How digital signatures work at Sabentis

Digital signatures in Sabentis allow you to formalize processes that require evidence of acceptance or validation—such as reported risks, read policies, delivered documents, or training records—paperlessly and without leaving the platform. The result is traceable evidence, linked to the document and the signatory, available for audits and inspections.

The three sections of the module

The Digital Signature module has three distinct areas, each with a different purpose:

📨

Requests

The technician or manager creates and sends signature requests to employees or collaborators. The document is selected, the signatories are defined, and the request is sent.

/fuse/home/firmadigital/solicitudes
✍️

My signatures

Personal view where each user sees the documents pending their own signature and those they have already signed.

/fuse/home/firmadigital/signatures
📊

Signature tracking

Control panel for the manager. Allows you to see the status of all submitted requests: who has signed, who has a pending signature, and when each request expires.

How to create a signature request

  1. Go to Digital Signature > Requests.
  2. Click New request.
  3. Select the signature provider configured on your instance.
  4. Attach or select the document to be signed.
  5. Add the signatories —workers or collaborators of the platform.
  6. Define the expiration date of the request if applicable.
  7. Press Send.
💡 Good practiceThe signatories receive a notification and access the document fromMy signaturesor from the Employee Portal. If you need to ensure prior reading, attach the policy or information document to the same request.

How does the employee sign?

  1. The worker receives a notification at Sabentis or by mail.
  2. Access My Signatures or the Employee Portal.
  3. Locate the pending document.
  4. They review it and sign it digitally.
  5. The system records the signature with date, time and signer identifier.

From that moment the document is closed and the evidence is available for download.

What happens if a signatory does not sign before the expiration date?
The request is marked as expired in the tracking panel. You can create a new request for that signatory.
