eSigning allows your clients to sign important paperwork online. Your agency is able to manage the progress of your eSign documents, view completed documents, as well as provide an audit trail in the corresponding timeline.
Note
- In order to use the eSigning functionality, the first step is to Activate PropertyFile for your agency
- The second step is to Activate the PropertyFile eSigning module
To set your documents up to be used with eSigning, you need to add eSigning merge codes to your new or existing letter templates.
- Click Tools on the main toolbar
- In the dropdown menu, click Templates and admin
- On the side menu, under App Tools, click Letter & Stationery Templates
- Click the Letter Template you want to edit for eSigning
- The Letter Template opens. Position your cursor in the area of your letter template where you’d like the esignature merge code to appear. Either click Merge code on the toolbar, or, press # on your keyboard
- The merge code search box opens. Type eSignature to view the available eSignature merge codes
(#esignature_guarantor#, #esignature_landlord#, #esignature_tenant#, #esignature_vendor# - a description identifying more details of each merge code appears with each code) - Click on your required merge code. It will now appear in the position of your cursor on the template
- Click Save
Each eSignature merge code forms a block of contacts, for example, when the #esignatures_tenant# is included in a document, the document will return ALL the respective tenants on the tenancy.
Note
If your Letter Template contains a table, make sure that you’re putting the eSignature merge code outside of the table, or remove the table completely
