Setup Document types
The Document Types page allows users to configure which documents will use the Docusign integration when processing. When a document is set on this page, the document will be sent via Docusign for review and approval. The selected document will use the linked template to determine the details of the signature required and send the detail of the signatory along with the design of the report output.
The Docusign integration will work with any report that has an SSRS report type output, and will send all of the details regarding the report design to Docusign at the time the document is processed. The Document types page is found by navigating to Organization administration > Setup > Docusign > Document types.
The following fields are available on the Document types page. It is defined in three sections:
The Document type FastTab identifies the report name details of the document at processing time.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Document Name | Enter the name of the Document type. The Document name field often identifies the type of document that will be created, such as Sales Invoice or Purchase order. |
Template | Select the template that will be applied to the document. This field will be a drop-down of the templates that have been set up in the Templates page. |
Print Management | Select whether print management will be used for the document. Two options are available Yes - If selected, then the Document type and Report format fields are enabled. A user will be able to select from the standard Print management documents list that are enabled. No - If selected, then the Report name field will be enabled. This option is used where a custom report is built that the business wished to send via Docusign |
The General FastTab will identify the SSRS report version that will be used at the time of document processing.

Report name | If no has been selected in the Print management field, enter the SSRS report name here. |
Auto send | Select the value in the Auto send field. Two options are available: yes - If selected, then at the confirmation of the document, the document will be automatically sent to the relevant signatories for review and approval. no - If selected, then upon the confirmation of the document, the user will be able to review the document before it is sent via Docusign. The user will be able to add/edit/remove signatories, add additional informaiton that signatories must provide, or discard the document. Once ready, the user will select to send the document to Docusign. |
Use Account Name | When utilising an email placeholder eg @DocuSign@ enabling this button will prompt the recipient to sign as their company/Account name instead of utilising a name or email address.
