Document Listing

The document listing screen appears when the user clicks on the 'Documents' option from the navigation panel. The 'Documents' screen lists all the documents available to the user. When you click on a document, the information and related actions appear in the information panel.

Components of the 'Documents' screen

Search bar: The search bar allows you to search documents. You can also use advanced search by applying filtration criteria.
Folders: The folders button allows you to manage the default folder, custom folders, archived folder, and shared folders.
Sign a new document: Click the "Sign a New Document" button to start a new workflow.
Status Filter: The "Status Filter" bar shows the count of documents falling into different categories based on their statuses.
Status Filter
Count
Action Required
Shows the aggregate count of "Pending" and "Declined" documents.
Awaiting Others
Shows the aggregate count of "In-progress" documents.
Completed
Shows the aggregate count of "Completed" documents.
Others
Shows the aggregate count of "Approved", "Draft", "Signed", and "Updated" documents.
Expiring in 7 Days
Shows the aggregate count of pending document packages whose viewing access is about to expire in 7 days for the logged-in user.
Document listing: Lists all the documents available to the user. The "Owner" filter has the option to list these documents based on whether the document owner is "You", "Others", or "All".

A record in the document listing is called a 'Document Package'. A document package may contain a single or multiple documents to be signed.

Information/details on document listing:

Document: The name of the document package. Clicking on a document package displays various details and actions associated with the document package, in the information panel. If there is a red notification dot next to the package name, it represents that either:
- The document package is either newly sent to you for collaboration, or
- There is any change (i.e. signed/ updated/ reviewed/ annotated/ form filled by other recipient/ owner themselves) in the document package after you have collaborated in the workflow.
Status: The status of the document package, i.e. draft, in-progress, pending, signed, declined, approved, updated, completed, or expiring in 7 days.
Owner: The owner of the document package.
Last Updated: The date on which the document package was last modified, i.e. created, shared, form filled, signed, declined, etc.
Pagination footer: To help navigate between document packages.

Sorting documents

By default, your latest document packages are displayed at the top of the list. You can sort them on the basis of their title, status, owner, and last-updated. To sort your documents list click the parameter once to sort the list in ascending order, and click the same parameter again to sort the list in descending order.

Filtering documents

By default, all your document packages are listed in the "Inbox" folder. You can choose to filter them on the basis of their statuses and folders.

Click on the 'Folder' button, select a folder, and then filter based on status from the "Status Filter" options to view the respective list of documents.

Organising documents

By default, all your document(s) packages are listed in the "Inbox" folder. However, you can create custom folders to organize them as required and move your document into a custom folder .

Moving documents into shared folders

Shared folders work on the principle of delegating your document processing authority to a group of collaborators. A shared folder owner may create a shared folder and workflow documents in it so that these documents can be processed by any of the nominated collaborators on behalf of the shared folder owner in their absence.

Pagination

By default, up to 10 document packages are displayed in the main table. However, if you want to access the documents that exist toward the back of the table, just click the 'Next' button in the pagination footer, this will take you to the next page. Alternatively, you can also move to a specific page by clicking the '1 of X pages' option, in the pagination footer.

Document interactions

Certain document operations can be performed even without opening a document. For this you need to simply select the document from the document listing and perform your required operation (i.e. preview, download, delete, rename, print, recall, etc.). There are multiple ways to select or open a document, i.e.:

Based on their statuses, the folder items/ documents can be tracked through their respective status folders (i.e. Draft, In Progress, Pending, etc.).

Manage the archive folder

SigningHub enables a document owner to move his Completed and Declined documents to the archive folder. The 'Archive' folder appears if the 'DATA-ARCHIVING' module is enabled in the license and the 'Archiving' feature is enabled in the service plan. However, you can freely move your files from one folder to another, and can also move them back to their previous folder. Once a document has been moved to the archive, the storage consumption will reflect the deduction of the document size.

The user is allowed to perform the following actions on an archived document:

Download the document
Delete the document
Comment on the document
Print the document
View the workflow details of the document
View the workflow history of the document
View the workflow timeline of the document

The archived documents will be archived at the provided directory path in the Data Settings. The archived documents will be available within the "Documents" folder in the directory path. Each archived document package will have an individual folder named as per the document package ID.

