In Mekari Sign, you can upload, authenticate, and send documents directly to the relevant parties. Uploaded documents can be signed using the PSrE option, where the documents have digital certificates recognized by the Ministry of Communication.

Here are the steps:

  1. Log in to your Mekari Sign account.

  2. In the Document menu, click "Upload document".

    - You can also upload documents through the eMeterai menu by clicking "Use eMeterai" and selecting New document.
    - There is currently a Bulk upload option if you want to upload multiple documents.

  3. Drag or click the "Browse" icon to upload the document you want to authenticate. 

  4. Next, at the bottom, you can see the following three icons. You can create a document from a blank page (Start blank page), use a template that has already been created (Use template), or select a document from the cloud (Select from cloud).

  5. Next, you will see the following icons. At this stage, you can upload a Single document, merge documents, send multiple documents to one email (Multiple documents sent as one email) , or send them to separate emails (Multiple documents sent as separate emails).

    - If the following icon appears, you must upgrade your plan to the Pro package to access this feature.

    - You can upload documents in PDF, JPG, JPEG, DOC, and DOCX file formats. The maximum file size that can be uploaded is 25 MB. We recommend that you use the PDF file format so that the contents of the uploaded document remain intact. Also, make sure that the document you upload does not have a password or other electronic certificates.

  6. Click “Single document” to upload one document.

  7. To merge documents, click “Merge documents”.

  8. Then select the documents to be merged. The following pop-up will appear. Click “Merge documents”, then click “Save”.

    You can also check ‘Save as default’ if you want ‘Merge documents’ to be applied to every document you upload.

  9. You can also send multiple documents in 1 email by clicking “Multiple documents sent as one email”.

  10. Then select the documents to be merged and sent in 1 email. The following pop-up will appear. You can click “Merge documents” to combine the documents into one file, or click "Separate documents” to separate the documents to be uploaded. If you select ‘Separate documents’, click “Send as one email” to send the documents in 1 email. Then click “Save”.

  11. You can also send multiple documents in separate emails by clicking “Multiple documents sent as separate emails”.

  12. Then select the documents to be merged and sent in separate emails. You can click “Merge documents” to combine the documents into one file, or click "Separate documents” to separate the documents to be uploaded. If you choose to send the documents separately, click “Separate documents”, then click “Send as separated email” to send the documents in separate emails. Then click “Save”.

  13. In the Upload document stage, there is an AI feature that easily detects the type of document you want to upload. You do not need to select the document type because it has already been selected by AI. Learn here how to activate it.

  14. To change the document type, click one of the document descriptions.

  15. Then select the document type and click “Submit”.

  16. Next, you can enter a Group Name if needed. This field will be filled in automatically, but you can still change or add a Group Name to the existing one.

  17. Next, you can add attachments that can be viewed by the signers and recipients receiving copies of the document by clicking “Upload attachment” and choosing whether to upload the attachment from your computer or cloud storage.

    You can add up to 10 attachments, with a maximum size of 20 MB.

  18. In the Attached to field, you can check Require review if the attachment must be opened before the document is signed.

    Check Send the attachment via email if you also want the attachment to be sent by email.

  19. Then select PSrE under Document compliance.

  20. If the document you created already has a template, you can use the template by clicking the “down arrow” and then clicking “Use Template to Annotate”.

  23. Then check Save new recipient data to Contact list to save new contact information if an email is not registered in your contacts, then enter the document recipient’s information.

     

    If the document recipient is from Singapore (registered with a Singapore phone number), the following pop-up will appear when you continue to the next stage. Click “Continue with selected compliance”.

  24. Select the action to be performed by the document recipient. Select Needs to sign if you need that person to sign, and select Receives a copy to send them a copy.

    The signing order is determined by the order you set on the Who needs to sign? page. The person in the first position will receive the email first. After the first person signs the document, the second person will receive the document email, and so on. 

  25. Then click “Add another signer” if you want to add more than one ‘signer’. You can also click “Add others”. To add yourself as a ‘signer’, click “Add me as signer” . To add a ‘signer’ from a ‘contact group’ that has been created, click “Select from contact group”.

    - If you select ‘Select from contact group’, the following screen will appear. Check the existing contact group toggle, then select “Select”.

    - Then enter the Group name and Description. Click “Save”.

  26. After adding another signer (add another signer), you can move the toggle “Set the signing order” to apply a signing order, where Step 1 is the person who must sign the document first and Step 2 can sign the document after Step 1 is complete.

    - Click “+Add signer” to add another signer to the same step.
    - Signers in Step 1 can sign the document simultaneously, and signers in step 2 can sign after the users in Step 1 have finished signing the document.

  28. You will then see the first tab, which contains Additional Details. Here, you can add information such as the company name, title, and address.

  29. The second tab contains security settings. By moving the toggle Require access passcode, you can add a passcode so that only people with the passcode can open the document.

  30. The third tab contains settings related to sending document messages. You can move the toggle Customize email notification messages to set the notifications recipients receive when a signing request arrives in their email, when the signature status is complete, and when the document status is completed or all signers have finished signing the document.

  31. Move the toggle Send notifications via WhatsApp and enter the phone number registered with WhatsApp to receive document-related notifications via WhatsApp.

    - Click ‘ID’ to change the country code if the recipient is an International recipient.

  39. Select the document type and check Provided by document maker if the eMeterai is provided by the document creator.

    - If you check the Provided by document maker checkbox, a notification like this will appear, and the eMeterai quota will be deducted immediately (the serial number has been generated by the system). If the document is voided, the eMeterai quota cannot be returned.
