Systems and methods for distributed electronic signature documents
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a source client executable on a first computing device, the source client configured to generate an electronic envelope including a first electronic document to be distributed over a network for electronic signature and an electronic signing template defining a set of at least one task that must be performed by an executor of the first electronic document to complete the electronic signature, the first electronic document being subject to a document-execution workflow comprising a plurality of events including the at least one task, the first electronic document including an embedded activatable control; and
an electronic device coupled to the first computing device over the network, the electronic device configured to;
receive from the first computing device an electronic selection of an identifier of at least one event of the plurality of events, wherein the electronic selection of the identifier is provided via a graphical user interface that is configured to;
display identifiers of the plurality of events including envelope sent, envelope delivered, and envelope signed,receive selections of identifiers of each of the plurality of events, andreceive from a user a selection of an identifier of the at least one event of the plurality of events,monitor, over the network, progress of the first electronic document through the workflow,determine that the at least one event has occurred with respect to the first electronic document, by receiving an indication that the control has been activated, andin response to determining that the at least one event has occurred with respect to the first electronic document, notify the first computing device that the at least one event has occurred with respect to the first electronic document.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing a report describing the status of an electronic envelope. The electronic envelope includes a first electronic document to be distributed for electronic signature and an electronic signing template defining a set of at least one task that must be performed by an executor of the first electronic document to complete the electronic signature. The first electronic document is subject to a workflow including a plurality of events. The method includes receiving from a monitoring entity a selection of an identifier of an event of the plurality. The progress of the first electronic document through the workflow is monitored. That the at least one event has occurred with respect to the first electronic document is determined. In response to determining that the at least one event has occurred, the monitoring entity is notified of such.

7. A method for providing a report describing a status of an electronic envelope including a first electronic document to be distributed for electronic signature and an electronic signing template defining a set of at least one task that must be performed by an executor of the first electronic document to complete the electronic signature, the first electronic document being subject to a document-execution workflow comprising a plurality of events including the at least one task, the first electronic document including an embedded activatable control, the method comprising:
-
receiving from a monitoring entity an electronic selection of an identifier of at least one event of the plurality of events, wherein the electronic selection of the identifier is provided via a graphical user interface that is configured to; display identifiers of the plurality of events including envelope sent, envelope delivered, and envelope signed; receive selections of identifiers of each of the plurality of events; and receive from a user a selection of an identifier of the at least one event of the plurality of events; monitoring, over a network, progress of the first electronic document through the workflow; determining that the at least one event has occurred with respect to the first electronic document, by receiving an indication that the control has been activated; and in response to determining that the at least one event has occurred with respect to the first electronic document, notifying the monitoring entity that the at least one event has occurred with respect to the first electronic document. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by an electronic device, enable the electronic device to perform steps for providing a report describing a status of an electronic envelope including a first electronic document to be distributed for electronic signature and an electronic signing template defining a set of at least one task that must be performed by an executor of the first electronic document to complete the electronic signature, the first electronic document being subject to a document-execution workflow comprising a plurality of events including the at least one task, the first electronic document including an embedded activatable control, the steps comprising:
-
receiving from a monitoring entity an electronic selection of an identifier of at least one event of the plurality of events, wherein the electronic selection of the identifier is provided via a graphical user interface that is configured to; display identifiers of the plurality of events including envelope sent, envelope delivered, and envelope signed; receive selections of identifiers of each of the plurality of events; and receive from a user a selection of an identifier of the at least one event of the plurality of events; monitoring, over a network, progress of the first electronic document through the workflow; determining that the at least one event has occurred with respect to the first electronic document, by receiving an indication that the control has been activated; and in response to determining that the at least one event has occurred with respect to the first electronic document, notifying the monitoring entity that the at least one event has occurred with respect to the first electronic document. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
