Sign and Witness

Modified on Fri, 10 Feb, 2023 at 12:27 PM

Labfolder offers users two Apps for data validation, Sign & Witness and Signature Workflows:

  • The free Sign & Witness App allows you to sign and request 1 more witness.
  • Signature Workflows, however, is a paid upgrade designed to create complex validation workflows, including multiple witnesses and the option to comment on approval or rejection actions.

In order to apply the Sign & Witness process, you need to have a non-private project shared with at least one other member, and both parties need to have the Sign & Witness add-on activated (Navigate: MANAGE > Apps). Apart from this, you need to follow the steps below.
