Admin-First Signing Orders
We’ve heard from many programs—especially AmeriCorps clients—that sometimes admin need to sign documents first before they’re sent to reporters. Whether it’s entering start dates, site details, or slot types, some forms simply need to begin with your leadership team.
Now, you can choose from a full suite of Admin-First Signing Orders to match your process exactly—no more workarounds!
What Are Admin-First Signing Orders?
These flows begin with your Directors or Site Supervisors before a reporter is asked to sign. They’re perfect for documents like:
-
Reporter Service Agreements
-
Mid-Term & End-Term Evaluations
-
Any form where admin complete data or approvals first
All Available Admin-First Orders
| Signing Order | Description |
|---|---|
| Site Supervisors → Reporters | Supervisor completes and signs first; then reporter completes and signs. |
| Site Supervisors → Reporters → Directors | Supervisor begins; reporter signs next; Director finalizes. |
| Site Supervisors → Directors → Reporters | Supervisor starts; Director signs next; reporter finishes. |
| Directors → Reporters | Director completes first; reporter follows. |
| Directors → Site Supervisors → Reporters | Director leads; supervisor signs second; reporter wraps up. |
| NEW: Directors → Reporters → Site Supervisors | Director begins with initial data and signature, reporter completes and signs next, and the supervisor finishes with final review and sign-off. |
