How to Approve a Contract

When a Contract is first created, the Contract goes into a DRAFT status and requires approval from another user.

Method 1: Manual Approval​

Method 2: Digital Signature Request​

Digital Signature Request Contract Lifecycle​

DRAFT -> Send Digital Signature Request -> AWAITING_SIGNATURE -> Counterparty Contact Signs -> ACTIVE

The second method for updating a contract's status to ACTIVE is to send a digital signature request to the counterparty's contact. VisViva will send a digital signature request to the counterparty and when the counterparty signs the contract VisViva will automatically update the contract status to ACTIVE upon contract execution.
