    I have a rental business. How do I make fields that I (as the owner) have to change (dates, costs, etc.) each time before the client has to sign? I made the fields orange (me as signer). Do I have to email them to myself first to add that info or is there a way for me to do that and not have to email them to myself before the client gets the form to sign? Thanks!

    Hi AYP,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    To update fields like dates and costs that you need to change each time before the client signs, you don't have to email the form to yourself first. Instead, you can directly edit those fields in the form before sending it out for signature.

    Here’s how to do it:

    1. Open your form in Form Builder.
    2. Locate and update the fields (such as dates, costs) that you want to change for each client.
    3. Save the changes to the form.
    4. Send the form directly to your client for signing. You can do this by using Jotform Sign automation or by sharing the form link.

    This way, you can make the necessary changes on your end without needing to email the form to yourself first.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Hi reformerrentals,

    If you're using Jotform Sign with multiple signers, then yes, you'll have to send the sign document to yourself first, and then once you submit the document, it will be sent to the next signer. You can set the signing order for your Jotform Sign Document. Let me show you how:

    1. Open your document in Sign Builder, and then click on Send in the green navigation bar at the top of the page.
    2. Then, toggle on the Signing Order feature.
    3. Click and hold the Six Dots icon, then drag them in the order you want.
    4. Now, click on Send to Sign, and you're done.
