Avionté partners with Adobe Sign® to provide electronic document services - PDFs of handbooks, W-4 forms, I-9s, etc.

Adobe Sign is used to support Talent Tasks in the AviontéAERO Recruiter and Talent Modules. Admins create document templates (W-4, I-9, etc.) in the Adobe Sign interface. From there, the documents are managed in the Recruiter Module then sent to talent to be completed and returned.

Avionté Strategic Account Executives set up clients with an Adobe Sign account.

Adobe Help Content

While Avionté has detailed support articles for configuring Adobe documents relating to the Avionté application, the Adobe Sign interface has its own comprehensive collection of help content covering the Adobe interface, layout, and issues specific to the Adobe application.

Adobe Account Setup

When initially setting up an Adobe Sign account, an email address will be required. Users should ensure the email address is not one previously used to set up an Adobe account. To avoid any issues altogether, it may be a good idea to create a new generic email address for this purpose.
Once an Adobe Sign account is activated, the associated email address will receive a confirmation request. If the link in the confirmation email is not used, it will expire. The confirmation link in the email eventually expires. To generate a new confirmation link, contact your Avionté representative.

Access

Following the setup of an Adobe Sign through an Avionté Account Manager, the Adobe integration is connected to the Avionté Web Platform through the Recruiter Module's Admin > Integrations > Adobe Sign® for E-Signature Documents area.

The Adobe Sign web page may prompt for access credentials (supplied during setup with an Avionté SAE.)

Note: When initially creating an Adobe account, the account should be set up with an email address not associated with a specific user. If a recruiter uses their email address to set up an administrator in the Adobe account there may be permission conflicts when the same email address is used in a recruiter capacity.

Auditing Adobe Documents

Audit by Document Type

In the event of an audit request from a government agency, E-Signature documents within a specific date range can be accessed from the Admin > Documentation Audit section. Use the Documentation audit area to select document types used during a specific date range. The application will gather all use instances of that document and organize an audit report in Adobe PDF.

As an example, if an audit of the Alabama W-4 form usage between the dates of April 3, 2017 and April 3, 2018 is requested, the PDF will list ALL instances of the Alabama W-4 document completed in that time. If 4,725 Alabama W-4s were completed in that time, the PDF will display 4,725 audit rows.

When documents are selected and Submit is clicked, every instance of those document type is retrieved. In some cases, there may be thousands which is why a confirmation window will display an estimated time to retrieve all of the selected documents.

When the process is complete, an email will be sent to the admin with a link and a password. Follow the instructions in the email to retrieve the audit report.

Audit by Individual

Adobe E-Signature documents can be audited per talent. In the Recruiter Module > Talent > Profile > Documents area, E-signature documents can be selected for audit individually.

Adobe Reporting

Recruiter Module users can view the history and status of Adobe E-Signature Documents in Talent > Profile > Documents. Next to each document is an expand/collapse icon used to display a history of the document.

Mapping Adobe Sign Document Fields to the Avionté Application

When a form is pulled into an Adobe Sign account, its fields do not yet match the data expectations of the Avionté application.

The spreadsheet below is used to align or "map" the form's fields to the Avionté application's data labels. The values are in an American format (e.g. date = mm/dd/yy)
