Prepare Document Modal (Quick Sign)

Preparing a document involves adding fields on the document and defining their attributes. You can prepare a document by either:

  • auto scanning fields and manually customizing it, if required.
  • manually adding fields to a document.

Note: Our templates will have the fields already prepared. You can customize it as required.

After you have completed setting up Send and Sign in the Fill or Sign modal and click Continue, the Prepare Document modal displays. The right panel displays the Roles and Form Fields on the document assigned to a role.

Scan for Fields

If your document has field labels on it, you can save time and effort of preparing the document (adding form fields) by using our intelligent fields extractor to do the work for you. It scans the document, identifies the fields on it, and places appropriate form fields close to the field labels.

    • Manually add more fields or delete the unwanted ones.
    • Change the role to which a field is assigned.
    • Change the type (Field Type) of the field.
    • Switch on/off the toggle for whether each field should be required or not.
