As of 6/15/2022, html HTML tags cannot be used to customize instructions for PowerForms. 

...

Agreement Name

  • Displays in the subject line of emails and in Adobe Sign for the sender & signers.

  • Displays in the "Agreement Name" section of the PowerForm if it is not hidden via the WFSetting_HideAgreementName setting.

  • Replacement variables can be added with “${variable}” where "variable" is replaced with the merge field document field name or recipient role name.

Message

  • Displays in the email body to all recipients and as a message from the sender within each signing session.

  • Replacement variables can be added with “${variable}” where "variable" is replaced with the merge field document field name or recipient role name.

Cc

  • Displays on the PowerForm after the "Recipients" section if marked as "Editable" and the "Maximum" value entered exceeds the number of default email addresses entered.

  • Use for recipients who always need to receive a copy as there is no role for "Receives a Copy" in the "Recipients" section of the workflow designer.

  • To remove CCs from the PowerForm:

    • Set the minimum & maximum number to “0” (if you skip this the PowerForm will fail. This bug will be resolved with the mid-May update)

  • To allow the requester to add CCs:

    • Check "Editable"

    • Set both a minimum & maximum number

    • The number of default emails entered will be deducted from the minimum and maximum number of CCs shown on the PowerForm.

    • Example: Entered value = "test1@calpoly.edu;test2@calpoly.edu", minimum = 3, & maximum = 8. This will result in 6 CC's showing on the PowerForm with the first one required.

  • To enter emails and not allow requester to add CCs:

    • Check "Editable"

    • Set a minimum & maximum number that matches the number of email addresses entered

    • Example: Entered value = "test1@calpoly.edu;test2@calpoly.edu", minimum = 1, & maximum = 1. This will result in 0 CC's showing on the PowerForm.

  • Entered emails will not be shown on the PowerForm.

  • To send to more than one email, use a comma or semicolon between each address.

Upon successful testing of the workflow within Adobe Sign, follow the steps listed here to test the PowerForm. After the mid-May update of the PowerForm application, steps 2 and 3 below will be replaced by copying the workflow Id from the “ID” column of the “Custom Workflows” section within Adobe Sign.

  1. Confirm the PowerForm service account - adobesign@calpoly.edu - is a member of the group the templates and workflow are shared with.

  2. Go to https://adobesign.calpoly.edu/PowerForm/api/workflows.json

  3. Find the activated workflow by name and copy the workflow Id (without the quotes).

  4. Open a new browser window or tab in your web browser and enter the following URL: https://adobesign.calpoly.edu/PowerForm/Paste the workflow Id from Step 2

  5. Open Adobe Sign and navigate to your workflowand copy the “ID”.

  6. Add the ID from Step 3 to the end of the URL from Step 32 to create your PowerForm URL.

  7. Publish the PowerForm URL when testing is complete for your intended audience.
