Adding DocuSign Fields to a Template

After you create a template from your data set, you can begin to map your DocuSign Fields. Once you open your template, you can add your DocuSign field and configure it to match your use case.

Note:You can have a signature placeholder in the template for an in-person signing ceremony and a different signature placeholder in the same template for a sign by e-mail ceremony for a different recipient. When Designers add fields in this manner, the DocuSign envelope sends both an email and provides an in-person link to both recipients.
