Autotagging
Before you start
You will need to have added a document to the portal.
You can add a tag to your template document using our auto tagging feature by inserting an anchor into your document. An anchor is made of:
- A Role
- Recipient number
- Tag Type
- Required/Optional
Anchor Type | Example | Description |
---|---|---|
Role | Signer (S) | Role of the recipient |
Recipient number | x(1 to 30) | Number of recipients. This must be a number from 1 to 30. |
Tag Type | Signature (S) | Type of field. See above for more details. |
Required / Optional | Required (R) or Optional (O) | If you require the recipient to complete this transaction in order to sign the document. |
Header tag | |AT| | Place this on the first page of your document to signify that the document contains auto tags. |
