Once you start sending contracts for signature, it helps to have one place that answers the question “what’s still waiting on a signer?” The Documents Pending Signature widget on your CornerSpot dashboard home does exactly that — it surfaces every envelope that’s been sent but isn’t finished yet, so contracts don’t quietly stall. This guide shows you how to add it and what it tells you.
How to track pending signatures from your dashboard
The widget isn’t on a fresh dashboard by default — you add it once from the widget library, and it stays.
1. Open your dashboard home
Go to your Dashboard. In the top-right corner you’ll find an Add widget button (alongside Customize). These customization controls are available to admins and managers.
2. Click “Add widget”
Select Add widget to open the widget library, which slides in from the right. It groups every available widget by category — billing, CRM, support, and more.
3. Search for the e-signature widget
Type signature in the Search widgets box (or filter by the E-Sign category) to narrow the list to the Documents Pending Signature widget.
4. Add the “Documents Pending Signature” widget
Click the widget to add it to your dashboard. The row shows a check to confirm it’s been added — you can click it again later if you ever want to remove it.
5. Close the panel and click “Done”
Close the library, then click Done in the top-right to save your layout. Your dashboard now keeps the widget in place every time you return.
6. Read your pending documents at a glance
The widget now lives on your dashboard. Each row represents one envelope that’s out for signature, showing:
- the subject of the document,
- the recipient it’s waiting on (name and email),
- and when it was sent.
Click any row to open that envelope, where you can check its status and audit trail, send a reminder, or resend a signing link. When nothing is awaiting signature, the widget shows a friendly “No documents pending signature” message instead — your sign here is clear.
Why use the widget
Treat the widget as a quick daily check. Glancing at it each morning tells you instantly which contracts are still open and who they’re waiting on, so you can nudge the right person before a deal slips. It pairs naturally with the E-Signatures list at /dashboard/esign/envelopes, where you can search, filter, and dig into the full history of every envelope.
Tips
- You can resize the widget in Customize mode — choose a larger size to see more pending documents at once.
- An envelope leaves the widget automatically once it’s completed, declined, voided, or expired — only documents still out for signature appear.
- If a row is sitting too long, open it and send a reminder or resend the signing link to the recipient who hasn’t finished.
