Transitioning your document-centric business processes from paper to fully electronic is not ‘one size fits all’, which is why we chose to focus on providing more configuration options and work flow flexibility in our latest release. Based on feedback from the inaugural meeting of our User Group, the product team went to work adding new features requested by the users. The majority of requests centered on adding more configuration options for signers and dealing with ancillary documents within SmartSign Web. Below I’ve written about just a few of the 85 new features and enhancements available in the 6.6 release coming this May!

Wet-Ink Signed Documents – Many of our customer’s transactions contain multiple documents that require signature, and sometimes there are regulatory, risk, or government agency requirements to submit a paper document with written signatures on one or more of those documents. SmartSign Web now allows you to flag a document or documents for wet-ink signature in the electronic transaction. The signer will be prompted to print and sign the document and you can provide additional instructions on where to send the paper signed documents. All other documents will be electronically signed and protected in the Trusted Repository. Additionally, SmartSign Web will record the user’s print action in the audit trail of each wet-ink signed document.

Signer Attached Documents – Many times there are ancillary, or supplementary documents needed from the signer in order to continue a business process – beyond simply the capture of signatures. Now you can configure SmartSign Web to prompt your signers to upload scanned documents into the package. Uploaded documents may be flagged as required or optional, depending on your business process. Uploaded documents are automatically added to the electronic transaction and stored in the Trusted Repository alongside the electronically signed documents.

New Signature Collection Modes – SmartSign Web now offers you the ability to configure the method in which signers enter their signatures in the signing room. The familiar all-in-one mode allows the signer to enter multiple signatures in a single collection form, which is great for internal or repeat signers that want to quickly complete the process. The new interactive collection mode requires your signer to click on “sign here” blocks within each document to enter their signature. The interactive collection mode also enables you to turn on (or off) a quick navigation feature that allows the signers to easily navigate between signature blocks and initial areas. SmartSign Web remembers the signers typed signature, uploaded image signature, or written signature from a signing pad as the user navigates between the signature areas.

As the gap between web applications and traditional desktop applications continues to narrow, advanced web-based user interface components based on their desktop counterparts have become more prevalent. One such component is the ability to drag-and-drop files, images, and various other objects into a desired location. Drag-and-drop functionality has long been integrated into traditional graphical desktop environments and applications and is now considered to be a standard expectation in web-based applications.

The new 5.4 release of eOriginal SmartSign® Web ushers in a new era of usability in web-based electronic signature tools. SmartSign Web now enables a document originator to quickly and easily create, resize, and position signature locations via an intuitive browser-based drag-and-drop interface, leveraging the robust jQuery UI library. Defining a signature location has never been easier than the simple 1-2-3 process of entering signature information, clicking the add button, and moving the signature block to the desired location on the page of the document. As an added feature, SmartSign Web also enables an originator to store previously mapped signature locations and signature types for quick and easy reuse in commonly used documents.

Drag-and-drop signature mapping is just one of the great new features in the 5.4 release of the eCore product suite geared to help you cut costs, streamline your paperless process, and help your company “go-green” with eOriginal.

More updates to come….
