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 can download documents and where to send completed documents. This article describes how to configure the settings in System settings ⇾  Session ⇾  Document handling.

Choose where to send completed documents

When a document is completed, you can configure the system to automatically send the completed document to the agent. You can also choose an additional email address to automatically send the documents to. You can configure the following settings in the Send completed documents to section:

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 template-based and ad hoc 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.
2. Click Edit, and do any of the following:
   • Add free text
   • Click the Attribute icon to add an existing attribute
   • Click the hash tag icon to add a system parameter

Company Stamp on Audit

Insert a footer in documents

You can automatically insert a footer in all documents that you send to your customer. The footer appears at the bottom of the page on either the first page or on all pages.

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

To insert a footer in documents:

1. Under Footer, turn on the Add footer to all documents toggle.
2. Click Edit, and do any of the following:
   • Add free text
