| Application route | Intended audience |
|---|---|
| /lex/contracts/[id]/signature | Contract owners, signature coordinators and approvers |
#Before you start
- Sign in as contract owners, signature coordinators and approvers and confirm WatheeqTech shows /lex/contracts/[id]/signature; hidden controls indicate that your account lacks the required permission.
- Open the record from its owning register or a trusted notification so you begin with the correct tenant, record identifier and current lifecycle state.
- Collect the reason, authority and supporting evidence required for any governed decision or state transition.
#How to use this page
- 1Verify the record and state
Confirm the final approved version, signatories, signing order, authority and unresolved compliance blockers before creating an envelope.
- 2Complete the permitted action
Send through the configured provider and monitor recipient, provider-event and custody evidence without bypassing approval state.
- 3Confirm the transition
After completion, verify the signed file, hashes, timestamps and envelope status are attached to the correct contract version.
#Governance and expected result
- Operate only within the tenant, role and record visibility granted to you.
- Record the decision, reason and supporting evidence before completing a governed action.
- Use the page action for the transition rather than changing source data or maintaining a parallel offline status.
- Verify the resulting status, owner, timeline, version or audit event before leaving the page.
You used /lex/contracts/[id]/signature to validate signature readiness and create or monitor the governed envelope for an approved contract version. The result is visible in WatheeqTech and traceable to the acting user, tenant and source legal record.
