configured correctly and the EchoSign API Key is correct, you will get a message letting you know that the
API Key is Valid.
11. The solution configuration screen also allows controlling whether senders can upload documents from
their desktop when sending documents for signature and/or whether senders can attached reports when
sending documents for signature. By default both the options are enabled and available to the sender at
time of send. Depending on the organization’s business processes, administrators can choose to disable
one of these options. CRM Reports must be enabled on your instance to allow using them during the
signature workflow.
Installing Adobe EchoSign Activity Feeds
Adobe EchoSign Activity Feeds are installed separately and after the main package has been installed. The Activity
Feed enables receiving real-time status updates for documents sent out for signature from Microsoft Dynamics
CRM through the record wall and allows CRM users to follow specific agreements to get notified when the status
of the agreement changes.
The solution can be installed by a Dynamics CRM 2011 account administrator; the administrator needs to
determine whether the Dynamics CRM 2011 version installed has support for the activity feeds. This is especially
important in the Dynamics CRM on-premise scenario.
