How to use the electronic rubric on Clicksign?
Rubricating the pages of a document is a common practice in the context of an analog signature - done by hand, on paper. It is a cultural practice that can help guarantee that no page of the physical document has been tampered with or inserted after the signature of all parties.
In another blog article, we explain What is a rubric, its advantages and the difference between it and a subscription.
Although it is not configured as a requirement for the authenticity of the signers and the integrity of the document, the rubric mechanism can be useful in the process of signing electronic documents.
Electronic rubric on Clicksign: use and configuration
On account of growth in the use of electronic signatures, especially during and after the pandemic, the demand for the rubric in the digital environment also increased.
At Clicksign, the electronic rubric can be used in different ways. Below are the different ways to use and how to configure the functionality when sending a document for signature:
Confirmation of reading clauses
The confirmation of reading the clauses asks the signer to confirm that they are aware of and agree with specific clauses of the document, defined by the person who sent it.
Rubric in the corner of the page
Another option available on Clicksign is the rubric in the corner of the page. In this case, the signer defines his initials, which will be inserted on every page of the document, reproducing a rubric from the analog world.
The great advantage compared to other electronic signature solutions is that the rubric in the corner of the Clicksign page automatically flags all pages at once, optimizing the subscriber's time.
Full view of the document
To prevent the document from being signed without at least fully viewing it, this option requires the signer to go through the entire content of the document before completing the signature.
As you proceed to read the document, a progress bar displayed at the top of the page illustrates how close the signer is to the end of the document.
Proof of the use of the electronic rubric
Whatever the sender chooses when configuring the electronic rubric in the document, the information regarding compliance with what was required will be recorded in document log, a section present in every document signed on Clicksign that contains the complete history of the signatures. It is in the log that the elements of authorship of the signators' expression of will, that is, the authorship of the electronic signature, are demonstrated.
