Envelopes - Organize
Web Signatures

The Organize tab lets you remove a document from an envelope, change the order of the documents, designate a signature or initial field on a document as required or optional, designate a signer and more.

Column Heading Description
Expand All Select the Expand All check box to view signatory information pertaining to each document.
Action Check Box Select the check box on a document row and click Remove to remove the document. This column does not appear if your credit union uses IMMeSign.
Document Name The name of the document.
Move Up Click the up and down arrows to change the order that the documents will appear in the envelope. Click the up arrow to move the document above the previous document in the list.
Move Down Click the up and down arrows to change the order that the documents will appear in the envelope. Click the down arrow to move the document below the next document in the list.
Type Use the drop-down list to designate a signature or initial field on a document as required or optional. The valid options are Signature Required, Signature Optional, Initial Required, and Initial Optional. When mapping and preparing your documents to process, Document Preparation will read the document text and determine if the signature line is for a signature or for initials. In addition, the document text may allow Document Preparation to determine if the signature/initial is required or optional. The Type column displays the default value, but may be changed on a case by case basis. For example, the signature line for Credit Life Insurance may be Signature Optional as a default, but depending on the needs of the member the credit union employee may change it to Signature Required.
Signature Reference Determine the signature or initial field location on the document. When mapping and preparing your documents for use, Document Preparation will read the document text to determine a description of the signature or initial lines. For example, if signature lines are designated for the primary member, the Signature Reference is Primary Member. When there is more descriptive information, Signature Reference may state, Authorization to revoke Stop Payment, etc.
Name Use the drop-down list to designate a signer for a specific field on a document. When mapping and preparing your documents for use, Document Preparation will attempt to determine the member name to sign or initial on specific line of the document. For example, when the primary member should sign, Document Preparation maps the signature line to the primary member information in Portico. Sometimes, mapping cannot determine which member should sign or initial on an particular line on a document. Often there could be multiple people that are applicable signers. In these cases, a drop-down list containing possible options appears. Make your selection from the drop-down list, or simply enter a name to associate to the signature or initial line of the document.
