PublicForm
The PublicForm (or form) is mainly applicable to situations where the document to be signed is "public" and "no specific signer is designated." Through a public link of the form (i.e., share link), employees, job seekers, and potential customers can sign the form on their own.
A form is essentially a task structure created from a Template, which includes two roles:
form_signer
: An unspecified user who only needs to provide basic information like name or email when signing. The first signer of the form must be aform_signer
.normal_signer
: A designated user. Once allform_signers
have signed, the signing process will automatically proceed to the designated signers. A form is not necessary to specify anormal_signer
, but allnormal_signer
s must follow after allform_signer
s.
The creator of the form can freely distribute the share link for any business purpose. When all form_signer
s click the share link and submit his signing, a task is created and collected. When the form reaches its set task collection quantity or expiration date, it will automatically terminate, indicating that the form collection goal has been reached. The statuses of the form include:
Status | Description |
---|---|
publish | The form is currently active and accepting signing. |
unpublish | The form is inactive and not accepting signing. |
terminated | The form has reached its goal or expiration date and is closed, or the template content has been changed. |
Below is a diagram illustrating the relationships between these form statuses.
Warning
Since the form is bound to a template, any changes to the template content will automatically terminate the form, and it cannot be republished.
