Default Callback URL
Inside of the organization page you can find the section “default callback URLs” where you can define the URLs for the callback and since version 3.6 you can define an authentication for the callback. The next screenshot shows an overview where you can find the settings:
If you click on the button “add authentication” the following window appears:
In this section you can define:
- The name of the callback (default value: “New Callback Authentication”)
- The authentication (None or basic, default: none)
- The pattern (the URL should contain the given pattern)
- The pattern “*” matches anything
If you choose “basic” as authentication the following window appears:
Within this section you can define:
- The domain
- The username
- The password
After filling in the dates for the authentication you can test if the URL matches any pattern of the authentications. If no pattern matches you get an information. The following screenshots show you a warning and a successful matching of the patterns.
If you have more than one authentication and you check the URL for the pattern and more than one authentication matches, always the first one of the list will be highlighted green.
After those settings you can send an envelope as usual. If you have authentication activated but the given dates are wrong you get an information.
In the next Screenshot you can see both scenarios (with a valid authentication and with a invalid authentication). If you click on the exclamation mark following text appears: “Response status code does not indicate success:401 (unauthorized)”.
If you want to try the callback URL without authentication you can try it with: webhook.site
If you want to try the callback URL with authentication you can try it with:postman echo
Disposable Certificate
In this section of your organization you can define a disposable certificate. For this setting you need following dates:
- LRA ID
- User
- Password
Moreover, you can decide if you want to use a lean disposable, if you want to get a disclaimer before certificate request and if you want to send disposable disclaimer document emails. The following screenshot shows you where to find those settings.
Recipient Settings
You can set the following settings for the recipient:
- default CC for all signers
- usage of envelope metadata
- allow recipients to access envelope again after it has been completed and closed
- delegation settings
- allowed authentication methods for signers
- force authentication
If you force an authentication and the user does not select any or a specific authentication method then the user will get the following notification:
Envelope Defaults
You can set the following settings for the envelope defaults:
- Prevent editing of form fields after envelope is finished
- default send automatic reminders
- Set the reminders
If you prevent editing form fields after the envelope is finished the form fields in the PDF are all read only. Therefore, after locking the form fields (after the final workstep), the form fields are not editable any more with other PDF tools.
Please also see the next figures:
Information on whether the form fields are locked or not can also be found in the audit trail. Please see the next figure:
Licensing
The licensing page gives you an overview of the following information:
- The plan (free trial, per number of documents…)

- How many users are registered
- Table for the statistics
Moreover, you can find the license expiration and envelope limit. For the envelope limit you can define sending an envelope limit notification at reaching a limit of percent. For example you want to get a notification if the limit reaches 80%. Furthermore, you can define a callback URL.For the license expiration you can define how many days before the expiration you want to get a notification about expiration.The following screenshot shows you an example of the license page:
Users
In this section you can manage the users of your organization. You can add new users and manage the user rights.
User Rights
- Position
- Power User: can send and manage envelopes
- Registered Signer: can sign documents and see his signed documents and tasks
- None: just can be used with “Is User Manager”, is a organisation manager without right to send or documents
- Is User Manager is able to change organisation settings, manage user and can define teams
- Developer Mode allows the user to download the envelope XML of his/her envelopes. This makes it easier for developers to use eSAW UI as a workflow designer.
- Allow automatic eSealing allows the user to use the automatic remote signatures in a workflow.
Every user can set her/his own settings, so also her/his preferred language. If this user is a receiver of an envelope (sent via the same eSAW instance), the recipient language settings are taken from the user account and not from the sender’s preference!
Add new User:
Delete User:
If you want to delete a user who already sent envelopes or created templates you can decide if you want to reassign these envelopes, templates, clipboards and address book to another user or not.
Team
In this section you are defining your teams. A team is a virtual organisation, in which the team-manager (root) has access to all envelopes of the team. With the enabled sharing feature all team members can access the envelopes and/or templates of the team. People with the “isUserManager” setting can edit teams.
Add new Team Dialog
By drag and drop move a new member to your selected team. You have to select which user should be added to the team.
Removing a team member is simple. Just move over it and a delete icon appears.
In the team-settings you can define if envelopes and/or templates are shared.
Localization
In this section you are managing languages for your organization. You can select active languages for the notifications. We do not offer all translations, so for non-supported languages you can define your individual texts in the “Email Templates” section of the settings.
Email Template
In this section you can set your email templates. You can change the layout, texts, logo, etc. to adopt it to your needs. With the keywords you can add dynamically information (e.g. recipients name, message, etc.).
Signature Disclosure
If you want to use a common signature disclosure, you can enable it here. Just activate it by clicking on the checkbox and enter your individual signature disclosure. You can define different texts for each language and add the name of the recipient by using {{name}}. An optional setting allows you to overwrite the settings via API and set individual agreement texts per envelope or recipient.
Errors
In case of errors they are listed in this section of the settings.