Manage shared folders

A shared folder is a special kind of folder through which you can delegate your document processing authority to a group of users. After creating a shared folder, specify the users with whom you want to share your authority and (which you own, i.e. Draft, In Progress, Declined and Completed) to the shared folder. The specified users may then fully collaborate in all the shared folder documents on behalf of the '' and are therefore termed as the 'Collaborators' of a shared folder.

A collaborator can be:

An enterprise user of the same enterprise to which the shared folder owner belongs
An enterprise user of another enterprise
An individual user
A guest user

A shared folder fosters a collaborative team environment where members can access the same set of privileges and manage team documents together.

The ability to manage shared folders—such as creating, editing, or deleting them—depends on your assigned enterprise user role. If you wish to utilize this feature, please ask your Enterprise Admin to enable it in your . However, for collaborators, this specific role provision is not necessary. Collaborators can effectively work within a shared folder but cannot create their own shared folders.

Privileges of a shared folder owner

They can create multiple shared folders as required.
They can add the collaborators of their choice to their shared folders, who can process their workflow documents on behalf of the shared folder owner.
They can move their documents (Draft, In-progress, Declined and Completed) to their shared folders to share them with collaborators.
They can edit their shared folders.
They can delete their shared folders.
They can see the actual document activity logs as performed by the collaborators.

Privileges of a shared folder collaborator

They can process the shared folder documents on behalf of the shared folder owner, i.e.:
- Add their Draft documents to a shared folder
- Share the Draft documents
- Send reminders to the next recipients
- Sign the documents
- Review the documents
- Update the documents
- Decline the documents
- Add initials
- Add in-person signatures
- Fill in the form fields
- Accept the legal notices
- Update the level of assurance of a "Signature" field or an "In-Person Signature" field, while the status of the document is, "In-Progress" and "Pending".
- In short, they can perform all those workflow-related activities that can be performed by the actual document owner.
In the document logs, the recipients will see that these activities are performed by the document owner (shared folder owner), while they were actually performed by the collaborators.

View shared folders

You can view the shared folders available to you (The shared folders in which you have been added as a collaborator, and the shared folders you created). The shared folders can be identified based on their icons:

If due to any reason bulk signing fails for a document, a summary dialogue will appear to show the reason for failure, and a caution icon will appear adjacent to the button.
If your textual signature is already filled in with your fixed name, it is because the signature text editing is restricted in your enterprise role. Your signature text can be edited under the "Signature" tab in 'Personal Configurations.
Choose a desired appearance for your signature. The options being populated in the "Signature Appearance Design" field are the allowed appearances to your enterprise user role. You can also see this list in your signature appearance. The signature appearance will be auto-filled and cannot be changed if it's restricted from enterprise roles signature settings to use a specific appearance for the selected Signing Server.
In case of bulk signing using a signature pad, the "Remember the captured signature for use throughout this document" option will not appear.
Upon clicking the "Sign" button, if any 'Authentication Method' is configured for the selected signing capacity under enterprise roles, an authentication dialogue box will appear. If no 'Authentication Method' is configured for the selected signing capacity under enterprise roles, the document signing process will start. In the list of documents selected for bulk signing, all the signature fields with the same level of assurance that matches the selected 'Signing Capacity', in the above step, will be signed.
If you have selected CSC Signing Server to perform signature and "Authorisation Code" is selected as the "Auth Type" in CSC Connector, then on clicking the 'Sign' button you will be shown an additional authorisation option, depending upon the authorisation settings configured in your CSC Server:
- Implicit
- Explicit (One Time Password (OTP)/PIN Number)
- OAuth Authorisation Code
All unregistered users using the CSC Signing Server to perform signatures will be shown an additional authorisation option, as mentioned above, upon clicking the 'Sign' button.
If "Client Credentials" is selected as the "Auth Type" in the CSC Connector and a valid CSC User ID has been configured for the user, then on clicking the 'Sign' button, no additional authorisation will be required for signing.
There could be a possibility that both the options of OTP and PIN number are configured as a signing time authentication by your CSC Server.
In case the Level of Assurance of a "Signature" field is set to "Simple Electronic Signature", then only Document Signing Authentication will work.
In case of signing of XML document, optionally you may also specify "Commitment Type Indication". SigningHub populates values of this field in editable mode from your Personal Signing Details. When specified they will become a permanent part of your XML signature.
In the case of OTP authentication, the OTP method will be as per the configured OTP method in the document owner's service plan.
- "(Email)", in case only "Email OTP" is configured in the service plan
- "(SMS)", in case only "SMS OTP" is configured in the service plan
- "(SMS and Email)", in case both "Email OTP" and "SMS OTP" are configured in the service plan
If the user has authenticated once against an "Authentication Method" which is configured for a "Signing Capacity", the user will not be prompted to re-authenticate the same "Authentication Method" even if it is configured against a different "Signing Capacity". In case a different "Authentication Method" has been configured against the new "Signing Capacity", the user will be prompted to authenticate against it.

