Selecting and Configuring a Default System for E-Signatures

Depending on what you set up and the permissions that you grant, your users can use the system to send one file or a set of files for an electronic signature (e-signature), and they can send the package to other Unifier users and to external users. If they use envelopes in DocuSign or Acrobat Sign, they can group documents into a single envelope. When the documents included in an envelope are returned to Unifier, they are consolidated into a single PDF instead of returning as individual attachments.

To set up a default system for e-signatures the first time:

  1. Go to the Company Workspace tab, and switch to Admin mode.
  2. In the left Navigator, select Integrations, and then select the applicable sub-node, Acrobat Sign or DocuSign.
  3. Select Download Guide, and follow the instructions included in the guide.
  4. Select Configure.
  5. Complete the required fields:
    • URL: Enter the API URL that you or Oracle obtains after acquiring the license.
    • Account ID: (DocuSign only) Enter the ID for the DocuSign account.
    • Client ID: Enter the user identification needed to log on to Acrobat Sign or DocuSign.
    • Client Secret: Enter the client secret that is used to set up integration between Unifier and Acrobat Sign or DocuSign.
  6. Select Connect.

    If the connection is successful, the system sets the applicable application, Acrobat Sign or DocuSign, as the default.

    You can add an additional application. For example, if you set up a connection to Acrobat Sign, you can also add a connection to DocuSign. When you add the second connect, the system prompts you to indicate whether the newer application should be set as the default.

To view, update, or test a connection:

  1. Go to the Company Workspace tab, and switch to Admin mode.
  2. In the left Navigator, select Integrations, and then select the applicable sub-node, Acrobat Sign or DocuSign.

    The selected page displays the current settings.

    • URL: Displays the current API URL.
    • Account ID: (DocuSign only) Displays the ID for the DocuSign account.
    • Client ID: Displays the user identification needed to log on to Acrobat Sign or DocuSign.
    • Client Secret: Displays the client secret that is used to set up integration between Unifier and Acrobat Sign or DocuSign.
    • Connection Status: Displays the status, Inactive or Active.
    • Last Validated On: Indicates the date and time on which the connection between Unifier and Acrobat Sign or DocuSign was last validated.
    • Set as Default: Indicates if Acrobat Sign or DocuSign is the default option for securing e-signatures. Valid choices include: Yes or No.

    Depending on whether a connection is active and whether it is selected as the default, a More Actions list provides access to additional options, such as Test Connection and Disable.

  3. If applicable, perform any of the following actions:
    • To update information, select Edit, make the applicable changes, and select Connect.
    • If you have View permission, from the More Actions menu, choose any of the following options:
      • To view a list of projects using either Acrobat Sign or DocuSign for e-signatures, select View Usage.
      • To trace the history of actions taken on e-signatures, select Audit Log.
    • If you have Configure permission, from the More Actions menu, choose any of the following actions:
      • To modify the e-signature method used by one or projects, select View Usage, select the checkbox for each project you want to modify, and then select any of the following buttons:
        • To use DocuSign for e-signatures, select Update to DocuSign.
        • To use Acrobat Sign for e-signatures, select Update to Acrobat Sign.
        • To discontinue using e-signatures, select Update to None.
      • Use the Search bar to locate specific projects.
      • To verify if a connection is working, select Test Connection.
      • To remove a connection as the default, select Disable.
      • To choose your current e-signature method as the default, select Make Default.
      • To trace the history of actions taken on e-signatures, select Audit Log.

To configure access for users and groups:

  1. Go to the Company Workspace tab, and switch to Admin mode.
  2. In the left Navigator, select User Administration, and then select Access Control.
  3. In the right pane, expand Administration Mode Access, and then expand Integrations.
