Send for Signature

Click Send for Signature in any record to turn it into a PDF that can be emailed and signed. The generated PDF document will look as if you’ve clicked the Print button for this record. SignNow enables you to add fillable fields to the document, so recipient(s) can add their initials, signature, and date. You can edit, add, or remove the fields before sending.

1. Click Send for Signature while viewing or editing the record.