Based on your signing details, the bulk signing feature supports both the server-side signing and client-side signing methods.
SigningHub supports the "Bulk Signing" operation through Remote Authorised Signing (RAS) as well. This can be done by sending a single authorisation request from your mobile device running a SigningHub mobile app. For more details about what is Remote Authorised Signing, see the FAQs on Partner Portal.
Font colour will not be applicable in Signature Appearance while performing signature on any PDF/A document with "CMYK" colour space to ensure PDF/A compliance.
Bulk signing duly supports signing Word files and XML files.
If the workflow type is "Only-Me" and the document package has 2 documents each having a signature field with a different level of assurance, when trying to "Bulk Sign and Share"; the first document will be signed and upon re-initiating the signing process the "Status" of the workflow will prompt an error message. Thus to sign such workflow, the user will have to restart the bulk signing process.
SigningHub produces the "XAdES-Baseline-LTA" ETSI-compliant signatures for XML documents but for backward compatibility with ADSS Server version 6.9 or less SigningHub will produce the XAdES Extended signature on base of key "ES-X-L" added in web.config file.
You must agree to all the legal notices configured with the selected documents before signing them.
The system will prompt for OTP or password before showing the document preview if it is enabled for any of the selected documents.
You can sign up to 50 documents in one go through bulk signing. Contact sales if you are looking to extend this limit.
Whenever a pending document is digitally signed, the digital signatures quota of the respective document owner's account is consumed, and hence their available count is decreased by one.
The availability of the 'Bulk Sign' feature is subject to your subscribed Service Plan and Enterprise Role. If you cannot find this option in your account, please ask your Enterprise Admin to upgrade your service plan and enable it in your Role.
In case the Level of Assurance of a "Signature" field is set to "Electronic Signature", then Signing Servers will not appear on the signing dialogue box.
SigningHub supports the "Bulk Signing" operation with the selected signing capacity for a particular level of assurance similar to the one configured by the document owner for the signature field.
You cannot perform 'Bulk Signing' without adding an attachment if a mandatory attachment field has been assigned to you.
In the case of Simple Electronic Signature (SES), an enterprise user will only be able to use Signature Appearance Design, if the "Allow users to use the signature appearance for Simple Electronic Signatures" check box is enabled in the Signature Appearance Preferences, against the user's role.
In the case of Simple Electronic Signature (SES), for an individual user, the Signature Appearance Design drop-down is available but by default, no signature appearance is selected. In order to use the signature appearance the user can select any allowed signature appearance from the drop-down.
In the "Sign" and "Apply In-Person Signature" dialogue box, the user's default location will be shown, as configured in the user's personal profile. In the case of an unregistered user:
- if the auto-detect location checkbox is checked, and the GeoIP connector has been configured, the system will pick the location and time zone using the GeoIP connector.
- If either the auto-detect location checkbox is unchecked, the GeoIP connector has not been configured, or the GeoIP connector is faulty or not functional, the system will use the location and time zone of the document owner.
Based on the type of users, the following mentioned signature appearances will be available:
- In the case of an enterprise user, all the signature appearances are allowed in the user role.
- In the case of an individual user, all the signature appearances are allowed in the user's service plan.
- In the case of an unregistered user:
  - If the document owner is an enterprise user, all the signature appearances are allowed in the document owner's user role.
  - If the document owner is an individual user, all the signature appearances are allowed in the document owner's service plan.
In the case of a Simple Electronic Signature (SES) signature stamp, against the "Signed by" attribute:
- the system will show the name of the user as configured in the user's profile in their personal profile.
- in case of an unregistered user, the system will show the name of the unregistered user as saved in the document owner's contacts.
In the case of Electronic Seal (eSeal), the user will now be able to select the allowed signature appearance design, signing capacity, contact information and location.
The eID Easy Signing Server does not support bulk signing.

