Use Case: Real Estate Firm

Imagine a real estate firm handling multiple lease agreements for landlords and tenants. By leveraging custom field support, they can:

  • Design a lease template with tailored text fields for individual details.

  • Assign text fields specific to landlords (e.g., name, contact) and tenants (e.g., rent terms, payment details).

  • Simplify the signing process by ensuring all relevant data is captured correctly and complies with legal requirements.


Troubleshooting and Common Questions

Q: Is it possible to move text fields after they’ve been assigned?

A: Yes, text fields can still be moved after assignment. Always preview the document to make sure the fields are properly placed.

Q: What if the recipient fills out an incorrect field?

A: It’s easy to resolve errors like this in the CRM. Recipients can be asked to clear the field, which can then be reassigned or corrected.

Q: How many text fields are allowed in a single document?

A: There is no strict limit to the number of text fields. However, it's best to include only what’s necessary for clarity and smooth completion.
