Setting up the Docubee options
Permissions
The first step after installing Docubee is to assign your users and admins the appropriate permission sets.
- On the BC Users page find the Permission Sets section and add the PVS DB USER permission set to all of your users
- On the BC Users page find the Permission Sets section and add the PVS DB SETUP permission set to anyone who will be working to setup the Docubee functionality
Adding Docubee Fields
In order for Docubee to add interactive fields to a PrintVis report these fields need setup.
- Go to Service Connections, open the Docubee Setup option, and click Document fields in the menu
- Anchor strings are values that when added to a report layout will turn that anchor into a Docubee fillable field. Create all the fields that you will want customers to be able to complete on the report layout and determine whether the field is required or optional.
- Edit the report layouts you want to use for Docubee as you would normally edit a report layout by going to Report Layouts and clicking Export Layout
- Edit the layout, adding the anchor string values where you want Docubee to add the user entered fields.
- When done, return to the Report Layouts page, click Replace Layout and upload your updated document
Creating Docubee Workflows
When Docubee documents are returned signed, declined, or expired it is possible to setup workflows in PrintVis to update information on the case or notify the salesperson or coordinator.
- Go to Service Connections, open the Docubee Setup option, and click Document Workflows in the menu
- Click New to create a new workflow.
Each workflow represents a unique process for when a document is sent, signed, declined, or expired. For example: When a quote is signed you might want to update the case status to ORDER and email the salesperson and coordinator. Or if you send an artwork approval document, you might want to mark a proof sent milestone as completed. These are some of the unique workflows you might want to setup for each step in the process. On the Document workflow card, you can also set the default email subject and body for that process in the workflow. The tooltips provide the available % codes that can be used to fill in information from the case. Currently, Docubee only supports plain text entry for these email values.
Assigning Reports as Docubee Reports
In order for PrintVis to know that you want to use Docubee for a specific report, you must assign each report as available for Docubee
-
Go to PrintVis Report Selection Setup
-
Select the Report Type you want to use and then on the Report ID line check the Use for Docubee Signature checkbox, assign the appropriate document workflows (if applicable), and determine whether you want Docubee to add a Decline button or allow a user to delegate the signing to someone else
-
Do this for each report type that you want to use Docubee for signatures
-
For the Artwork Approval report, you will need to go to PrintVis Docubee Report Selection Setup until we can update the PrintVis Report Selection Setup page to allow for outside customizations and apps to extend the list.
Adding Docubee Documents to PrintVis Folders
It is possible to automatically add sent, signed, or declined documents to PrintVis folders.
- Go to PrintVis Folder Groups Setup, select the Folder Group, then click Folders
- For each folder it is possible to assign which Docubee Sent, Signed, or Declined document type you want added to each folder
- On the PrintVis Report Setup page for each report you will also need to make sure the Folder Group Code is filled in with the appropriate folder group
Creating a Job Queue Entry to check for document status
For PrintVis to automatically check sent document for status updates, a job queue entry is required.
-
Go to Service Connections, open the Docubee Setup option, and click Create/Check Job Queue Entry in the menu
-
A job queue entry is created and will be set by default to check every 5 minutes
Branding the Docubee email and signature page
