The Envelope Custom Fields are created by customer administrators and the information that can be used in a search is added, or selected, by senders in the Envelope Settings section. Example: The Customer Administrator creates an Envelope Custom Field called Sales Region where a sender will add their sales region information when sending an envelope. A sender in the North Sales Region is preparing an envelope, they scroll to the Envelope Settings section and under the Custom Fields heading type North in the Sales Region custom field, and then finish and send the envelope. When searching for a envelopes from the North Sales Region, the Current Filter can be changed by selecting Envelope Fields and typing North in the search criteria. The search shows all the envelopes with North in the Custom Envelope Field.
This tab shows the envelope status at the top of the panel. It also shows the detail of when the envelope was sent or created and provides a quick view of the envelope progress by showing the status of envelope recipients. There are four categories of envelope status: In Process: The envelope has been sent and is waiting for one or more recipients to complete their actions. Note: If a recipient fails an authentication check, the Manage tab result panel show the envelope status as Authentication Failed. When the envelope is selected, the Summary tab still shows the envelope status as In Process and a short description of the authentication failure (Failed Access Code, Failed ID Check, or Failed Phone Authentication) is shown adjacent to the recipient. This information is also recorded in the envelope history. If there is an undeliverable email notification for an envelope invitation, the recipient status in the Summary tab is changed to Auto Responded and raw SMTP string text for the response is shown adjacent to the recipient. Completed: All recipients have completed the actions for the envelope. Voided: The sender of the envelope has cancelled an envelope. Declined: A signer has declined to sign/complete the envelope.
