What is ordered signing?
The ordered signing feature allows the document author to send signature requests in a specific order. Signatories will only receive an invite to sign a document once the signatories prior to them have already signed the document. Please note that ordered signing is only available to users with Twala account in the meantime.
How to send a signature request with a signing order
Login to your Twala account
Click on the "Prepare document" button
Upload the file you want to be signed
Tick the "Set signing order" box
Add the signatories' names and emails and other information. In the example below, Paul will receive the signature request first, then once he signed, Edil will receive the signature request, once Edil is done, Charlie then will receive the signature invite.
You can re-arrange the order by dragging and dropping the signing order boxes on top of each other.
You can add multiple signatories for a specific signing order number. It means that the multiple signatories in one specific signing order will receive the signature request invite at the same time (parallel signing). You can do this by clicking on the three vertical dots inside the signing order box.
In the image below, Paul and Charlie will receive the signature request invite at the same time and the two of them can also sign the document at the same time. Once both of them have signed, only then Edil will receive the signature request invite.
