Before you start
Signature and acknowledgement steps work best when the record is already complete and the recipient can understand exactly what they are being asked to do.
- Confirm the document is approved or otherwise ready for recipient action.
- Know whether the task is a signature, acknowledgement, or another completion step.
- Write instructions the recipient can understand without extra back-and-forth.
Follow these steps
- Open the approved document and choose the signer or recipient flow.
- Verify the recipient, action type, and any message or due-date context.
- Send the request and watch for the record to move into a pending completion state.
- Use the workflow view to monitor whether the recipient has completed the action.
Success checks
The outcome is obvious and verifiable
The recipient received the request.
The document status reflects a pending signature or acknowledgement state.
The record is clearly waiting on the signer rather than still on HR operations.
