there somewhere I can change this permanently please.

We’re getting an “unable to create the envelope” error on some of our templates for the first time today. Some of these have been used for years. When I looked for similar issues here, some people said the templates were too big when they had this issue. They are fairly large (16-18 docs), but I’ve never heard of there being a size limit for templates. Is there a size limit?If not, what’s going on with this new error? We really need to be able to use these templates.

Hello!  For some Senders, the signed and downloaded PDF document is unlocked.  The blue Signature Panel ribbon indicating whether all signatures are valid is missing. These users are able to manipulate the document, reorganize the pages and save, not “Save as” the changes using Adobe Acrobat Pro.  This should not happen.  Any ideas?  Is there some DocuSign setting that is turned off for them or should be turned on for all Senders?

In 2017 my real estate broker had a prospective tenant sign a lease using DocuSign.  Once signed the lease was sent to me for my DocuSign signature.  After I signed the lease (now fully executed) I downloaded the lease from DocuSign. I now need to refer to this lease and when I open it in Adobe Acrobat, Acrobat reports “At lease one signature has problems.”  Here is all the information presented to me on Acrobat’s Signature Panel:  This is a very confusing message.  It does not appear to identify which signature it’s not happy with.  What does this mean?  What happens if a party rejects the document because they think there’s an issue with a signature (as Adobe Acrobat will inform them of this)?

Hello,Is it possible to customize the sender and the body of the verification code SMS sent by DocuSign? I am currently using RecipientSMSAuthentication for a signer to send this SMS. Thank you in advance for your feedback ! 

We use Purview and have word docs protected by information protection that encrypts the docs at time of sending/creation.When a user uploads doc for e-signature it fails.What is best process to enable the user to sign these docs?

Is there a way to add a custom email message to recipients with “Receives a copy”? Idealy, when the recipient receives the email “Completed” there will be a custom email message and not only “All parties have completed this document”.If that is not possible, what options are there to get a custom message to the recipient once the document has been completed? I tried, “Private Message” but when testing it, I wasn’t able to see these message as “Receives a copy”. Wether in the email nor in the document itself.many thanks, Lea

Hi, A question from a complete newbie, both in DocuSign, both as signed electronically documents. Once I signed a document, is the signed document “stay signed on its own”? What I mean is … do I need to keep paying DocuSign to have a copy of the signed document? Or, if I keep a copy of that signed document in a folder in my computer or my email as attachment, the document is still signed? Related to this, I will need to sign 5 documents a year. I can imagine that whenever I need to sign a document, I will have to pay DocuSign for that month, right? I dont need to pay the months before or after. Thanks, Juan 

Hi, I've had a Free account for over a year (not the 30-day free trial, just the free account).I have no need to send envelopes, but only to sign.Since yesterday I get this message when I try to sign any document: The envelope allowance for the account has been exceededSo far I’ve never experienced any problem/limitation. I do not send envelopes, but I am the only signer of the documents I upload, sign and download.I don't understand what the envelope limit refers to and what the actual limit is.As far as I understood from this article (https://support.docusign.com/s/articles/FAQ-Docusign-Envelope-Allowance?language=en_US), the envelopes I sign myself should not be counted.Thank you in advance for your support

I am using the "List Envelopes" action in Power Automate to retrieve envelopes from DocuSign by applying specific filters. I have set the "top" filter to 50, expecting to receive up to 50 envelopes. However, the action only returns 13 envelopes, and the hasMoreRecords property is set to false, even though there are over 400 envelopes in my DocuSign account.

HOW do I cross out stuff? I don't see anything in my tools

Hi,This might be trivial but never the less. When we send documents for signing its quite common that the authorised signatory want a legal to paginate/verify the content first, how is that done in the best way? Order is not an issue, its the action, view or need to sign.

Why does the 21 CFR Part 11 eSignature stamp show a different date/time than the time/date of signature on the certification of completion?  It looks like the stamp is defaulting to when the signature was accepted originally instead of when the document is signed.
