Step-by-step Guide: 

Digital Signatures

A step-by-step guide to creating Digital Signatures.

What are Digital Signatures?

When reviewing and approving contracts in Contracts Manager, you have the ability to sign off on contracts using a Digital Signature. Like a written signature, the purpose of a Digital Signature is to guarantee that the individual signing the contract really is who he or she claims to be.

A user may add his or her Digital Signature to a contract during Projects, and the signature will be visible within the document

This guide will cover the following topics:
