Tips & Tricks: How to Create and Use Templates in OneSpan Sign

Dilani Silva,

Using templates is a great time-saving hack that helps boost your productivity. OneSpan Sign offers the ability to create and use templates to help automate the e-signature process for frequently used documents such as contracts and NDAs. With templates, you can pre-define your signers, documents, signature locations and e-signature workflows. Instead of spending time placing signature blocks and data fields over and over again in a contract you frequently send out for e-signature, set them once and reuse the template. Let me show you how easy it is to create templates in OneSpan Sign.
