Every list has a signing view, that lets you track the signing status of every:
document you mark for signing
party and signatory you added to the document.
Statuses update based on the signing method you choose (DocuSign or Wet-ink). This article explains the different statuses you will see.
Signing methods
The statuses you see depend on the signing method you use. Legatics currently has two signing methods:
Wet-ink | Allows you to manually track the signing status of each document and signatory. |
DocuSign | Allows you to send documents to your DocuSign account.
If you send a document to DocuSign, then the statuses are automatically generated by DocuSign (and displayed in Legatics). |
Wet-ink

DocuSign
Documents being signed in DocuSign have a "DocuSign logo" on the document and the statuses can't be manually changed.
Legatics automatically syncs envelope and signatory statuses from DocuSign. It can take up to 1 minute before changes in DocuSign are reflected in Legatics. Visit this DocuSign help article to learn more additional DocuSign envelope statuses.
Envelopes
DocuSign groups documents you send into 'envelopes'. So any DocuSign statuses will be displayed for the envelope, not the individual documents within the envelope.
So all signatories may have a status of "Signed", but the envelope status is not "Ready to download". This is because there are additional actions for the envelope that need to be completed.
