Now you just need to connect your MOXIS instance to Explorer to MOXIS. The next section provides information on the individual steps.

2. How to connect Explorer to MOXIS with your MOXIS instance

The linking of your MOXIS instance via URL is only necessary the first time you use the add-in or if the MOXIS URL changes. To link MOXIS with Explorer to MOXIS, please follow the step-by-step instructions.

Step 1: Open Explorer to MOXIS as described in the previous chapter.

Step 2: Click on the cogwheel icon (see figure 8 [1]) to open the settings on the plug-in dashboard. Here you can connect Explorer to MOXIS to your current MOXIS instance.

01a_Startseite_Explorer_to_MOXIS.png

Figure 8: Open Explorer to MOXIS settings

Step 3: Now enter the URL of your MOXIS instance in the settings (see figure 9 [1]) and click on the [Save]-button (see figure 9 [2]). If your instance is successfully connected, you will receive a corresponding success message in green (see figure 9 [5]).  

XiTip
Please note: Use only the SHORT FORM of the URL (WITHOUT ui/protected/#!dashboard), as this represents your instance! If you use the long form, the connection will fail and you will receive an error message.

In our example, we therefore enter the following short form of the URL in the MOXIS settings: https://demo50.moxis.cloud (see figure 10)

The long form (which is displayed in the browser by default) is: https://demo50.moxis.cloud/ui/protected/#!dashboard (see figure 10)

Apart from the connection between your MOXIS instance and Explorer to MOXIS, you have the following options in the settings:

  • set your preferred theme (light - dark - default; (see figure 9 [3]))

  • get information about your Explorer to MOXIS version (see figure 9 [4])

Step 4: Congratulations! You have successfully connected your instance to Explorer to MOXIS

3. Simple signing with Explorer to MOXIS – this is how you start the signing process

There are two options for starting signing jobs via Explorer to MOXIS:

  • directly via the Explorer (recommended) or

  • via the desktop

The subsequent signing process is always the same.

3.1 Starting the signing process in Explorer to MOXIS via the Explorer (recommended)

Step 1: Open the Explorer and navigate to the document you want to have signed. A simple right-click on the document opens a menu (see figure 11).

Step 2: In the next step, please click on Sign with MOXIS (see figure 11 [1]).

Step 3: Provided you are logged into MOXIS, the MOXIS interface will now open automatically. Alternatively, you will need to log in briefly as an intermediate step. Either way, please select your desired process in the interface that has now opened (see figure 12).

After that, you can complete the signature job as usual. For a description, see chapter 4.

3.2 Start the signature process in Explorer to MOXIS via the desktop

Step 1: To initiate a signing job via Explorer to MOXIS via the desktop, open the plug-in and drag the PDF you want to sign into the grey field using drag and drop (see figure 13)

Step 2: As soon as you have moved the PDF into the field, the MOXIS interface will open (see figure 14 [2]). At the same time, you will receive a message that the PDF has been successfully uploaded (see figure 14 [1]).

Please note: The prerequisite for the MOXIS interface to open immediately is that you are already logged in to your MOXIS instance. Otherwise, you have to log in in an intermediate step.

After that, you can complete the signature job as usual. You can find a description of how to do this in the next chapter.

4. How to complete the job

After you have selected the process, the PDF to be signed opens and you can process the document to be signed as usual as a job.

In the course of processing the signing job (see figure 15), please define the following:

  • whether you need one or more iterations (in our example, there is only one; see figure 15 [1])

  • the signature quality (in our example, it is a qualified signature; see Figure 15 [2]) and

  • the number and quality (internal/external) of the recipients

Add one or more placeholders for the signatures and click the [Sign]-button.
