When the the annual report is sent for signing via Visma Sign, the text Date is indicated by the digital signature will be displayed instead of a date. The same applies to the auditor's signature.

Digital signing with Visma Sign

Check the signatories' e-mail addresses. If needed, you can change them before the document is sent.

If you change the e-mail address after you have sent the document, it will not affect already sent documents sent for signing. The status of the signing will no longer be displayed and you need to resubmit the document with the updated e-mail address. When the new invitation has been sent, you can cancel the old one. Read more in Cancel an ongoing sign.

In Visma Sign, you can update e-mail addresses on invitations that have been sent, but not yet opened by the signatory. Read on how to do it in Change e-mail address for a signatory.

From Sign settings - Invitation validity period, select the time within which the signing is to be made. Reminders will be sent out automatically on the interval stated for each selection.

It is not possible to change the active time after the invitation has been sent. For example, if you want to extend the time, you must create a new invitation and delete the old one in Visma Sign.
