DocuSign:

First, please keep in mind that if you assign documents to be signed on the test site, they will actually send emails to that person.

Adding your account to PEAKS

• You need to invite the PEAKS service account to your docusign account as just a regular “UC Davis Bulk Sender” role profile. This is done by clicking Add User in the admin portal and putting in caes-peaks-docusign@ou.ad3.ucdavis.edu . Then you need to notify us of this so we can click accept on our end.
• To notify us, please use the “Create Help Ticket” from the help menu from within PEAKS.
• The image below shows how to add the service account. You need to be an admin.

• To make it easier to share templates with our service account, you should also create a group and add our service account to that calling the group PEAKS so it is easy to find in docusign.
• If you don’t create a PEAKS group in docusign, templates will have to be shared with caes-peaks-docusign@ou.ad3.ucdavis.edu directly.

Roles

• A new role was added “Document Master”
• This role, in addition to the Departmental Admin, can assign available documents to be assigned to people in your team.
• This role also has access to the Documents Report

Adding a document to your Team

• Before documents can be assigned to users for them to sign, they first have to have the template shared with our service account.

What to do if the user didn’t get their email

• Have them check their junk mail and all that stuff.
• Confirm the email for the person is what PEAKS is using.
• Have them log into docusign directly with their email and it should be there.
• And/OR
• Have them wait a week. Notifications will be sent out again after 1 week.
• You can alway recreate the document, but the unsigned one will stay on the system, eventually it will show as declined or voided if they take no action on it.
