Labeling
Clear display text and internal identifier to prevent ambiguity between UI and backend references.
A standardized template reduces implementation errors, clarifies signer expectations, and helps maintain regulatory and audit-ready records for multi-party electronic workflows.
Completed templates serve as configuration artifacts that developers, administrators, and auditors can reference during deployment and after release.
Product Managers define button labels, placement, and the user stories they support. They coordinate with design and engineering to confirm accessibility, expected state changes, and edge-case behavior before signing off on production changes.
Compliance Leads review actions that affect consent, record retention, or disclosures. They confirm that any button creating a legal record or altering agreement terms meets ESIGN/UETA requirements and that retention and audit trails are preserved.
| Field | Configuration |
