  • Publication number: 20160140101
    Abstract: Techniques for electronic signature process management are described. Some embodiments provide an electronic signature service (“ESS”) configured to associate third-party content with electronic signature documents by way of dynamic form fields. A dynamic form field is associated with a data store and an electronic signature document. The ESS may automatically populate the dynamic form field with data obtained from the associated data store. If a signer changes the data of the dynamic form field, the ESS may write back the changed data to the data store.

  • Patent number: 9251131
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating version control over an electronic document, the electronic document being subject to a distribution sequence among at least first and second reviewing parties over a network. The method includes receiving an instruction set from a source client. Based on the instruction set, at least one editable field populated with content is embedded in the electronic document. The progress of the electronic document through the distribution sequence is monitored over the network. The content of the editable field being edited by the first reviewing party is determined. In response to determining that the content has been edited by the first reviewing party, the edited electronic document is provided to the second reviewing party. The electronic document being electronically signed by the first and second reviewing parties is validated. The editable field is locked from further electronic editing.

  • Patent number: 8655961
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a report describing the status of an electronic envelope. The electronic envelope includes a first electronic document to be distributed for electronic signature and an electronic signing template defining a set of at least one task that must be performed by an executor of the first electronic document to complete the electronic signature. The first electronic document is subject to a workflow including a plurality of events. The method includes receiving from a monitoring entity a selection of an identifier of an event of the plurality. The progress of the first electronic document through the workflow is monitored. That the at least one event has occurred with respect to the first electronic document is determined. In response to determining that the at least one event has occurred, the monitoring entity is notified of such.
