I’m trying to set up an envelope with multiple signature/initial fields in a single document for one person. However, during signing, the system requires the signer to authenticate and log in again for each signature or initial, which is very frustrating. Is there a way to authenticate the signer once at the start of the document and allow them to complete all signature/initial fields before finishing, instead of repeatedly asking them to log in and authenticate each time?

Who has the authority to change this setting (if such an option is available), and would it still remain compliant with Part 11 requirements?

Hello ​@anil_kumar2,

Thanks for reaching out here in the Docusign Community—great to have you here!

With Part 11 documents, there is no option to authenticate only once for all signature and initial fields. However, with Rapid Part 11 Signing, authenticating only twice is possible. This feature allows signers to authenticate when accessing the envelope and again before completing the envelope, which means they only need to authenticate twice for multiple signature fields.

The ability to change the signing experience settings, including enabling Rapid Part 11 Signing, typically lies with the administrator of the Part 11 account. 

Both the Original Part 11 Signing and Rapid Part 11 Signing options are designed to meet the legal and regulatory obligations under 21 CFR Part 11. Therefore, using Rapid Part 11 Signing remains compliant with these requirements, as it still ensures that signers authenticate appropriately during the signing process.
