Set Custom Signing Order

By default, when a signature request has multiple recipients, all recipients will be notified of the request at the same time and the recipients can sign in any order. However, if the document needs to be seen and signed in a specific order, Nitro Sign allows the option to set a custom signing order. The signing order lets you control the order in which recipients receive and sign documents. With Set signing order enabled, you can set up a simple sequential routing order, where each recipient signs in a specified order and is not notified until the previous recipient has completed their action.

Accelerate the signing process with unlimited custom signature requests!

To access Nitro Sign:

Go to https://cloud.gonitro.com and log in with your email and password.


Setting a Custom Signing Order:

1.  From the Home dashboard, click Send for Signature, at the top right hand corner.

2.  Select a document from your computer or a  storage location and upload the document for signature.

3.  Enter the first recipient’s name and email, then click Add.

4.  Drag and drop the requested signature fields to the appropriate position(s) in the document.

5.  To add more than one signer to the signature request, click Add Recipient from the left-hand panel, and repeat Steps 3 & 4 to add signature fields for the additional recipients.

6.  Check Set signing order to enforce sequential signing, meaning Recipient #1 will receive the document first and Recipient #2 will not receive the document until it has been signed by Recipient #2.  Click Continue in the bottom right corner to review the prepared document.

 

TIP: If the Set signing order box is not checked, all recipients will receive the document at the same time (in parallel).

7.  You will be taken the Review screen, where you can review the document recipients and the prepared document before sending.  You can customize the message and signature line of the signature request email and CC additional recipients who will get view-only access to the document.

8. Click Request Signature to send the document out for signature.  A notification at the top right hand corner will notify you that the document has been sent for signing.

Note: Your recipients do not need a Nitro Sign account in order to sign the document. They are able to sign the document on their mobile, tablet device, laptop, or personal computer without a Nitro Sign account.
