## Creating Documents in Adobe Sign

To request documents for signing through Manatal, you need to set up reusable templates in Adobe Sign:

1. Access your Adobe Sign account.
2. Click "Create a reusable template." ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/39490836-1db1-4486-9bf0-9314bc46f971/Images/Documentation/image%28855%29.png)
3. Name the template and upload the document for signing. Click "Preview & Add Fields."

          Note

          

Leave blank spaces in the document you upload where you intend to add fields like signatures, names, job titles, salaries, etc.

![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/39490836-1db1-4486-9bf0-9314bc46f971/Images/Documentation/image%28856%29.png)

1. In the following steps, we will add fields to our template to finalize the document. Remember to configure the fields based on their intended recipients:
  - **Participant 1:** The candidate fills this field.
  - **Participant 2:** The signatory (e.g., CEO) fills this field.
  - **Sender (Prefill):** Fields are pre-filled from data contained in the candidate profile.

Refer to the list below for available fields and their purposes:

| Name | Tag | Note |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Candidate signature | {candidate_signature} | Recipient signs document. Assign to Participant 1. |
| Company signature | {company_signature} | Signatory signs document. Assign to Participant 2. |
| Candidate full name | {candidate.full_name} | Displays candidate's full name from profile. Assign to Sender (Prefill). |
| Candidate email | {candidate.email} | Displays candidate's email from profile. Assign to Sender (Prefill). |
| Candidate phone number | {candidate.phone_number} | Displays candidate's phone number from profile. Assign to Sender (Prefill). |
| Candidate address | {candidate.address} | Displays candidate's address from profile. Assign to Sender (Prefill). |
| Candidate expected salary | {candidate.expected_salary} | This will tag display the candidate expected salary as shown in the candidate profile. Please assign the field to Sender (Prefill). |
| Candidate expected currency (ISO code) | {candidate.expected_currency} | Displays currency for expected salary from profile. Assign to Sender (Prefill). |
| Candidate hired date | {candidate.hired_date} | Displays candidate's hired date from profile. Assign to Sender (Prefill). |
| Candidate start date | {candidate.start_date} | Displays candidate's start date from profile. Assign to Sender (Prefill). |
| Employee job | {candidate.employee_job} | Displays candidate's employee job from profile. Assign to Sender (Prefill). |
| User full name | {user.full_name} | Displays user's name requesting signature from Manatal. Assign to Sender (Prefill). |
| User email | {user.email} | Displays user's email requesting signature from Manatal. Assign to Sender (Prefill). |

1. Follow these steps to add the candidate's signature field:
  - Assign the field to Participant 1.
  - Drag and drop the Signature field to the desired location.
  - Double-click the field and enter {candidate_signature} as the field name. Click "OK."

          Important

          

A signature field must be assigned to Participant 1; otherwise, Adobe will not send the document for signing.

The candidate will sign using this field when sending the document.

- Users with any access role (admin, manager, consultant, and recruiter) can send documents. For more details about user roles, consult [this article](https://support.manatal.com/docs/user-management#user-roles-amp-permissions).
- You need to have set up at least one reusable template in Adobe Sign before proceeding.

1. From any job pipeline, click on the "3-dots" next to the candidate you want to send a document to. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/39490836-1db1-4486-9bf0-9314bc46f971/Images/Documentation/image%28871%29.png)
