Multiple documents

SWF 2.5.6 and earlier and PAS 5.1.4 and earlier only supports one document per errand but with the later versions, both SWF and PAS supports signing multiple documents in one errand, meaning only one sign action per signer is needed to sign multiple documents.

The default limit is set to 10 documents per errand, but this could be increased with the maxDocumentsproperty in the config.json overlay settings file. Increasing this limit could lead to potential performance issues, which is why we recommend not to increase this property. Both SWF/PAS can work with any version of SWF/PAS but both services needs to upgraded to support multiple documents.

Configuring multiple documents

To enable the multiple document feature, we use the property allowMultipleFiles and it could be set in three different ways:

  • Unset or null - old architechture, compatible with PAS 5.1.4 and earlier
  • false - new architechture, but will only accept one file per errand
  • true - new architechture, will accept multiple files

The PAS Prism module also needs to be configured to run in non-legacy mode, see the PAS Prism documentation for further information.

Appendixes

Appendixes, a document only used to support signers in their signing but isn't supposed to be signed, are also supported. These documents will not be signed, but will be shown in the signing flow and the user doesn't have to view them before signing the documents. To add an appendix, upload it as documents are usually uploaded and flip the "to be signed" toggle. Since appendixes won't be signed, they don't need to have the configured PDF flavor.
