Sequential vs. parallel workflows
Understanding workflow types Signit allows you to define how documents are sent to participants by choosing between sequential and parallel workflows:
-
Sequential Workflows:
- The document is sent to participants one at a time, in the specified order.
- Each participant must complete their action (e.g., sign, approve) before the next participant receives the document.
- Use Case: Ideal for processes requiring hierarchical approvals, such as manager and director sign-offs.
-
Parallel Workflows:
- The document is sent to all participants simultaneously.
- Participants can act on the document at the same time, independently of one another.
- Use Case: Best for group approvals or signatures that don’t require a strict order.
Tip: Choose the workflow type based on the nature of your signing process and participants’ roles.
