Renaming "envelope" and "signer" for your people

Swap SignSpry's terms for the ones your team uses, per language, in Admin → Signing defaults. Up to 20 swaps.

If your people say "packet" where SignSpry says "envelope", you can make SignSpry say it too. Your organisation's words swaps SignSpry's own terms for yours, on the pages your team and your signers see.

Add a swap

You need to be an admin.

Go to Admin → Signing defaults and scroll to the Your organisation's words card.
In Our word, type the SignSpry term you want to replace, such as envelope.
In Your word, type what your people say instead, such as packet.
Choose In which language. Every language applies the swap everywhere; picking one language limits it to that language.
Press Add another for more rows, then Save words.

You can keep up to 20 swaps. Each word or phrase can be up to 40 characters. To remove a row, empty both of its boxes and save.

What the swap does

Rule	Example
Whole words only	`sign` does not change `signature`
Capitals follow the original	Envelope becomes Packet, ENVELOPE becomes PACKET
English plurals follow	envelopes becomes packets, and if your word is `box`, the plural reads boxes
A language-specific row also covers its regional variants	A row for Portuguese covers Portuguese in Brazil too

Plurals are handled automatically in English only, and only when your original word does not already end in "s". In other languages, add a separate row for each form you want changed.

Rows that are blank, that replace a word with itself, or that contain no letters are ignored.

What it does not change

Anything you or your signers type. Document titles, recipient names, messages, field labels and what signers enter are never touched.
Legal texts and the certificate of completion. They keep SignSpry's standard terms so the record reads the same everywhere.

The swap works on SignSpry's own text, so a sentence can read slightly oddly in languages where words change form. Send a test envelope to yourself and read it in each language your signers use before you rely on it.

Ideas that work well

envelope becomes packet, agreement or case file
signer becomes member or client
template becomes form

Short, everyday nouns work best. Swapping a verb such as sign is rarely worth it, because it appears in many sentences where your word may not fit.
