Abstract: A document management system integrates with a video conference system to ensure that proper electronic witness procedure is performed for document validation. The document management system accesses a video conference between a user and an electronic witness, and then instructs the user to electronically sign the document while the electronic witness observes. The document management system receives confirmation that the electronic witness observed the video of the user electronically signing the document. The document management system combines and stores portions of the video conference that correspond to the electronic witness's validation of the document.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for detecting that a requesting user is transmitting a request to a recipient user to perform one or more tasks with respect to a secure document. The system extracts features associated with the secure document and inputs the features into a machine learning model that outputs one or more probabilities corresponding to a potential failure of the request. Based on the one or more probabilities, the system generates one or more feature modification activities to improve a likelihood of the recipient user completing the request. The system provides the one or more feature modification activities to at least one of the requesting user and the recipient user.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for providing recommendations for sets of security operations for improving security of documents created or executed within an online document system. A supplier entity may select sets of security operations to be performed for a request provided to a signing entity. The online document system computes an aggregate measure of security for the selected sets of security operations and compares it to a threshold measure of security. If the aggregate measure is less than the threshold measure, the online document system uses a machine-learned model to identify additional sets of security operations that when added, results in an updated aggregate measure of security greater than the threshold. The additional sets of security operations are presented to the supplier entity for inclusion within a security operation workflow in combination with the selected sets of security operations.

Abstract: Technologies discussed include receiving a set of rules associated with a document type from a supplier entity. Each rule identifies a set of conditions and a set of actions to be taken after a document of a document type is signed if the set of conditions is satisfied. When a supplier entity sends a document of the document type to a signing entity and the signing entity provides an electronic signature, the system determines whether conditions of rules associated with the document type are satisfied. For each rule that is satisfied, the system performs actions identified by the rule.

Abstract: A document management system can include an artificial intelligence-based document manager that can perform one or more predictive operations based on characteristics of a user, a document, a user account, or historical document activity. For instance, the document management system can apply a machine-learning model to determine how long an expiring agreement document is likely to take to renegotiate and can prompt a user to begin the renegotiation process in advance. The document management system can detect a change to language in a particular clause type and can prompt a user to update other documents that include the clause type to include the change. The document management system can determine a type of a document being worked on and can identify one or more actions that a corresponding user may want to take using a machine-learning model trained on similar documents and similar users.

Abstract: An online document system manages access to features within the online document system. The online document system may receive and fulfill a request from a first entity to sponsor a feature for a second entity. The online document system may determine an access policy to restrict access to the sponsored feature. For example, the access policy may include a requirement that the second entity only use the sponsored feature with the first entity. The first entity may provide a second access policy to the online document system to enforce. If the second entity satisfies requirements of the access policies, the online document system may then provide access to the second entity to use the sponsored feature.

Abstract: An agenda dictating a sequence of actions to occur during a conference associated with a plurality of participants is accessed. The sequence of actions is associated with an electronic signature envelope. Content shared by a sharing participant of the conference is monitored for content corresponding to a given action of the sequence. Responsive to detecting the content corresponding to the given action, an acting participant for the given action is determined and data obtained from sensors of a client device of the acting participant is monitored. It is determined that the data indicates that the acting participant has performed the given action and an auditable data structure reflective of the data is generated. The content shared by the sharing participant of the conference is automatically modified to include content corresponding to a next action of the sequence of actions.

Abstract: A system for an electronic document that includes one or more electronic components comprising: natural language content; and a programmable component that comprises computer executable instructions that define: one or more state objects that indicate compliance with the natural language content, wherein a state object comprises a state variable; and logic that programmatically change, based on an application programming interface input, one or more state variables indicating a compliance event effect of the programmable component; an indication of one or more application programming inputs configured to cause execution, based on an input message from an external computing resource, of at least one programmable component of the one or more electronic component; and an indication of one or more contract outputs configured to indicate a value of at least one state variable to an external computing resource.

Abstract: An online document system provides a recommendation for one or more features within the online document system to an entity. The online document system accesses a set of feature training data to train a machine learning model. The set of feature training data may describe characteristics of entities associated with the online document system and historical activity associated with the entities' usage of the online document system's features. The machine learning model may be configured to identify a feature to recommend to an entity based on the entity's characteristics and history of using other features within the online document system. For example, data representing the entity's user accounts and use of an electronic signature feature is used by the machine learning model to identify a document authentication feature to recommend to the entity. The online document system may then provide the identified feature in a recommendation to the entity.

Abstract: A central networking system supports efficient identification and analysis of problems that occur at associated nodes on the network. Using network monitoring rules, the central networking system samples data from a subset of nodes in response to an indication that an error or problem has occurred on the network. If the collected sample data is determined to satisfy certain network conditions, the central networking system proceeds to perform network operations on nodes of the entire network, as appropriate. Thus, the system does not need to collect data from every node in a large network to address potential network threats. The central networking system also defines rules for detecting when a node experiencing a problem violates safety conditions such that it is impossible or inadvisable to pull analytical data from the node. The system performs appropriate remedial actions to address the node problems prior to requesting data for analysis.

Abstract: A system, for example, a document management system stores documents and manages workflows associated with documents. The document management system allows discovery of templates based on explicit searches performed by users or automatic searches performed based on a context. The document management system allows generating new document templates based on selected versions of document component templates. The generated document template may be stored as a new version. The document management system instantiates documents based on templates by predicting values of variables used in the template based on various factors that describe the context in which the template is being used. The values used for instantiating variables may be generated using machine learning models that may be trained using historical data stored in the document management system.

In particular, a web service can transmit a document for signing to a client device such that the document is viewable through graphical user interfaces while the underlying content of the document remains non-editable by the client devices through the web service. Responsive to receiving actions, the web service can generate one or more copies of the document that may include modifications that correspond to the received actions.

Abstract: Techniques for electronic signature process management are described. Some embodiments provide an electronic signature service (“ESS”) configured to manage electronic identity cards. In some embodiments, the ESS generates and manages an electronic identity card for a user, based on personal information of the user, activity information related to the user's actions with respect to the ESS, and/or social networking information related to the user. The electronic identity card of a signer may be associated with an electronic document signed via the ESS, so that users may obtain information about the signer of the document. The ESS may also generate a trust score for the user based on activity information related to the user's actions with respect to the ESS and/or other factors. The trust score may be used to recommend authentication mechanisms to use with respect to electronic signature transactions.