Bulk share

SigningHub provides an efficient, fast and easy way to share a pile of 'Draft' documents (up to 50) in one go. For this, you can use the "Send selected documents" option to send off multiple documents.

However, SigningHub does not allow to send off the documents, if they have:

Incomplete signature fields (i.e. signature field has not been defined for each signer/ placeholder)

If the workflow is recalled by the document owner and shared again, the 'Timeline' tab will show the recipients:
1. Who had processed the document before the recall
2. Who had processed the document after sharing it again
3. Who has the document been shared with

Comments

SigningHub allows you to post comments (up to 255 characters) in a document workflow to accommodate any extra communication between the stakeholders (i.e. document owner & configured recipients). The posted comments are maintained separately in a workflow and do not become part of a completed/ signed PDF document. Posting comments is subject to your assigned enterprise user role. If you are willing to use this provision, ask your Enterprise Admin to enable it in your Role.

Start a new signing process

SigningHub gives you the liberty to start a new workflow from any stage (status) of an ongoing document workflow. This will create a fresh copy of the previous workflow document with all the entered details (signatures, initials, filled forms, etc.), and will allow the document owner/ recipient to configure a new workflow on it. The previous workflow will continue triggering without any interruption as per its configuration. Consider the following points before using the "Start New Workflow" option:

Each workflow configuration will need to be defined from scratch in the new workflow.
The default workflow type will be the one as defined in your role. You can change it as required.
The signed signature (electronic & digital) fields, and filled-in initials, in-persons and form fields in the document will be available in the new workflow.
The unsigned Digital signature fields in the document will be displayed as unassigned signature fields in the new workflow.
The unsigned Electronic signature fields in the document will not be available in the new workflow.
The attachments will be available in the new workflow.
The comments, annotations, unfilled initials & in-persons, and unfilled form fields will not be available in the new workflow.
A recipient cannot start a new workflow, if any document accessibility permission is configured for him in the previous workflow i.e. document opening with a password, document opening with OTP, document accessibility duration, etc.

Start a new workflow

Click the "Documents" option in the navigation panel.
Select a document and click the 'Start new workflow' button in the information panel.
The new workflow screen will appear with a fresh copy of the document (added).
Configure the workflow details as required, and click the "Send" button to share the workflow.

The unsigned signature fields (from the previous workflow) in the new workflow will be displayed as unassigned signature fields. You may assign these fields to other recipients, or leave them unassigned to hide them from the final signed document copy.
A recipient cannot start a new workflow, if any document access security is configured with the document package in the previous workflow i.e. document opening with password, document opening with OTP, document access duration, etc.
Whenever a document is shared, the workflow quota of the respective document owner's account is consumed, and hence the available count is decreased by one.
The availability of the "Start New Workflow" option is dictated by your Enterprise Admin through the Enterprise Role configuration.

Recall

SigningHub allows you to your In-Progress and Pending document(s), provided it is . This is useful in cases where you have accidentally initiated a premature workflow or document sign-off is no longer required for any reason. You can recall an in-progress or pending document at any stage of a workflow, i.e. start, middle, just before completing, etc. The document recalling feature is available to the only.

Recall an in-progress document

Click the "Documents" option in the navigation panel.
Select the in-progress document and click the "Recall" button in the right panel.
You can even select multiple documents.
A confirmation dialog will appear, click the "Yes" option.
- The selected document(s) will be recalled.
- Their workflow(s) will be terminated and the document(s) will be reverted to the "Draft" status.
- SigningHub will increment the available workflow quota of the document owner's account by one.
- An intimation email will be sent from the document owner to the immediate next configured recipient (in case of a sequential workflow) or all the configured recipients (in case of a parallel or individual workflow), regarding the termination of the workflow.

Only those "Pending" documents will have the "Recall" option, in which the document owner is also a part of their workflow.
A document owner can recall up to 50 documents together in one go.
If you could not find the "Recall" option, this implies it is not to recall a document.

