Welcome to EchoSign!

Before you begin using your EchoSign account, we’ve got some basics to run through. The purpose of this guide is to get you familiar with the different sections of EchoSign and the different functionality available.

This guide is outlined in such a way that as you move through the “chapters”, you’ll cover all of the important features and area of the application. By the end, you’ll be familiar with EchoSign and should be ready to go. Keep in mind, there are plenty of other use cases and ways to use the application that aren’t covered in this guide. Our knowledge base is an excellent resource for getting information on the other settings and processes that can be found in EchoSign.

Now sit back, login and let’s get you eSigning!

Common Processes

In this first section we will go over the common processes and workflows in EchoSign. These step by step guides will lead you through sending, managing agreements, and basic actions you can take on transactions.

Sending

Sending documents out for signature is probably what you’ll be doing the most. Fortunately, it’s also one of the easier processes in EchoSign.

Below is a step-by-step guide on sending out an agreement. Ideally you will want to send a test to an alternate email address you have access to, when trying this out. Alternatively, you can follow along if you have an agreement to send out to someone.

Only I Sign

This process is exactly as it’s named. This is used for situations where only you need to sign a document and have it sent to someone else.

Click Only I Sign on the Home page

This process can only be accessed form the Home page.

Enter recipient’s email addresses

This is who you plan on sending the document to. Make sure this is not the email address you use to login. EchoSign doesn’t like that.

Upload your document

Click the Upload button, navigate to the document you want to sign and send, and click Open.

Check the Preview option and click Next

Checking this option will take you to the drag and drop authoring environment to place fields for you to fill in.

Place fields

Drag necessary fields from the various tabs and drop them on the document.

Click Next

Easy enough…

Enter info and sign

Click into the fields and enter the information required. Click on the Signature Field to sign.

Apply your signature

Entering your name to generate your signature. Once you’re done, click the Apply button.

Complete and send

Once you’ve entered all of the information needed and signed, click the Click to e-sign button.

Bask in your awesomeness

The document has now been sent to the recipient. Take a break. You’ve earned it.

Single Signer

If you need a document signed by one individual, this is the process you’ll want to use. While this and the Only I Sign process are different, you’ll see quite a few of the steps are similar.

Navigate to the Send page

You can either click Send or click on the Get a Document Signed link to get to the Send page.

Enter signer’s email address

Enter the email address of the person you want to sign the document.

Upload your document

Click the Upload button, navigate to the document you want to sign and send, and click Open.

Check the Preview option and click Next

Checking this option will take you to the drag and drop authoring environment to place fields for you to fill in.

Place fields

Drag necessary fields from the various tabs and drop them on the document.

Click Send

Pretty easy, right?

Relish in your victory

Multiple Signers

Depending on your business requirements, you may need signatures for multiple people on one document. Not a problem, sending to multiple signers is just as easy as sending to one.

This process is exactly the same as sending an agreement to the same email address more than once. If two people share an email address, follow the same process as outlined below and just use the same email.

Navigate to the Send page

You can either click Send or click on the Get a Document Signed link to get to the Send page.

Enter the email addresses of the signers

By default, the signers will sign the document in the order they are entered here. You can rearrange them by clicking and dragging on the left side of the box with the email.

Upload your document

Click the Upload button, navigate to the document you want to sign and send, and click Open.

Check the Preview option and click Next

Checking this option will take you to the drag and drop authoring environment to place fields for you to fill in. Do you see a trend here?
