- If N (disabled) is selected, no CC options dropdown will become available in the envelope preparation page. CC recipients will receive a copy of the document before and after it is fully signed.
Using the CC options
When sending a document for signature, you have to fill out the recipients fields. There are three recipients type options: signer, CC, or prefill.
When the CC options setting is enabled, a dropdown becomes available for the sender to control which notifications the CC recipient should receive:
- Unsigned and signed: The CC recipient will receive a copy of the document when the signature request is sent and a copy of the final signed document.
- Unsigned: The CC recipient will only receive a copy of the document when the signature request is sent. The final signed document will not be emailed to the CC recipient.
- Signed: The CC recipient will only receive a copy of the final signed document. The copy of the unsigned document, when the signature request is sent, will not be emailed.
- Notifications only: The CC recipient will be notified when the document is sent for signature and when the signers sign it, but no copy of the document will be emailed.
- Notifications and Signed: The CC recipient will be notified when the document is sent for signature and when the signers sign it. A copy of the unsigned and signed documents will be emailed.
Note: The CC options dropdown will be greyed out for prefill and signer recipient types.
You can also view the selected option for the CC recipients in sent envelopes. Click on the Envelopes page, look for the corresponding envelope and expand the envelope data.
Set default signature control value to required
The Set default signature control value to Required setting provides you the ability to pre-set signature fields as required or not required when the field is added when preparing a document.
- If Y (enabled) is selected, the signature field will be pre-set as required by default when added to a document during the preparation stage. The signature field must then be filled out before the document is submitted by the signer.
- If N (disabled) is selected, the signature field will be pre-set as optional by default when added to a document during the preparation stage. The signer may submit the signature request without filling out the signature field.

Enable the dependencies feature
While preparing a document for electronic signature, the sender may want to add conditions to the signing process, so that if an action is performed in one fillable control field, additional actions will be required for other fillable control fields. The Dependencies feature allows you to create such conditional actions.
Read the following article to learn how to create Dependencies.
Available options for signature capture
The Available options for signature capture setting provides you the ability to determine whether the signer should be able to enter their signature either by typing, electronically writing their signature on the document using their touchpad/mouse or other device, or uploading an image of their signature.

- If Disable is selected, there will be no electronic signature indication under the signature on the signed document.
- If Enable with envelope ID is selected, the envelope ID will be indicated below the signature on the signed document.
- If Enable with time & date stamp is selected, the time and date will be indicated below the signature on the signed document.
Reference code
The Reference code setting gives you the option to add, at the time of sending a signature request, a specific code, email address, or both to be saved in the envelope data for that particular transaction.
This setting can be used if your company uses a certain internal code system to manage envelopes. This feature can also be used to list an email address that may be relevant or significant to this envelope but may otherwise not have a place to be included.
- If None is selected, when preparing a signature request, there will be no option to set a reference code or email. Consequently, no corresponding data will appear in the sent envelope in the Envelopes page.
- If Reference code only is selected, there will be an option to set a reference code when preparing a signature request. The reference code will appear in the corresponding envelope found in the Envelopes page.
- If Reference email only is selected, there will be an option to set a reference email when preparing a signature request. The reference email will appear in the corresponding envelope found in the Envelopes page.
- If Reference code and email is selected, there will be an option to set both, a reference code and a reference email, when preparing a signature request. The reference code and email will appear in the corresponding envelope found in the Envelopes page.
How to use and view the applied reference codes
When the setting is enabled, the corresponding fields will appear for you to fill them out when preparing an envelope for signature.
The entered reference code and/or reference email will be then reflected within the envelope data.
Allow users to align form fields
The Allow users to align fillable control fields setting provides you the option to align control fields while preparing a document to be sent for e-signature.
- If Y (enabled) is selected, the align button will be available when preparing a document for signature.
- If N (disabled) is selected, the align button will not be available when preparing a document for signature.
You can align fields as follows,
- Horizontally: to the right, center and left of the furthest selected field
- Vertically: to the top, middle, or bottom of the further selected field.
- Distribute horizontally: All selected fields are equally distributed horizontally within the space limits determined by the first and last fields.
- Distribute vertically: All selected fields are equally distributed vertically within the space limits determined by the first and last fields.

