Signing the forms as admin

Hello,

I have a form that I am sending to guests to sign, then after they sign it goes to me to osign. Well, how can I easily sign all these from my dashboard. I'm afraid the links are not coming to my email to sign and I just need an easy way in the system to sign all the documents so they are complete.

Thank you

Hi AdminAdmin579Admin,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Currently, there's no way to sign submissions in bulk. It really needs to be done one by one. About the flow that you're looking for to do, I suggest checking out our Approval flow feature. This will let you format the form that it will go to a first signer, then you, before it reaches back to the respondent with the decision. We've made a small guide explaining the main aspects of Approval Builder that you might find helpful.

1. Create Your First Approval Flow

Let me walk you through the 3 ways to do it.

Using Form Builder page to create an Approval Flow:

• In Form Builder, click on the Downward Arrow icon next to Form Builder at the top left corner of the page, and click on Approvals.
• This will automatically create an approval flow for your form and you can start adding the elements you want to your Approval.

Using Settings page to create an Approval Flow:

• In Form Builder, click on Settings in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page. 
• On the left side of the page, click on Approvals. Then, click on Create an Approval Flow. 

Using My Approvals page to create an Approval Flow:

• On your My Approvals page, click on Create Approval at the top left corner of the page. 
• Choose the type of approval you want to use and then click on it to go to Approval Builder. 

2. Connect Elements to an Approval

• In Approvals, click on the Add Element menu on the left side of the page. 
• Click on an element to add it to your approval flow. 
• To connect them easily as an outcome of a decision, hover your mouse over the Approval Decision Email and click on the + button and drag and drop it onto your element.

3. Adding Logic Elements to Your Approvals

You can easily use these elements to eliminate or approve the submissions you receive to fasten the process. 

• In Approval Builder, click on Add Element + menu on the left side of the screen. 
• Then, under the Logic Elements tab, drag and drop the element you want to use between the other elements. 

4. Customize Approve or Deny Email

• Hover your mouse over the email you want to customize and then click on the Letter icon. 
• Under the Email tab, customize the email. Then, click on Save.

5. Send Reminder Emails to Approvers

You can easily enable Reminder Emails for approvers to remind them to take action. Here’s how to do it:

• In Approval Builder, click on one of your approver fields, and then click on the Gear icon to open Approve and Sign Properties.  
• Under the Advanced tab, toggle Send Reminder Emails option to the On position.

6. Requiring log in to approve submissions:

To make sure the person who takes action is from your organization, you can enable the Require Login to Approve option. Here’s how to do it:

• In Approval Builder, click on one of your approver fields, and then click on the Gear icon to open Approve and Sign Properties.  
• Under the General tab, scroll down and enable or disable the Require Login For Approver option. 

7. Easily Manage Approvals in Inbox

In Jotform Inbox, you can see the Approval Status of your submissions and easily Approve or Deny them. Here’s how to do it:

• In Approval Builder, click on the Downward Arrow icon at the top left corner of the page and select Inbox.
• In Inbox, choose a submission and then you can either Approve or Deny it.

You can also Filter the submissions by their Approval Status. Let me show you how:

• Click on Filter at the top of the submissions and choose Approval Status, then choose Equals, and then choose Approved for example.

Give it a try and let us know if you have any questions.
