What is the delegation feature?

Controlling delegation occurs via Web Services API or the Document Wizard.

Submitters can now provide specific parties in a transaction the ability to delegate (forward) the signature step to a new party. All delegation events are carefully recorded and audited in the transactional audit trail.

If a party is allowed to delegate, the party will see an extra link in the initial notification email which can bring the party directly to a delegation screen. 

Parties can also quit the digital signature process and choose ‘Someone else needs to sign’ from a set of available exit options.

Note: The delegation feature is not currently available for v3.1 and will be turned off by default for all clients to facilitate training and understanding of workflows. If your organization would like to take advantage of this delegation feature, please contact your SIGNiX representative.
