Document handling

Lightico enables you to configure the way documents are handled, before, during, and after the customer completes them. For example, you can choose who is notified when the document is completed. This article describes how to configure the system settings under Session > Document handling.

Notifications for completed documents

It’s important to know when a customer has finished a document or a Workflow as it may require other steps in your business processes. You can configure the system to send email notifications to the agent and/or another email.

Use the following system or team settings under Notify on customer completion to configure completion notifications:

• Agent - activate to send an email notification to the agent

• Other email - activate and provide an email address to send a notification to someone other than the agent

• Attachments - attach PDFs of the completed documents to the notification email

• Email subject - enter the title for the notification email

• Email body - replace the default HTML file to customize the body of the notification email

  Tip

  For information about how to compose an HTML file for the email, see Email template guidelines.

Define agent information in the audit trail

Lightico documents include an audit trail with additional information about the document, as in the example below. You can define how the agent information is displayed in this audit trail.

To define how the agent information is displayed in the audit trail: 

In the Agent information in audit trail section, select one of the following:

• Company Name

• Agent User Name

• Agent Full Name

• Agent User Name and Full Name

Allow agents to download completed documents

Customers can always download completed documents. 

To define whether to allow agents to also download completed documents:

Under Dowload complete documents, turn on the toggle.

Allow agents and customers to download incomplete documents

You can decide whether to allow both customers (including co-signers) and agents to download incomplete documents.
Configure the following settings under Download incomplete documents:

Customize file names for system use

You can customize the file names of your documents for internal use. This allows an organization to use their own specific naming convention for these files. When agents download the document or when the document is sent internally by email, the customized file name will be used. However,  when customers or cosigners download the document, they will still see the original name of the document.

The customized file name settings are divided into three categories:

• eSigns and Workflows - All PDF Template and External Documents

• Document requests - Copies of documentation provided by the customer like Photo ID or bank statement

• Payment summary - Summary of customer payment during a session. This custom file name is only relevant for Lightico files that are saved in Salesforce (see Configure Lightico Settings)
  

  Note:

  Customized file names do not apply to images that the agent adds to a session.

For information about what text you can insert in the customized file name, see the guidelines below.

To customize file names for internal use:

1. Under Customize file name for system use, turn on the eSign and Workflows and/or the Document requests toggle.

For information about what text you can insert in the footer, see the guidelines.

To insert a footer in documents:
