Context Menu

The Context Menu shows all actions you can perform with the currently selected document.

Not all of the actions listed below will always show in the menu, as some of them may not be available for your particular document - some actions are only available when the document is not in a signing process, and some are only available when you are the creator of the document, such as Edit details or Move to folder.

The contextual menu will only be visible if there is more than one action available for you. If there is only one action possible, the system will display the action button directly instead of a dropdown.

You can also access the context menu in the Document tab by right clicking on the document, or click on the drop down at the right edge of the document row, as well as from the Progress timeline page.

Context menu

Usually one option of the actions is visible as a big button and the rest are in the drop-down menu. For documents that have the Created status and those waiting for your signature, the button is usually Sign. For completed documents it is Download.

Sign

Sign the document.

Delegate

Forward the document to someone else to sign instead of you.

Reject

Reject to process the document.

Seal

Availability: Business and Enterprise

Add an invisible electronic certificate without any visual indicator. This secures the document and makes it verifiable even with no visible signatures present.

Sealed documents can still be signed later, but signed documents (or any documents already containing a certificate) cannot be sealed. It is also not possible to seal documents that are currently being processed.

Remind

You will see the Remind button next to documents that are currently being processed.

Use it to send a reminder to all remaining recipients or the person whose action is required next, depending on the signing order.

Cancel

You can cancel the workflow associated with a document, if you are the original sender of that document.

Modify recipients

Availability: Business and Enterprise

You can only modify recipients of documents where you are the original sender.

To change a recipient of an active document workflow, first make sure they have not performed their required action yet, as changing a recipient after their action is processed is not currently possible.

Currently, recipients can only be changed for a different one, not added or removed.

Edit recipients

Once you click on the button, you will be taken to the Progress timeline page (unless you are already there) and all recipients that can be changed will become editable. You can change the recipient for an internal user or an external recipient. The action that is required of them stays the same.

Changing an external recipient with a set protection to an internal user will remove the set protection, as logging into their account is counted as verifying an internal user’s identity.

Editing a recipient

When you change a recipient, a confirmation window will pop up.

Confirm changes pop-up

Once you have changed all the recipients you need, click on the green Finish editing button in the top right corner. After you confirm the changes, a notification will be sent to the original recipient that they are no longer required to perform an action on the document, and to the new recipient about their role.

The record of these changes can be found in the Audit trail and Certificate of fulfillment, stating who was the original recipient and who is the new recipient.

New request

Completed and Failed documents can be easily reused in a single step with the New Request button.

This enables you to send the same document with the same configuration of eSigning fields to the same or a different recipient quickly without having to upload the document again or create a template first.

Audit Trail / Compliance documents

All documents have an Audit trail. Documents whose transaction has finished (successfully or unsuccessfully) also have the Certificate of Fulfillment available alongside the Audit trail, in which case you will see the tab Compliance documents where you can choose which of the two you want to view. What each document contains can be found on the page dedicated to Audit trail and Certificate of Fulfillment.

Send to Cloud

Before you use this feature, make sure that you have connected Circularo to the application you are trying to send your document to.

3rd party application connections can be managed in Integrations in your Preferences, where you can also choose which cloud services should be visible and which should be hidden in the list of options.

Attach file

Availability: Business and Enterprise

Attach a file (image, another document, anything you want) to the document you’re sharing.

7 Attach file.png

Attach a new file

Currently, only internal Circularo Business / Enterprise users can see attached files. When sending a document to an external recipient or a Circularo Pro user, they will receive it without the attachments.
In the near future, we are planning to extend the ability to view attachments to all users based on individual settings - stay tuned!

Email attachment

Circularo also offers the option to add and view your email conversation as an attachment to a document (.eml and .msg formats). After attaching an email message, you will see it in preview next to the document under Attachments.
