Creating and managing additional documents
At any stage of the document lifecycle, users can attach additional documents to the Contract Express Document by uploading them with the document details page. To enable this option, you need to:
- Enable it for the required template (see Enabling document upload for a template).
- Check whetherUpload supplementary documentsaction is enabled inAdmin>Featuresfor the required document status (see Managing actions availability based on documents’ statuses).
Additional documents also can be sent for eSignature along with the Contract Express generated documents.
Contract Express supports any file format that can be signed electronically. Although Contract Express itself does not impose restrictions on the file size of the uploaded documents, it is highly recommended not to exceed the limitation of 25 Mb for a single file due to eSignature platform limitations (for more details see the appropriate eSignature documentation). Also, see eSigning documents for more information about electronic signature of documents.
