E-signature in Irys One

Sign

Sign is its own module in the left rail. It holds every agreement you are working on, from the first request through signing and what it commits you to afterwards.

The Sign page

The page opens on a row of tabs: Overview, Your move, In flight, Waiting on them, Obligations, and All. Each working tab carries a count of the agreements inside it. Obligations is marked as coming soon.

Overview is a summary rather than a list. It shows how many agreements are open, how many are waiting on you and on the other side, how many were signed this month, and the median time from request to signed. Below that it charts the median time agreements spend in each step, how long the ones with the other side have been waiting, and which agreements are stuck.

Under the tabs sits a filter row: a search box, a Stage filter, an Action filter, Group by with a choice of Whose move or Action, and Rows with a choice of Comfortable or Compact. A List and Board toggle above the row switches the same agreements between a table and a board.

Two buttons sit at the top right of the page. Your signatures holds the signature you sign with. Send for signature opens the sheet for a new signature request.

Sending an agreement

Send for signature is one sheet rather than a wizard. You name the request, add the documents, add the people who sign, mark the spots where each of them signs, and set how long they have. Save draft keeps a request you are not ready to send.

Following an agreement

Every request appears in the register as a row carrying its title, its matter and the relationship to the other side, the stage it is in, and how long it has been there. The tabs divide agreements by whose move it is, so Your move is the short list of things nothing else can happen without.

What the other side sees

A signer opens a link from their email. They do not need an Irys account. They agree to sign electronically, read the document, sign it, and finish, and they can ask a question, suggest a change, pass it to a colleague, or decline at any point.

Where agreements are kept

A signature request belongs to the workspace it was sent from. It appears in that workspace and does not roll up into your Personal workspace. A request linked to a matter also appears in that matter, in its Sign panel, where you can see its status and start another one. A request with no matter appears only in Sign. When everyone has signed, the signed copy stays with the agreement in Sign. The matter's Sign card shows it as Complete. Open the linked matter and check the signed copy is with its documents. If it is not, download it from the agreement page and add it to the matter. Every party to the agreement receives the signing record by email, including a signer who has no Irys account.
