Delivery Statuses

How Delivery Statuses are Assigned

Button	Originating Report Delivery Status	Report Delivery Status Updated To
Deliver	Complete or Final	Delivered
Publish (AgilePort Users Only)	Complete or Final	Delivered
Sign (AgileStamp Users Only)	Complete	Final
Sign (AgileStamp Users Only)	Delivered (unsigned)	Delivered When Sign is selected for an unsigned Delivered report, the original unsigned report will remain and a signature will be applied to a copy of the report. Both reports remain in Delivered status.

Both signed and unsigned reports can have a status of Delivered. You can tell if a Delivered report has been signed by viewing the Signed By column.

How to Digitally Sign Reports in Delivery

If Digital Signature is available to you, you’ll see a button labeled, Sign above the reports table in Delivery.

Follow these steps to sign the report(s):

Step	Description
1.	Mark the checkboxes of the report(s) you would like to digitally sign.
2.	Select Sign.
3.	In the popup that appears, enter your AgileStamp™ credentials and select Sign again. The type of signature image applied to the report will depend on the type of signature defined by the Administrator for the report type.

When signing multiple reports, if at least one of the report types selected does not allow a digital signature, you will get a message that one or more reports were not signed, but the others were.
The Signed By column will indicate which reports were signed.
