Witness to Sign a Document

It is possible for a person to digitally sign a document within the Nimbus system, even if that person is not a Contact within your Nimbus account.

We can use the Ad-Hoc file sharing process:

1. Ensure the file is published

2. Click the Share File icon for the file in question

   Open

   

    

3. The Share File dialog will display. Click the New Contact button to add the details of the Contact if it is not already setup in your Nimbus account. If the Contact is already setup in your Nimbus account, search for the Contacts email address in the email field.

   Open

   

    

4. When creating a new Contact, you must only have the First Name, Surname, Email address and Salutation fields completed. All other fields may be left blank. Click the Update field to add the Contact to your Nimbus account.

    

5. You will now be able to search for the email address of the contact you just added. Locate the email address and then click the Send button. A file sharing invitation email is now sent to the contact.

6. The email sent to the Contact is derived from a System Email template. The content can be modified as required.

    

7. The Contact must then click the link to the document which will allow the person to setup their Nimbus Portal login credentials. Once performed, the system will then display the document for signature.

8. They will then need to click the Sign Document button and work through the signature wizard then be able to sign the document. The system will stop at the first available signature block for them to sign.
