DocuSign - Remove Document step

Use the Remove Document step to remove a document from a DocuSign envelope.

Knowledge of how DocuSign works is required to use the DocuSign integration provided by the product. You may learn more about DocuSign from the DocuSign website at https://www.docusign.com.

You can, for example, use the Remove Document step to remove a document from an envelope before it is sent, or, if there are changes to the document after it has been sent, to remove it and go back to previous signing and sending steps.

Drag the Remove Document step from the DocuSign category, Favorites bar, or the Recent category onto the canvas.

Select the added step and click the expand / collapse toggle to expand the Configuration Panel. You can also double click the step to expand the panel.
Select the Remove Document tab. Use this tab to configure the DocuSign service instance, envelope ID, and document ID.

The following table explains the options available on this tab:

Option	Explanation	How to Use
DocuSign Service	This is the service instance you registered to integrate with the product. You can register multiple service instances when needed, but only one is required. In the case where you have multiple service instances, and you have templates in another service instance, make sure the templates created in DocuSign are shared if you need them available for all service instances.	Select the service instance from the menu.
Envelope ID	The Envelope ID is a common identifier that is required to perform the functions for this step at runtime. The Envelope ID is returned creating a new envelope or is retrieved by executing the List method of the envelope service object. It is recommended that you store the Envelope ID in a variable and use it within the step to retrieve the correct Envelope ID. Use this variable in any of the DocuSign steps, in the same workflow, where the Envelope ID is required.	Type values or create dynamic values by dragging Functions, Fields, SmartObjects and Workflow-related items from the Context Browser into the fields. When a SmartObject Load method property is used, an input property is required for the correct data to load.
Document ID	Allows you to specify the ID of the document to be removed from the envelope. Use a non-negative, whole number as the ID. You can instead use a variable, created earlier in the workflow with the Add Document's return property mappings, to specify the ID.	Type values or create dynamic values by dragging Functions, Fields, SmartObjects and Workflow-related items from the Context Browser into the fields. When a SmartObject Load method property is used, an input property is required for the correct data to load.

From the DocuSign Service menu, select the service instance. Add the Envelope ID and type a value, use inline functions, or use dynamic fields by clicking the expand or collapse toggle to expand the Context Browser. Within the Context Browser, select inline functions from the Functions, Fields, SmartObjects or the Workflow categories to define your function. Click and drag the function on to the field.
Specify which document you need to remove from the envelope in the Document ID field. Type values or create dynamic values by dragging Functions, Fields, SmartObjects and Workflow-related items from the Context Browser into the fields.
With the step selected, select the Properties tab.

The following table explains the options available on this tab:

Option	Explanation	How to Use
Title / Name	By default, each step on the canvas has a step title. You can change this title to suit your workflow logic and show it on the canvas by checking the Show Label box.	Enter a value into the Title/Name field.
Reset link	Use the link to reset any changes to the title.	Click the Reset link to reset the Title/Name field to default value.
Show Label	Allows you to see the step label on the canvas. The label shows the value of the title.	Check the check box to display step label on the canvas.
Description	Allows you to add a detailed description for the step.	Enter a value into the Create New field.
Notes	Allows you to add additional notes for the step.	Enter a value into the Notes field.

Click the Errors tab.

Different types of exceptions can occur on a step, such as:

Type	Description
Known exceptions	Any SmartWizard or standard wizard that has Boolean options for handling known exceptions have these options displayed as check boxes in the Known exceptions section of the Exceptions tab.
Unhandled exceptions	Any unknown runtime exceptions.

The tab contains the following known exceptions:

Exception	Explanation	How to Use
Continue on error	On step execution and an error occurs, continue to the next step in the workflow.	Check the check box to continue if an error occurs. Uncheck the check box to stop workflow execution if an error occurs.

The tab contains the following unhandled exceptions:

Exception	Explanation
Log Exception	Logs the exception to the error log.
Force error when required SmartObject inputs are missing	Will forcefully throw an error if a SmartObject method has input missing.
Continue on error	Will force the workflow to continue running the SmartObject method, even if it runs into an error.

The exceptions in the table above is an example of those available in Workflow steps. The exceptions available depend on the Workflow step used in the design canvas.
