  19. Enter a Template name and upload your document.

    • A template can contain multiple documents.

    • Choose an Online Document enables you to select a document from Box, Google Drive, Salesforce, or other online source.

  20. In the Add Recipients to the Envelope section, add Recipient Roles for each type of recipient, and indicate the routing order to be followed when the document is distributed.

    For example, for a form to be completed and signed by HR before being sent to an employee for signature, add HR and Employee roles, and set HR with Order number 1, Employee with Order number 2:

    • Leave Email and Name blank—these are supplied by Sage People on distribution.

    • Roles can be repeated in the Order sequence for forms needing completion and validation in multiple stages.

  21. In the Message section, customize the Subject line and add a message to send with the document.

  22. Select Next.

    DocuSign prompts you to tag the document.

  23. DocuSign displays the form for tagging. Drag and drop the tags from the left panel onto the form data fields for each of the recipients you have defined.

    • Make sure all fields requiring completion are tagged. Data cannot be extracted, or mapped to Sage People from untagged fields.

    • Create Custom Tags to tag fields not covered by the Standard tags.

    • Set Custom Tag properties to validate input using one of the supplied masks, for example for zip code, or by specifying a regular expression (regex), for example for Social Security Number.

    • In Tag properties you can set the recipient from your list of Recipient roles. This dictates who can complete or edit each field and is particularly important for the Signature fields.

      Note

      DocuSign Tags are also known as Tabs. Tags in the form within DocuSign become Tabs when returned to Sage People. The two terms are synonymous.

  24. When you have finished tagging the form, select Save and Close.

  25. Select Go to Admin:
