Enable or disable audit trails

Written by Bradley LaFave

Siteline allows subcontractors and vendors to sign pay apps, lien waivers, and other documents electronically. By complying with the E-Sign Act, these digital signatures carry the same weight and the same legal effect as traditional paper documents and wet ink signatures.

Part of this compliance to the E-Sign Act requires a signature audit trail to be made available to all signers. By default, this audit trail is included on all documents that are signed on Siteline. At any time, you can disable audit trails at the project level.

To adjust audit trail settings at the company level, please follow the instructions in Update and edit your company information.

Digital signature audits are enabled by default for all new projects and only appear after a document has been signed. They can be disabled in project settings.

  1. In the Billing module, go to a project, then click Settings.

  2. Click Forms on the left, or scroll down to the section titled Forms.

  3. Click Edit to the right of the Forms title to change the setting.

Turning off audit trails does not affect pay apps that have been marked as paid, because they are considered final and will not be modified retroactively.
