Simple Signing Order Settings for Online Signatures
Anyone who has to deal with contracts knows how exhausting paperwork can be.
Now signing documents that require multiple electronic signatures is easier than ever before with jSign®’s signing order feature.
What is a Signing Order?
The signing order of a document is simply the order in which a document must be signed for it to be approved by an organization.
When collecting electronic signatures that need to be done in sequential order, meaning one after the other, there used to be a lot of work involved.
If you’ve been through this before, you know that it can be a real pain.
Without jSign, you would have to email a contract to the first signer, have them print, sign, scan and send it back, then email it to the second signer, and repeat until all signatures have been gathered.
The bottom line is that over months and years, these kinds of processes rob us of hours, days, and even weeks from our lives. Time we could have spent with family, friends, or being more productive at work.
But jSign offers an easier way to set the signing order and collect electronic signatures for your important documents. It saves you time, boosts your productivity, and lets you focus on business activities that really matter.
Parallel & Sequential Order: What Do They Mean?
You have two options when selecting the signing order with jSign: parallel and sequential order.
Parallel Order
Parallel order means that your document can be signed by recipients in any order or at the same time. It doesn’t matter who signs the document first or last, as long as it’s signed by everyone.
Sequential Order
Signing a document in sequential order means that one party has to sign the document before the next party provides their electronic signature. This is common in organizations with many managers and departments.

jSign is built on blockchain as an extra layer of protection. Because the blockchain technology that we use is decentralized (meaning there is no central server for hackers to tamper with), it would be much more complicated to create fraudulent documents signed through our platform.
