DocuSign Integration Options

Replace original document with signed document: Automatically replaces the original document in FileBound with any document imported from DocuSign. If this option is not selected, a new document will be created in FileBound.

Note: A document is replaced with the signed document only when all the users required to sign the document have signed it. The signed document will be in PDF format regardless of format of the original document.

Enable DocuSign Connect: Automatically imports a document back into FileBound once it has been signed by all recipients. If this option is not selected, users need to manually import the signed documents from a viewer. See Configure DocuSign Connect for information about configuring Connect to work with FileBound.

DocuSign User: A user DocuSign Connect will use to upload a document.

Designated Senders

2. In the DocuSign Designated Sender dialog box, select a FileBound user from the User list.

3. Select an option from the DocuSign Email list, to specify the DocuSign account your want to map with the FileBound user.
