  • Choose a PDF file that you want to upload from your computer and give it a name.
  • If your DocuSign configuration needs multiple PDFs, repeat this process.

  2. In the left-hand column, you should see a select dropdown with a list of PDFs that you can add. To add one, simply select it and click 'Add'.

  • If you do not see the PDF you want to add, go back to Section I and add the PDF first.
  1. Upon first adding a PDF, it will always be included with the DocuSign input.
  • If you only want that particular PDF to be shown upon a certain input being filled out, choose a specific input from the additional dropdown.
  1. If you change your mind about a particular PDF, simply delete it by clicking the delete icon next the card.

  2. Once you have added all your PDFs, click on the 'Signers' tab to continue.

A signer is a user that interacts with the DocuSign interface, whether it be filling out information or giving a signature. Upon interacting with the DocuSign input, they are sent an email that links them to DocuSign.

An in-session signer is a signer that is redirected to DocuSign to complete the form, and is redirected back to Prelim afterwards. You can only have ONE in-session signer per DocuSign configuration.

  1. In the left-hand column, click on the 'Add' button to add a signer.

  2. A signer configuration card will appear on the right-hand side. Give the signer a label, which will only be for internal use.

  3. Select the inputs that signer's information will be based off of. The values of these inputs will be used to populate the name/email of the signer.

  4. Similar to PDFs, you can also choose for the signer to be included only when a particular input is filled out by selecting an input from the "Should Include" dropdown.

  5. You can delete unwanted signers by clicking on the delete icon.

  6. Repeat until you have added sufficient signers. Proceed to the final section by clicking on the 'Signer Tabs' tab.

A signer tab is an input that will appear when the user opens up the actual DocuSign interface.

  3. Click on the tab icon that you want to add to your PDF.

  • If you see any error messages during this process, go back to the PDFs or Signers tabs to fix those issues by adding PDFs/signers.
