Details for Contract Signature

You must have defined the signature information when you have configured the Faculty Contract Templates (Select the Configuration tile > locate Faculty Workload > select Faculty Contract Templates.).

Below is the recommended format to add signature information in the contract template; otherwise, the workflow automation process will fail in Microsoft Power Automate.

Field SignNow Tag
Signature {{t:s;r:y;o:”Employee”;w:100;h:30;}}
Date {{t:t;r:y;o:”Employee”;I:"Date";}}
Key Description Values
t Type s (for signature), t (for text)
r Required y (for required)

Details for Contract Acceptance/Rejection

Once the faculty member receives the contract, the faculty member can use SignNow to accept/reject the contract. If the faculty member wants to:

  • Accept the contract: Specify the required fields, such as signature and date, and select the Done button.

    Once the faculty member has accepted the contract, it cannot be rejected. Faculty members can only view and download the accepted contract.

  • Reject the contract: Select the SignNow settings icon > Decline To Sign and specify the reason for refusal.

    Once the faculty member has rejected the contract, the faculty member can accept/reject the contract again.
