General Usage

Overview

The Dropbox Sign for Procore User Guide is intended to help Procore users send project documents for electronic signature using Dropbox Sign. This guide assumes that the initial configuration has already taken place.

Sending a Document for Signature

To send a signature request, navigate to the contract you wish to be signed and perform the following steps:

  1. Press the Dropbox Sign logo in the side-panel on the right
Side-panel icon

  1. If the "Use Exported File" setting is enabled, the file will be automatically generated. If not, export the Procore contract and select the file from your computer.
Auto-generated file

  1. If the "Enable Multiple Attachments" setting is enabled, an Attachments section is displayed. Select any attachment that should be sent along with the primary contract. These attachments may contain text tags that determine signature placements within the document.
Attachments

  1. Add signers to the request as needed. The "Add Procore User" button allows you to add a user who has been assigned to the project. The "Add External E-Mail" allows you to add anyone not assigned to the project.
Signers

  1. The "Additional Options" section will only be displayed if there are certain settings enabled, such as allowing a signer to decline a request. Open this section and set the request options as necessary.

  1. The Dropbox Sign embedded requesting tool is a 3-step wizard. On the Add Signers screen, you can unset the signing order so everyone signs at the same time if necessary.

  1. The second screen allows you to drag-and-drop the signature or initial locations within the documents.

  1. The attachment shown here already contained text tags for initials, so these fields did not need added.

  1. The last step allows you to modify the communications before the e-mails are sent.

  1. After the request is sent, wait a few seconds before refreshing the side-panel. The request will only be shown after the signers have received their e-mails, which can take a few moments.
