Understanding joint signers group

The "Joint Signers" feature is designed to streamline the process of multiple parties signing a single document, particularly when they are physically present together or when they want to avoid the complexity of separate signing sessions.

Problem It Solves

In traditional eSignature processes, each signer receives a unique link or access point to sign the document. This means that if two parties are together, they would still need to access the document separately on their individual devices, leading to inefficiencies and unnecessary waiting periods.

How Joint Signers Work:

With the "Joint Signers" feature, a combined signing session is created for multiple signers. Here's a breakdown:

1. Creation: When preparing an eSignature package, the document creator can designate two (or more) parties as a "Joint Signers" group.
2. Access: Once the group is set up, the parties can join from either of the links that sent to each individually.
3. Convenience: If two signers are together—say, at home or in business meeting—they can conveniently use the same device to access and sign the document. The first signer can sign, and then immediately pass the device to the next signer without waiting for a new session or link.
4. Flexibility: Despite the unified session, the signing fields are still separate.

Benefits

• Efficiency: Speeds up the signing process, especially when signers are together, using one device.
• Simplicity: Removes the hassle of managing and tracking multiple unique links for each signer
• Collaboration: Encourages collaborative signing sessions, fostering a sense of joint decision-making and agreement.

In essence, the "Joint Signers" feature is a thoughtful solution to a common problem, offering a blend of convenience and flexibility for various signing scenarios.
