Hiding some documents in the set to some signers via API

Modified on Thu, 13 Jun at 2:44 PM

  • Hiding some documents in a set can be useful in various cases, for example in tripartite agreements where one party is not supposed to see a document.

  • In the example below, there are 2 documents being signed and one of the test+unregistered@signi.com  is not supposed to see the 2nd document in the set. This is set with the flag "is_visible": false for the first attachment in the set.

  • Although the signer will not see the document, any signing method needs to be specified for it, here "contract_role": "sign_certificate".is specified for test+unregistered@signi.com. The reasons are twofold - Signi requires signers to have a signing method specified, and it also needs to be prepared for situations where the document is passed from the integrated application in a "Work in Progress" state i.e. "state": "draft", and in Signi document handlers help to enable the document display by clicking the eye icon. It must be clear which signature method is then to be set as default.