Evidence report

The "Workflow history" option provides a soft copy of workflow activities related to a selected document, which is sufficient for your own audit trail record. However, when you need to present these workflow details in hard copy as legal proof outside SigningHub, use a workflow evidence report. A Workflow Evidence Report entails the detailed logs of each SigningHub transaction performed within a document workflow. It is available to the respective only and is downloaded in PDF file. The PDF is also digitally signed by with an invisible PAdES-B-LT signature and can be used as legal proof outside SigningHub. So in case a recipient in the workflow repudiates their signature, or if there is any query related to the workflow, this report can resolve all such issues. However, viewing the Workflow Evidence Report is subject to your assigned enterprise user role. If you are willing to use this provision, ask your Enterprise Admin to enable it in your .

View the workflow evidence report of a document

Click the 'Documents' option in the navigation panel.
Select a completed document, and click the 'Evidence report' option in the information panel. The workflow evidence report will be downloaded to your local 'Downloads' folder as a PDF.

In the workflow evidence report, based on the selected delivery method for each recipient, either their email or mobile number shall be shown.
The workflow evidence report of a replicated workflow will show that the workflow was replicated.
The delivery method will also be displayed in the details of the applicable log items.
The workflow evidence report PDF contains invisible PAdES-B-LT or PAdES-B-LTA signatures according to the configurations in SigningHub Admin.
The workflow evidence report PDF is available for completed documents only.
The availability of the Workflow Evidence Report is subject to your subscribed service plan. If you cannot find this option, contact .
The workflow evidence report PDF contains unique identifier information subject to your subscribed Service Plan and for enterprise users as well as the .
On Linux systems, the Workflow Evidence Report does not display in Arial font by default; to view it in Arial, the font must be installed on the machine.

Replicate workflow

SigningHub now allows users to replicate workflows by applying the original workflow's details (recipients, permissions, post-processing, etc.) to a new workflow and prompting the user to upload the updated document. This feature saves the document owner from having to reconfigure workflow details. This feature is especially useful in cases where changes are required in a document and the workflow has to be re-initiated. The availability of the "Replicate Workflow" option is subject to the configurations of your user role. If you are willing to use this feature, please ask your Enterprise Admin to enable it in your Role.

A workflow can only be replicated by a document owner, or a shared folder collaborator, if it has any of the following statuses:

Draft
In-progress
Pending
Declined
Completed

Replicate a workflow

Click the "Documents" option in the navigation panel.
Select a document and click the "Replicate workflow" button in the information panel.
After workflow replication, it is mandatory for the documents to be re-uploaded. If the user chooses not to re-upload the documents, the workflow might not work as expected. The gray-dotted line around the document shows a document that needs to be re-uploaded. Click on the Re-upload button.
After uploading the document, the document owner can any of the settings that they wish to change, if any. Once done, click on the "Continue" button.
Perform the necessary actions, and share the workflow.

After workflow replication, the name of the template that was applied to the original document will not be visible next to the document name.
Optionally, a document can also be re-uploaded by:
- Clicking the three dots menu and clicking the "Re-upload" button.
- Upon clicking the re-upload button, the "Update Document" dialogue box will appear. Upload the document using your desired document upload method.

The uploaded document must have the same or more number of pages than the original document being replaced.
Depending on the configurations, there are three different ways to add a document to a workflow package:
1. Upload a document from your local machine.
2. Import a document from the SigningHub library. The Library contains your personal documents (and your enterprise documents in case you are an enterprise user).
3. Get a document directly from your cloud storage.
  - Get it from your Dropbox account, or
  - Get it from your Google Drive, or
  - Get it from your OneDrive.

When a workflow is being replicated, all the documents within the document package should be re-uploaded.
The replicate workflow option will not be available for the Word or XML document.
If the document owner does not re-upload the document, there is a possibility that the user may be able to see the existing signed fields, if any, on the document.
If the document page rotation of the original and the re-uploaded document is not the same, it could disturb the location of the fields on the re-uploaded document.
If a QR code has become part of the original document, the replicated QR code field will be added at the 10x10 position in the re-uploaded document.
If the document owner does not re-upload the document, a message will be shown on the document viewer prompting the user to re-upload the document.
When replicating a workflow the following setting will be replicated:
- Recipients:
  - Users
  - Groups
  - Placeholders
  - Electronic Seals
- Recipient Permissions
- Recipients' Access Security
- Recipients' Reminder Settings
- Post Processing Settings
- Email Message
- Workflow Types and Settings
- Documents
  - Certify Policy Settings
- Fields:
  - Signatures
  - In-person Signature
  - Initials
  - Name
  - Email
  - Job Title
  - Company
  - Date
  - Text Field
  - Text Area
  - Radio
  - Check Box
  - QRCode
  - Attachment
- Comments and Document Comments

