Use pre-set tags in documents

@John van L. - DocuSign uses what are called "Anchor Tags" (sometimes referred to as "Text Tags") to achieve the same functionality as AdobeSign's tags.

• DocuSign anchor tags are defined using the \[*\] format.
• For example: \s1\ would be an anchor tag for the first signer to place a signature.
• Once the document is uploaded, DocuSign will automatically detect the anchor tags.
  You can then assign roles to these tags. For example, if \s1\ is used for the first signer's signature, you would assign it to Signer 1.

Here’s a breakdown of common anchor tags you might use:

• Signature Field: \s1\ for Signer 1, \s2\ for Signer 2, etc.
• Initials: \i1\ for Initials of Signer 1, \i2\ for Initials of Signer 2, etc.
• Date Signed: \d1\ for Date signed by Signer 1, \d2\ for Date signed by Signer 2, etc.

Hey John, you need to save your tags as custom fields. This allows you to define tag properties and the anchor text Docusign should look for to auto place the fields where appropriate.
