How to request for signatures

If you want to use a contract template to create the contract that you want to be signed, you must choose DocuSign when creating the template and set up the necessary fields in the template.
  1. Go to the details page of the relevant contract (Your AdButler > Contracts > Your Contract).
  2. Click Request Signatures in the upper-right of the page. The Request Signatures window will appear.

The Request Signatures button in a contract's details page

  1. Enter the name and email address of the person who needs to sign the contract then click on the + icon on the right of the field. Repeat as needed.

    Saved advertiser contacts will be listed in this step, allowing you to easily select them as signers.

Entering the name and email addresses of contract signers

  1. Tick Signing Order Required in the bottom right corner to specify the order in which the recipients will sign. (optional)

How to specify the signing order of a contract

  1. Click Next Step. A window with a copy of the contract document will appear.
  2. If you used a contract template to create the contract, skip to step 9. Otherwise, you'll need to configure the fields that need to be signed or filled in.

    From Available Fields, click and drag a field into its appropriate spot in the document.

Placing fields to fill and sign in a contract

  1. Edit the field's settings on the right hand menu accordingly, such as specifying which signer should fill or sign on that field. The settings may differ depending on the field.

Editing the settings of a contract field

  1. Click Next Step.
If a field turned red when you clicked Next Step, it means you did not properly configure that field's settings. Click on the field then edit its settings to proceed.
  1. Enter a subject and message for the request email that will be sent to the signers.

  2. Click Request Signatures to send the email.