Download

You can download any document from your SigningHub account for your record, or when you require it for any reason outside SigningHub. In case a package contains a single document, it is downloaded to your local Downloads folder in a PDF file, while in case of multiple documents in a package, it is downloaded in a zip file. You can also select multiple document rows for downloading as long as their aggregated size is less than 500 MB. However apart from your own documents (i.e. the documents with the Draft, In-progress and Completed statuses), the effectivity of the download option is subject to your document downloading permissions as configured by the respective Document Owner. Hence, if you don't have the downloading permissions for a (Pending/ Signed/ Approved/ Edited/ Declined) document, you can't download it.

Download a document

Click the "Documents" option in the navigation panel.
Select the required document and click the "Download" button in the information panel.

If there is a single document in the package, the document is downloaded to your local Downloads folder in a PDF file, however, if the package contains multiple documents, it is downloaded in a zip file. Similarly, if you have selected multiple documents, it is also downloaded in a zip file.

You can download multiple documents together up to 500Mbs size. They are downloaded in a zip file.

Rename

SigningHub allows you (Document Owner) to rename your documents package as long as its status is either "Draft", "In Progress" or "Pending". If you do not rename a package, the package name is automatically determined based on the names of all the documents in it, separated by a comma. SigningHub will keep appending the package name in the same way (i.e. document name and a comma), upon adding a new document in it. Once you rename a package SigningHub will stop appending its name further, to add new documents in it.

Rename a document

Click the "Documents" option in the navigation panel.
Select the desired document and click the "Rename" button in the information panel.
Specify the new name of your document(s) package, and click the "Save changes" button. The package will be renamed accordingly. However the names of documents in the package will still remain the same. See details how to rename a document.

Move to folder

By default, all your documents are listed in the "Inbox" folder. SigningHub enables you to create custom folders and shared folders to organise your documents as required. You can freely move your files from one folder to another, and can also move them back to their previous folder. However, as a shared folder collaborator, you can only move Draft documents to the shared folders.

Move documents to a folder

Click the 'Documents' option in the navigation panel.
Select the documents that you wish to move.
Click the 'Move to folder' option in the information panel.
Select the folder in which you want to move the document, and click on the 'Submit' button.

You can select a folder to view its documents.
If the "Archiving" feature is enabled in the service plan, the "Archive" folder appears in the folders options.
Completed and Declined documents can be moved to the Archive folder.
You can click the archive folder to view its documents.
You can click a shared folder to view its documents.
As a document owner, you can only move your Completed and Declined documents to the archive folder.
As a shared folder collaborator, you can only move Draft documents to the shared folders.
Only those shared folders will be available for selection that are related to you, i.e.:
- The shared folders you own, and
- The shared folders in which you are a collaborator.

Print

SigningHub always emphasizes the need for paperless document transactions and encourages organisations to develop the "think before you ink" culture. However, if you still want to have a hard copy of your document, you can print it from your SigningHub account. Apart from your documents (i.e. the documents with the Draft, In-progress and Completed statuses), the effectivity of the print option is subject to your document printing permissions as configured by the respective Document Owner. Hence, if you don't have printing permissions for a (Pending/ Signed/ Approved/ Edited/ Declined) document, you can't print it.

Print a document

Click the "Documents" option in the navigation panel.
Select the document and click the "Print" button in the information panel.
A provision will appear through which you can set your preferences to print the document.

Delete

When you delete a document, it is purged from your SigningHub account and cannot be recovered again. You can delete any document(s) from your documents list, provided it is allowed in your role. But before deleting a document, you need to know the following considerations:

Sequential

The document will be declined, and workflow will either stop at that point or continue to the next signer, based on the workflow configuration (i.e. the "continue workflow on decline" option is enabled or not):

When the option is enabled, the document will be shown as "Declined" to the document owner from the recipient's account. However, the document is still moved to the next recipient in the workflow.
When the option is left disabled, the document will be shown as "Declined" to the document owner from the recipient's account, and the workflow is stopped.

