Configuring electronic signatures
The configuration parameters of the Universign APIs are used for signing quotations and sales delivery notes electronically. Using these APIs makes it possible to send quotations and delivery notes out for electronic signature directly from the Desktop Application or the Sales Portal, without having to use an additional interface.
The electronic signature is configured from the Administration console, from the Third-party Interfaces > Electronic signature menu.
| 1 | Fill in the following fields to configure the electronic signature: |
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable electronic signature | Check this box to enable the electronic signature. |
| Universign URL | Specify the URL provided by Akuiteo to connect to the Universign APIs. |
| Universign user | Fill in the login of the Universign user, provided by Akuiteo. |
| Universign password | Specify the password associated with the login of the Universign user, provided by Akuiteo. |
| Akuiteo user |
Specify the login of the Akuiteo technical user used to connect to the APIs. |
| Akuiteo password | Specify the password associated with the login of the Akuiteo technical user. |
| Time range for retrieving signatures |
A scheduled task is executed as a background task to search for signature statuses (whether the recipients for electronic signing have signed or not) and, once all signatures have been made, to retrieve the signed documents. The time range for retrieving signatures is used to define, in seconds, the time range for executing this scheduled task. By default, the task is executed every 21600 seconds, that is to say every 6 hours. Note It is not recommended to specify a small time range so as to not overload the calls. |
| Start period |
The start period is used to define, in seconds, the time before executing the first scheduled task after the Akuiteo server has been launched. By default, the task is executed for the first time 20 seconds after the server is launched. |
