- Click “Next” to continue.
-
Next, add a recipient list for each document you input based on the previously defined signers and recipients. Enter the full name, email address, and the action you want the recipient to take.
- In this case, you can save the contact list and create a contact group by checking the recipient's name and then activating the 'Save new recipient data to Contact List' toggle.

-
Then, you can set the Approval flow by clicking "Add approval flow".

If you select Manual, you will need to set the Approval step manually. Select the Approvers type and the Approver name, then click "Submit".

- You can also add sign fields and e-Meterai (if any) to other documents by clicking on one of the Signature Fields/Auto Fields, then clicking “Apply”.
- Placement of field sign or e-Meterai on all documents is determined based on coordinate points. However, if you upload a document with a different number of pages and the field is placed on a page that is not owned by other documents, then the field will only appear in that document.
Example:
File A, consists of 2 pages
File B, consists of 1 page
So, if the sign/e-Meterai/automatic field is placed on the 2nd page in file A, then the sign/-e-Meterai/automatic field will not be inputted to file B, because file B does not have a 2nd page.
- If you are a document maker and want to provide an e-Meterai, you can tick Provided by document maker. -
After placing a field on a page, you can also duplicate the signature field to another document by clicking the downward-facing triangle icon in the Copy to this page section, then selecting "Other document(s)", as shown below.
-
The signature field panel will then appear. Specify the document name and signer to apply the duplicated field. Then, click "Apply".
-
The duplicated signature field will then appear as shown below.
- Click “Next” to continue.
- Then, fill in the file name and select a folder for you to save the document. Then click "Next" to continue.
- The last stage, review the documents that will be sent for signature. If it is appropriate, you can click "Send Document" to send the document.
For information, if one or more of the signatories on the document have not been verified by eKYC and the document maker does not have sufficient eKYC quota or does not have quota for documents/eSignature/e-Meterai, then the document maker cannot continue sending the document. Document makers can click "Top Up" in the eKYC quota section and the top up process will be immediately assisted by the Mekari Sign team. Please contact the Mekari Sign team here for the eKYC quota top up process.
It should be noted, if the top up process is not carried out, you cannot continue to the next point. -
