Primary signer

When a document contains editable fields other than signatures, the document's view, edit, and print modes display the primary signer's responses, even when multiple signers respond. By default, the first signer is assigned the primary signer status. When more than one parent or guardian signs the document, the system updates the document after each additional signature to reflect the primary signer's responses. This process can take up to two minutes to complete. 

The system saves all signer responses when the signing process is complete, and the final PDF includes every response.

Set primary signer 

You can change which parent or guardian is assigned the primary signer status after one parent or guardian has completed signing. The student profile stores the primary signer's consent answers.

  1. Select the student and open the document.

  2. Click More and choose View Digital Signature Details.

  3. Open the Options menu (ellipsis icon) for the signer, and choose Save as primary signer.
