Has there ever been a time when you changed the formatting on a standard field, or created a drop-down field with a number of options and thought to yourself that you would want to use these fields on other envelopes or templates at any time? Docusign eSignature gives you the ability to do just that.

You can do this by creating Document Custom Fields. You can create them in a number of different ways.

  • You can create them as an Account Admin to use for yourself or share with other account users
  • As an account user, you can create document custom fields just for you as a user
  • You can also create Document Custom Fields during the envelope creation process

It is an easy process and you will see how easy in the following video:

 

Key Take-aways:

  • Document Custom Fields will definitely save you time where you have fields that you would normally have to format each time
  • As an Admin, Document Custom Fields can be shared account-wide so that other account users can use them

Additional Resources:
