Automated folder destination for Precisely documents

By setting up automated archiving for a template, all contracts created from that template are automatically stored in the correct folder. Having automated archiving set up on each template includes the following:

• documents will automatically be located in the wanted Archive folder, and there’s no need to manually move them in the Archive from one place to another
• teams with access to that specific folder will automatically get access to:
  • documents in that folder in Archive
  • corresponding project in Draft & Sign

Importing external documents into Precisely Archive

As mentioned, contracts created and electronically signed through Precisely are automatically stored in your digital archive. While legacy contracts and contracts that you've signed manually are easily imported.