Signature request reply address
When someone receives an RSign email, they may need to reply to the sender. The Signature request-reply address setting determines what email address the recipient will see when they click on Reply.
- If no-reply@1.rsign.net is selected, the reply-to email address will be no-reply@1.rsign.net.
- If Sender’s email is selected, the reply-to email address will be the email of the sender.
Stamp watermark onto signers completed document
The Stamp watermark onto signer's completed document setting determines if a watermark will appear on the signed and completed document. Enabling a watermark can be useful to ensure the authenticity of a document and prevent potential tampering from happening.
- If Y (enabled) is selected, the configured watermark will appear in the final signed document.
- If N (disabled) is selected, no watermark will appear in the final signed document.
There are two watermark options: Text for sender and Text for all others.
Text for sender
The text entered in this option will determine the watermark text for the final signed document that is sent only to the original sender. The watermark will also be visible when downloading the signed document from the Envelopes page.
Text for all others
The text entered in this option will determine the watermark that recipients will see in the final signed document. This includes signers and recipients that were Cc’d but not the sender. It will appear diagonally across the page from lower left corner to the upper right one.
Enable click to sign
When reviewing or signing a signature request, the signer may be required to sign or add their initials in multiple places throughout the document. Enable click to sign helps them quickly fill in this information without having to re-enter it at every location. Click to sign captures the signature, initials, and name at the beginning of the signing process and applies those values with a simple mouse click, reducing time and expediting the signing process.
- If Y (enabled) is selected, the signer will be requested to enter their signature and initials at the beginning to subsequently use them during the signing process.
- If N (disabled) is selected, the feature will not available as part of the signing process.
Using click to sign when signing documents
When a document is opened for signing, by default the Click to sign window pops opens.
The document signing process can be completed by the signer just clicking on the respective yellow prompts. When the signer clicks on the prompt, the value already captured for that field will be filled in.
Post sending navigation page
The Post sending navigation page setting allows you to select where you should be redirected after sending a signature request.
You can choose to be redirected to the Home page or the Envelopes page. Envelopes page is selected by default.
Enable auto fill text controls of same labels
The Auto fill text controls of same label setting helps signers save time when filling out text control fields which have been assigned to the same signer with the same label: once the first field is populated, the other fields are autocompleted.
- If Y (enabled) is selected, if the same field with the same label is requested to be filled by the signer multiple times, they will have to enter the requested information only once. The subsequent fields will be autocompleted.
- If N (disabled) is selected, if the same field with the same label is requested to be filled by the signer multiple times, they will have to enter the requested information as many times as they appear on the document.
Enable RClick
This setting allows enterprise users within RSign to seamlessly integrate electronic signatures into their web applications, while also generating signature certificates for signers.
- If Y (enabled) is selected, two additional controls become available, specifying the RClick ID, which uniquely identifies the client web application, and the RClick Key, a secure code that the client's web application needs to send to RSign during web API calls.
- If N (disabled) is selected, users will not be able to integrate electronic signatures into their web applications.
To learn more, read the following article about how to use RClick.
Enable File review
The Enable file review setting provides you the ability to send unsupported files, such as multimedia files, through the RSign system for signers to review them and place their signature in a document that is sent separately. With this feature, you can also send supported files for review.
Note: This feature can only be enabled by RPost. If you would like to have this feature enabled, please contact your RPost Customer Success representative, or the Support team.

- If N (disabled) is selected, no language dropdown will be available.
Using the recipient language selection feature
You can select each recipient's applicable language at the time of preparing a new signature request, regardless of the recipient type. To change the language value, click on the language dropdown and select the desired option. Each recipient will receive RSign notifications and will see the user interface in the corresponding language.
Attach document data (XML) to email with signed contract (sender only)
The Attach document data (XML) to email with signed contract (sender only) setting provides the ability to attach the XML document to the final signed document. This XML file has the complete envelope data, including the control fields added to the document.
- If Y (enabled) is selected, the XML file will be attached along with the final signed document sent to the sender.
- If N (disabled) is selected, no XML file will be attached.

Include transparency document
The Include transparency document setting provides you the ability to receive an attachment called the Transparency PDF once a document has been signed by all parties. This file is sent to the sender along with the final signed document. It contains only the information the signers added to the fillable control fields during the signing process.
- If Y (enabled) is selected, the transparency document will be attached to the final signed document for the sender. The transparency document will also be downloadable in the expanded view of the envelope data in the Envelopes page.
- If N (disabled) is selected, no transparency document will be attached or be available for download in the envelope data.
Signature control required for static template
The Signature control required for static template setting provides the ability to create templates without adding a signature control field, and therefore, it allows to send a document for signature without requiring the identity of the signer.
- If Y (enabled) is selected, when creating a template with static link, it will be required to add a signature control field. Consequently, the recipient of the signature request will be requested to stamp their signature to complete the document.
- If N (disabled) is selected, when creating a template with static link that only allows a single signer, the template can be saved with or without having added a signature control field. Consequently, if no signature fillable control field is added, the recipient of the signature request will not be requested to stamp their signature to complete the document.
Note: This setting is only compatible with the Allow single signer option of the Create static link for templates setting.
Disable download option on signers page
The Disable download option for signers setting provides the ability for users to hide the download button from the signer interface to prevent signers from downloading the unsigned version of the document.
- If N (disabled) is selected, the download button will be visible for signers to download the unsigned version of the document.
- If Y (enabled) is selected, the download button will not be visible in the signer interface.

Disable finish later option on signers page
When enabled, the Disable the finish later option on the signers page setting prevents signers from saving their progress and returning to complete the signing process at a later time. This setting ensures a more immediate and streamlined signing experience, encouraging signers to complete the document signing in a single session.
Disable decline option on signers page
When enabled, the Disable decline option on signers page setting ensures that signers are unable to decline the document. By disabling this option, the aim is to maintain a controlled and streamlined signing process, eliminating the possibility for signers to decline the document and promoting a seamless progression towards completion.
Disable change signer on signers page
When enabled, the Disable change signer on signers page setting restricts the ability to alter the designated signer on the signers page. By deactivating this option, it ensures a secure and unalterable signing process, preventing changes to the assigned signer and maintaining the integrity of the document workflow.
Allow changing email subject while updating and resending envelope
When enabled, the Allow changing email subject while updating and resending envelope will allow editing of the Message Template, email subject and email body while updating and resending the envelope.