After receiving it from a document owner

Pending

Parallel

The document will be declined, and workflow will either stop at that point or continue to the other recipients, based on the workflow configuration (i.e. the "continue workflow on decline" option is enabled or not):

When the option is enabled, the document will be shown as "Declined" to the document owner from the recipient's account. However, the document is still available for other recipients in the workflow.
When the option is left disabled, the document will be shown as "Declined" to the document owner from all the recipients' accounts and the workflow is stopped.

Deleting a document in "Draft", "Signed", "Approved", "Updated", "Completed, or "Declined" status does not have any impact on the workflow.

Delete a document

Click the "Documents" option in the navigation panel.
Select the document(s) that you want to delete and click the 'Delete' button in the information panel.
Click "Delete" on the confirmation dialogue.

If you cannot find the 'Delete' button in the information panel, this implies it is not allowed in your role to delete a document.

While a document is being processed, a circular percentage progress bar will appear next to it, to indicate the progress.
If any document can not be signed, the respective reason will be displayed, click on the 'Continue' button to continue signing the eligible documents. (You will be able to sign these documents individually after bulk signing.)
If a legal notice is configured with any of the selected documents, an 'I agree to all legal notice(s)' toggle will appear. Toggle it on to agree to the legal notice. It is mandatory to agree to the legal notices before proceeding to sign.
If any document has an initial field, then SigningHub will display a dialogue box to add your initials first.
If due to any reason bulk signing fails for a document, a summary dialogue will appear to show the reason for failure, and a caution icon will appear adjacent to the button.
If your textual signature is already filled in with your fixed name, it is because the signature text editing is restricted in your enterprise role. Your signature text can be edited under the "Signature" tab in 'Personal Configurations.
Choose a desired appearance for your signature. The options being populated in the "Signature Appearance Design" field are the allowed appearances to your enterprise user role. You can also see this list in your signature appearance. The signature appearance will be auto-filled and cannot be changed if it's restricted from enterprise roles signature settings to use a specific appearance for the selected Signing Server.
In case of bulk signing using a signature pad, the "Remember the captured signature for use throughout this document" option will not appear.
Upon clicking the "Sign" button, if any 'Authentication Method' is configured for the selected signing capacity under enterprise roles, an authentication dialogue box will appear. If no 'Authentication Method' is configured for the selected signing capacity under enterprise roles, the document signing process will start. In the list of documents selected for bulk signing, all the signature fields with the same level of assurance that matches the selected 'Signing Capacity', in the above step, will be signed.
If you have selected CSC Signing Server to perform signature and "Authorisation Code" is selected as the "Auth Type" in CSC Connector, then on clicking the 'Sign' button you will be shown an additional authorisation option, depending upon the authorisation settings configured in your CSC Server:
- Implicit
- Explicit (One Time Password (OTP)/PIN Number)
- OAuth Authorisation Code
All unregistered users using the CSC Signing Server to perform signatures will be shown an additional authorisation option, as mentioned above, upon clicking the 'Sign' button.
If "Client Credentials" is selected as the "Auth Type" in the CSC Connector and a valid CSC User ID has been configured for the user, then on clicking the 'Sign' button, no additional authorisation will be required for signing.
There could be a possibility that both the options of OTP and PIN number are configured as a signing time authentication by your CSC Server.
In case the Level of Assurance of a "Signature" field is set to "Simple Electronic Signature", then only Document Signing Authentication will work.
In case of signing of XML document, optionally you may also specify "Commitment Type Indication". SigningHub populates values of this field in editable mode from your Personal Signing Details. When specified they will become a permanent part of your XML signature.
In the case of OTP authentication, the OTP method will be as per the configured OTP method in the document owner's service plan.
- "(Email)", in case only "Email OTP" is configured in the service plan
- "(SMS)", in case only "SMS OTP" is configured in the service plan
- "(SMS and Email)", in case both "Email OTP" and "SMS OTP" are configured in the service plan
If the user has authenticated once against an "Authentication Method" which is configured for a "Signing Capacity", the user will not be prompted to re-authenticate the same "Authentication Method" even if it is configured against a different "Signing Capacity". In case a different "Authentication Method" has been configured against the new "Signing Capacity", the user will be prompted to authenticate against it.

