Documentation

Definition

Specifies if the signature process is synchronous or asynchronous.

Use

Depending on the signature type, the execution of signature strategies can be synchronous or asynchronous.

• Synchronous Signature Process

  Once a synchronous signature process has started, it must be continued until the end without interruption. A new function or transaction cannot be called until the last required signature has been completed. If the signature process is interrupted before the end, then all previous completed signatures are saved, but are not valid for the signature process and must be repeated.

• Asynchronous Signature Process

  For an asynchronous signature process, the signatories perform their signatures independently from one another. The signature process can be interrupted after every signature, and continued by the next signatory at any point in time. You need to enter a password to interrupt the asynchronous signature process.
