      Note:

      • If you have chosen to use Document Tracking, the people that you send the documents to must have a Cezanne User Account. If they don't, the e-mail will not be sent and the document will not be generated.
      • If you have chosen not to use Document Tracking, when e-mails are sent to people, the system will look for a person's e-mail address in the following order:
        1. User E-mail
        2. Internal E-mail
        3. External E-mail
        4. Alternate E-mail
      • If no e-mail address is found for the person, the e-mail will not be sent. However, the related document will still be generated.

      2. Reading and Signing the Document

      If you have chosen to track the document, employees will be required to read and, if configured, electronically sign the document.