Bulk Signing through Remote Authorised Signing (RAS)

Select 'Pending' and 'Draft' documents (up to 50), and click the "Sign selected documents" button in the information panel.
The bulk sign dialogue box will appear. It will list your documents based on the required actions.
Select the level of assurance for which a signing server has the Remote Authorized Signing configured.
Select the signing server against which Remote Authorized Signing has been configured.
Click on the 'Sign' button in the 'Sign' dialogue box.
An authentication request will be sent to your registered mobile device for remote authorisation. In case you want to withdraw the remote authorisation request, click on the "Cancel Request" button.
Run the SigningHub app (Android or iOS) on your mobile device and log in with the same account credentials through which you have logged in from the SigningHub web.
A popup will appear on your mobile device to authorise your signature through touchID or PIN. Upon authorisation, the document is signed.

Based on your signing details, the bulk signing feature supports both the server-side signing and client-side signing methods.
SigningHub supports the "Bulk Signing" operation through Remote Authorised Signing (RAS) as well. This can be done by sending a single authorisation request from your mobile device running a SigningHub mobile app. For more details about what is Remote Authorised Signing, see the FAQs on Partner Portal.
Font colour will not be applicable in Signature Appearance while performing signature on any PDF/A document with "CMYK" colour space to ensure PDF/A compliance.
Bulk signing duly supports signing Word files and XML files.
If the workflow type is "Only-Me" and the document package has 2 documents each having a signature field with a different level of assurance, when trying to "Bulk Sign and Share"; the first document will be signed and upon re-initiating the signing process the "Status" of the workflow will prompt an error message. Thus to sign such workflow, the user will have to restart the bulk signing process.
SigningHub produces the "XAdES-Baseline-LTA" ETSI-compliant signatures for XML documents but for backward compatibility with ADSS Server version 6.9 or less SigningHub will produce the XAdES Extended signature on base of key "ES-X-L" added in web.config file.
You must agree to all the legal notices configured with the selected documents before signing them.
The system will prompt for OTP or password before showing the document preview if it is enabled for any of the selected documents.
You can sign up to 50 documents in one go through bulk signing. Contact sales if you are looking to extend this limit.
Whenever a pending document is digitally signed, the digital signatures quota of the respective document owner's account is consumed, and hence their available count is decreased by one.
The availability of the 'Bulk Sign' feature is subject to your subscribed Service Plan and Enterprise Role. If you cannot find this option in your account, please ask your Enterprise Admin to upgrade your service plan and enable it in your Role.
In case the Level of Assurance of a "Signature" field is set to "Electronic Signature", then Signing Servers will not appear on the signing dialogue box.
SigningHub supports the "Bulk Signing" operation with the selected signing capacity for a particular level of assurance similar to the one configured by the document owner for the signature field.
You cannot perform 'Bulk Signing' without adding an attachment if a mandatory attachment field has been assigned to you.
In the case of Simple Electronic Signature (SES), an enterprise user will only be able to use Signature Appearance Design, if the "Allow users to use the signature appearance for Simple Electronic Signatures" check box is enabled in the Signature Appearance Preferences, against the user's role.
In the case of Simple Electronic Signature (SES), for an individual user, the Signature Appearance Design drop-down is available but by default, no signature appearance is selected. In order to use the signature appearance the user can select any allowed signature appearance from the drop-down.
In the "Sign" and "Apply In-Person Signature" dialogue box, the user's default location will be shown, as configured in the user's personal profile. In the case of an unregistered user:
- if the auto-detect location checkbox is checked, and the GeoIP connector has been configured, the system will pick the location and time zone using the GeoIP connector.
- If either the auto-detect location checkbox is unchecked, the GeoIP connector has not been configured, or the GeoIP connector is faulty or not functional, the system will use the location and time zone of the document owner.
Based on the type of users, the following mentioned signature appearances will be available:
- In the case of an enterprise user, all the signature appearances are allowed in the user role.
- In the case of an individual user, all the signature appearances are allowed in the user's service plan.
- In the case of an unregistered user:
  - If the document owner is an enterprise user, all the signature appearances are allowed in the document owner's user role.
  - If the document owner is an individual user, all the signature appearances are allowed in the document owner's service plan.
In the case of a Simple Electronic Signature (SES) signature stamp, against the "Signed by" attribute:
- the system will show the name of the user as configured in the user's profile in their personal profile.
- in case of an unregistered user, the system will show the name of the unregistered user as saved in the document owner's contacts.
In the case of Electronic Seal (eSeal), the user will now be able to select the allowed signature appearance design, signing capacity, contact information and location.
The eID Easy Signing Server does not support bulk signing.
