How to use WaiverSign Events

This feature in WaiverSign lets you group waivers by event and export an attendee list to a coordinator, even if they are not a WaiverSign user.


1. Create Your Event


Go to Create and Edit Events > New Event.

Event Name


Set a name for your event. This will be visible to everyone.


Warning: Do not change your event name after sending out the signing link. Renaming the event will break the URL and disconnect it from any waivers already signed.


Event Date


There are three options when creating an event:


  • No dates will be used for this event (recommended) - The event does not expire.
  • Create specific dates to associate with documents - The signer chooses from a list of dates you specify. Once the event dates have passed, the event cannot be signed for.
  • Allow user to specify the event date when signing - The signer enters the date they are signing for.


Coordinator


(Optional) Add a coordinator. This can be anyone inside or outside your business. The coordinator will receive an email notification every time a waiver for the event is signed. This is useful when working with large groups, such as schools or businesses, that have a designated person ensuring everyone has signed.




If you haven't already, publish your document before completing this step.


Go to Get Signing Link.

Select Documents


Select all documents you want to apply to this event.


Select Mode


  • Kiosk Mode - Designed for kiosks or check-in desks. The page refreshes automatically after a period of inactivity. Good for public locations where multiple signers use one device.
  • Standard Mode (recommended) - For signers using their own personal devices.


Event Settings


  • Allow user to select from any event when signing
  • Associate document(s) with a specific event (recommended) - You assign the event directly to this signing link.


Once you complete these settings, your URL will generate. Share this URL with your signing audience.


Tip: If you skip the Associate document(s) with a specific event step, participants who sign will not be linked to your event. If this happens, see Moving Signed Documents to Events below for how to fix it.


Warning: Due to URL length, characters may be cut off when shared via certain platforms. If signers do not use the full URL, their documents will not link to the event. Use a link shortener such as TinyURL or Bitly to avoid this and to track click-throughs.



3. View Signed Waivers


Once signatures come in, go to View By Event to see them.


Note: Your event will not appear under View By Event until at least one participant has signed using the event signing link. If you just created the event and don't see it yet, this is expected.


Can't find your event? If your event has specific dates assigned, expand the date range to include those dates.

From here you can view the signature list, which contains a simple roster of who signed and what they signed for.

To see responses to custom questions, click Export Event Contacts. This downloads a detailed CSV file to your computer.

4. Moving Signed Documents to Events


If a participant signed a waiver without it being linked to an event, you can assign it manually.


  1. Go to Signed Documents.
  2. Find the signed document you want to assign. Do not click into the document itself.
  3. On the right side of the document row, locate the Event Name column next to the date signed.
  4. Click the Edit option in the Event Name dropdown.
  5. Select the correct event and save.


You can also use this method to reassign a document from one event to another.
