4. Log into DocuSign development with the user created for Campus Café to impersonate

5. Campus Café will now be approved to create document envelopes with DocuSign 

Create DocuSign Template

A DocuSign template (sometimes known as an envelope) is created in DocuSign to hold the content of the document and signatures. Refer to DocuSign documentation for detailed information on templates. The below provides details on how to connect signers and pass information from Campus Cafe to the DocuSign template.

1. Log in to DocuSign development if initially configuring the integration or DocuSign production after configuration is complete

2.  Click Templates

3. Click New > Create Template

4. Give your template a name and, optionally, a description

5. Add a Document to serve as the content; the integration supports an envelope containing five or fewer documents

6. Add Recipients; for envelopes with multiple recipients, you must check Set signing order.

   • For a Student signer in Role enter Student and leave Name and Email empty

   • For a parent 1 signer in Role enter Parent1 and leave Name and Email empty. A parent is someone connected to the student with a relationship code of PAR. The parent must have a valid email address in Campus Cafe. If Parent1 and Parent2 two are set to the same DocuSign signing order then only one parent will be required to sign, otherwise both parents will be required to sign. If the DocuSign template contains only Parent1, the system will choose the first parent added to the system.

   • For a parent 2 signer in Role enter Parent2 and leave Name and Email empty. A parent is someone connected to the student with a relationship code of PAR. The parent must have a valid email address in Campus Cafe. If Parent2 and Parent1 two are set to the same DocuSign signing order then only one parent will be required to sign, otherwise both will be required to sign. 

   • For an administrator 1 signer in Role enter Admin and leave Name and Email empty. The administrator is then chosen based on the workflow definition in Campus Cafe. The administrator must have a valid preferred email address in Campus Cafe.

   • For an administrator 2 signer in Role enter Admin2 and leave Name and Email empty. The administrator is then chosen based on the workflow definition in Campus Cafe. The administrator must have a valid preferred  email address in Campus Cafe.

   • For an administrator 3 signer in Role enter Admin3 and leave Name and Email empty. The administrator is then chosen based on the workflow definition in Campus Cafe. The administrator must have a valid preferred  email address in Campus Cafe.

7. Click Next to add fields to the form. Fields are either additional information entered by the signer or information transmitted from Campus Cafe to the DocuSign template. Certain information about students may be transferred from Campus Cafe to the DocuSign template. To do so, add a text field in the DocuSign template with the proper Data Label Value. For example, to insert the student's first name into the DocuSign template, add a text box with the Data Label of Student_FName. A complete list of Data Label Values appears below. Data Label values are case sensitive. Campus Cafe recommends
   you make the fields read only or the signer will be able to edit the data.

   Open

   

8. Add additional text fields as desired

9. Click Save and Close

Data Labels for Mergeable Fields

Expected Graduation and Years to Complete Fields

The expected graduation dates are drawn from semesters set up on the Campus Cafe semester dates maintenance screen. Semesters must have expected graduation terms configured and end dates. The system will look first to match a semester on the applicant or student's site and then to the semester with no site if a match is not available. Additionally, each major must have years to complete configured.

Routing and Signing

If the applicant or student is the first recipient, the applicant or student will see the a link to sign the DocuSign template in his or her Campus Cafe applicant status or document portal. The applicant or student will not receive an email notification unless set up as part of the workflow. After the student signs, subsequent signers will be notified by email of the need to sign the DocuSign template. The email contains a link to bring them to the DocuSign template to sign.

If the parent or administrator is the first recipient, the signer will be notified by email of the need to sign the DocuSign template. The email contains a link to bring the signer to the DocuSign template to sign. 

After each party signs the DocuSign template an updated PDF of the template is put in Campus Cafe.
