Sending Associated documents for Signatures along with the main Agreement[edit]
ICM allows the Primary Owner to select and attach individual copies of the Associated documents along with the main Agreement and send them for signatures via DocuSign, after adding the signatory tags. The Signatories can not only view but also sign these Associated Documents. Thus, the signatory can have all the information required to sign the Agreement at once, so that they do not need to download each of the associated documents separately to find the required information.
Note: DocuSign supports only PDF and .docx format. This feature is not supported by Adobe Sign.
To select and share Associated documents with the Agreement for e-signature using DocuSign:
1. Ensure that you have a script type of Attribute DocuSignAssociatedDocuments in the Contract Type.
2. Open the Agreement with the Associations to be sent for signature using DocuSign.

5. Click the Upload Document button.
6. Click Select File in theUpload Document window to upload a file to the association.
Note: You can associate Masterdata Contract Types and create instances for the Masterdata Contract Type. You can also associate peer associations. However, only the Association instances that contain .pdf and .docx files are displayed. Other formats are not supported when using DocuSign and cannot be previewed.
7. Click the Send For Approval button to send the Agreement for approval.
8. Click the Send for External Signature button to send the Agreement with associated documents for e-signatures using DocuSign. The DocuSign Mail Details window opens. This option is available only if the DocuSign Associated Document attribute is configured at the Agreement Contract Type level.

Signatories can sign the Parent-Child type of Associations along with the main Agreement Document . If signature tags are not present in any of the Parent-Child Association, then signing is not mandatory.
After signing, Version and History of only the signed Parent Child Association and main Agreement is uploaded and generated with name of the last signatory.
