- Next, fill in the Packet Name.
- Then set your Reminder After and Expiration After Requirements.
- If the packet needs to be uploaded to the Sellers or Buyers Documents tab in your Transactions, then select the Link to Transaction option. This is not mandatory and is only available if you have our FinancialBAY platform. You can use the search bar to search for the transaction that you want to link this document to.
- If the packet you are sending is not associated with a transaction, select No Transaction.
- Select Next.
- The Email Subject will automatically be filled with the name of the eSign packet. If you would like to change it, you can do so.

- In the Email Body, enter in any additional information you want to send the client.
- If YOU want to receive text message notifications, select Yes in the Send Text Message Notification field.

- If you are uploading multiple files, you can change the order in which they appear in the packet by using the up and down arrows to the left of the document name.
- Click Next. The wizard will then insert the file(s) you have chosen.
- Add a tag (i.e, name, date, initials, etc), by clicking the White Bar under the tag you would like to add. This will highlight the white bar.
- Drag and drop the box or click where you would like the tag added to the document.
- You can type in the READ ONLY / WRITEABLE DATA options; however once the packet is out for signature, ONLY the client/signer can write in writeable data.
- Once you have added any tag, you will be able to select which recipient the tag is for and whether it is required or not. Each packet must have one required field in order to proceed to the next step.
- After you have added all of your tags, click Next
- Review all of the information for sending. If it is correct, click FINISH. If you need to make any edits, click PREVIOUS.
- When you press FINISH, the packet will then appear on your eSign Dashboard where you will be able to see the status of the packet. These statuses will be either Sent, Opened, Completed or Void. When the signing in a packet is completed, there will be a date under the completed column under Dates as well.
