DocuSign

DocuSign is a feature of Mercury that allows you to electronically send a Word document to have it digitally signed, pages initialed or a checkbox ticked by the recipients.  

Note: If using Docusign via Mercury 5 or Mercury Nexus you are using the Connective Docusign Account. You will not have access to login using our account in order to retrieve Docusign Audit Certificates. If you require an Audit Certificate you will need to sign up for a Digital Signature service yourself.

About DocuSign

Creating a custom DocuSign Document template for Brokers

1. The Signature field must be copied from a Connective Master Docusign Template and pasted into the custom template in order for the Docusign application to detect which part the Client will sign in the document.
2. Always save the Docusign template in a ‘.docx’ file extension format for the merge fields to work on the template.
3. When adding a merge tag on the document always check if the merge tag being copied is active in order to have the merge tag to pull up data from the Opportunity. To confirm, highlight the merge tab and right click. You should see the 'Edit Field' option.

4. Once the Custom Document template has been created, upload the document into Mercury. Mercury>Documents>Merge Templates.
5. Select the file and set into its destination folder.
6. Custom Documents that are made and uploaded will be available on the Merge Document Icon on the Opportunity.

Note : Once the custom docusign template needs to be sent to the client for signing there will be cases that the auto navigation flag in docusign will not appear to point out where the client needs to sign.

The client can use the drag and drop method to add signature on the document.

Note: The Auto Navigate flag that points our the clients on where to sign might disappear when you create a custom template. In order for this function to work you will have to use a Master template that is uploaded on the Documents section of Mercury most recommended is the Docusign Master template. Remove the contents then enter your own contents on the template.
