Compliance Packets
Compliance packets bundle multiple compliance templates into a single package that is sent to caregivers for electronic signature. Instead of sending individual documents one at a time, a packet provides a streamlined experience where the caregiver completes all required documents in a single session through a secure link.
What Is a Compliance Packet​
A compliance packet is a named collection of compliance templates that are sent together to a caregiver or group of caregivers. Each packet includes:
- A set of compliance templates (documents requiring e-signatures).
- A due date by which the caregiver should complete all documents.
- Configuration for reminders and follow-up.
- Tracking of per-document and overall completion status.
Creating a Compliance Packet​
Step 1: Navigate to Packet Management​
- Navigate to the event's Compliance tab.
- Click Create Packet.
Step 2: Enter Packet Details​
| Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Packet Name | A descriptive name for the packet (e.g., "Pre-Deployment Compliance Packet -- Q1 2026"). | Yes |
| Description | An internal description of the packet's purpose. Not shown to caregivers. | No |
| Due Date | The date by which caregivers should complete all documents in the packet. | Yes |
| Event | The event this packet is associated with. Auto-populated if created from within an event. | Yes |
| Instructions | Instructions displayed to the caregiver at the top of the signing experience (e.g., "Please review and sign each document below. Contact your coordinator if you have questions."). | No |
Step 3: Select Templates​
Add compliance templates to the packet:
- Click Add Templates in the packet builder.
- The template picker shows all Active templates, organized by category.
- Select templates by checking the boxes next to each one. Use search and category filters to find specific templates.
- Click Add Selected to add the chosen templates to the packet.
Ordering Templates​
Templates are presented to the caregiver in the order they appear in the packet. To reorder:
- Drag and drop templates in the packet builder to change the sequence.
- Place the most important or time-sensitive documents first.
Template-Level Settings​
For each template in the packet, you can configure:
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Required | Whether this document must be signed to consider the packet complete. | Yes |
| Order | The display order within the packet. | Sequential by add order |
| Instructions | Template-specific instructions shown to the caregiver before they review the document. | None |
Include a brief, friendly instruction for each document to help caregivers understand what they are signing. For example: "This confidentiality agreement covers your handling of patient information during the event."
Step 4: Configure Reminders​
Set up automatic reminders for caregivers who have not completed the packet by certain milestones:
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Enable Reminders | Toggle automatic email reminders on or off. | On |
| First Reminder | Number of days after the packet is sent to send the first reminder (if not yet complete). | 3 days |
| Second Reminder | Number of days after the first reminder to send a follow-up. | 3 days |
| Final Reminder | Number of days before the due date to send a final reminder. | 1 day |
| CC on Reminders | Additional email addresses to CC on reminder emails (e.g., the event coordinator). | None |
Step 5: Save the Packet​
Click Save to create the packet. It is now in Draft status and ready to be sent.
Sending a Compliance Packet​
Sending to Individual Caregivers​
- Open the compliance packet from the packet list.
- Click Send Packet.
- The caregiver selection panel opens. Search for and select one or more caregivers.
- Review the send summary:
- Number of caregivers receiving the packet.
- Number of documents in the packet.
- Due date.
- Click Confirm Send.
The system:
- Sends an email to each selected caregiver with a secure link to the signing portal.
- Creates a tracking record for each caregiver-packet combination.
- Updates the packet status from Draft to Sent (for the first send).
Bulk Sending​
For large events, use bulk sending to distribute the packet to all or a subset of caregivers:
- Open the compliance packet.
- Click Bulk Send.
- Apply filters to select the target audience:
- All Event Caregivers -- Send to every caregiver assigned to the event.
- By Facility -- Send only to caregivers assigned to specific facilities.
- By Specialty -- Filter by clinical specialty.
- By Compliance Status -- Send to caregivers who have not yet received any compliance packet.
- Review the filtered list and the count of recipients.
- Click Confirm Send.
Sending a compliance packet triggers immediate emails to all selected caregivers. Verify the recipient list carefully before confirming. Packets cannot be "unsent" after delivery.
The Caregiver Signing Experience​
When a caregiver receives the packet email and clicks the secure link:
- They are taken to the Compliance Portal -- a clean, focused signing interface.
- The portal displays the packet instructions and a list of documents to sign.
- The caregiver clicks each document to review it. Merge fields are populated with their personal data.
- At each signature field, the caregiver can:
- Type their name to generate a typed signature.
- Draw their signature using a mouse, trackpad, or touchscreen.
- After signing all required fields in a document, they click Submit to finalize that document.
- They proceed to the next document until all documents are completed.
- Upon completing all documents, a confirmation page appears, and a confirmation email is sent.

Managing Packets​
Packet Statuses​
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | The packet has been created but not yet sent to any caregivers. |
| Sent | The packet has been sent to at least one caregiver. |
| Closed | The packet's due date has passed and has been closed by a coordinator. No further signatures are accepted. |
| Archived | The packet is archived for historical reference. |
Editing a Draft Packet​
Packets in Draft status can be freely edited -- add or remove templates, change the due date, update instructions, or modify reminder settings.
Editing a Sent Packet​
Once a packet has been sent:
- You can change the due date (extending the deadline for completion).
- You can update reminder settings.
- You can add additional caregivers as recipients.
- You cannot add or remove templates from the packet (this would invalidate existing completions).
If you need to add a new document after a packet has been sent, create a supplemental packet containing only the new document and send it to the same caregivers.
Closing a Packet​
To close a packet (stop accepting signatures):
- Open the packet detail page.
- Click Close Packet.
- Confirm the action.
After closing:
- Caregivers who have not completed the packet can no longer access the signing portal.
- The packet status changes to Closed.
- A final completion snapshot is recorded.
Resending to a Caregiver​
If a caregiver lost the email or the link expired:
- Open the packet detail page.
- Find the caregiver in the recipient list.
- Click Resend next to their name.
- A new email with a fresh link is sent. The previous link remains valid as well.
