Get Started with DocuSign Rooms

Keller Williams has partnered with DocuSign to integrate their document management platform with Opportunities in Command. A DocuSign Room is a secure, digital work space, where we can store documents and get forms signed. We can then pull those forms seamlessly into Command for compliance purposes. Each DocuSign Room must be created from within an Opportunity in Command, which establishes a secure connection and keeps our data protected. Use the resources below to learn how to navigate your DocuSign Rooms account:

Access

To use DocuSign, you will first need to create the DocuSign Room from within an Opportunity in Command. Once you have created the Room, you will go through the Opportunity to access DocuSign, where you can then manage your documents.

DocuSign Terminology

Room

A DocuSign Room is where an agent will manage the necessary documents for that specific Opportunity. Each Opportunity requires a DocuSign Room to be created in order for the parties involved with the transaction to be able to sign all of the necessary documents.

Envelope

Envelopes are what we use to send, sign, and complete forms in DocuSign. Envelopes contain important information about the recipient, documents, document fields, and timestamps to track the delivery progress. They also contain information about the sender, as well as security and authentication information, and more.

eSignature

DocuSign eSignature is a separate section of DocuSign that is not connected with Command. You will do a majority of your work in DocuSign with DocuSign Rooms. You can go to eSignature to either edit your signature or create templates.

Tag/Field/Tab

A DocuSign Tag - also called a Field or Tab – is placed on the document(s) in an envelope and are visible to recipients while they are signing documents electronically. They can include text boxes, check-boxes, signature fields, etc and can be used in many ways. They can be used to indicate to a recipient where their signature or initials are required, they can be used to show data or information to recipients (dates, names, titles) and they can also be used as editable fields where recipients can add information to a document.

Template

A template is pre-set envelope with specific documents, pre-set recipient roles, and fields. Templates help streamline the sending process during a transaction when you frequently send the same or similar documents. For example, if you find yourself having to repeatedly replace DocuSign fields on a document you can create a template instead to save some time.
