Document title, version, and responsible department so reviewers instantly identify scope and ownership.
A Business Document VIVObook standardizes documents, clarifies who signs what, and preserves an audit-ready package for compliance. By combining templates, fillable fields, and a single signature workflow, it reduces rework, improves traceability, and supports electronic execution under ESIGN and UETA where permitted.
Different teams assemble or sign a VIVObook depending on document type and industry; the following summarizes common roles.
Assign clear ownership for each section (preparer, reviewer, signer) to speed completion and maintain an auditable trail.
| Field | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Upload Method | PDF or DOCX upload with OCR for field detection |
| Field Detection | Enable automatic magic fields to auto-place name and date fields |
| Conditional Logic | Set visible fields to appear only when triggered by prior answers |
| Authentication | Choose email, SMS code, or KBA based on risk level |
