A Code of conduct document prepared as an acknowledgement request A Code of conduct document prepared as an acknowledgement request Start from Acknowledgements when you want to build a request from several documents. Start from a document’s menu when that document is the reason for the request. Acknowledgements must be enabled for your workspace and your role needs access (Acknowledgements overview).

​
Create the request

1

Open the form

Go to Acknowledgements and select New request, or open a document’s menu and select Request acknowledgement. The document route starts with that document selected.
2

Choose the documents

Add up to 20 documents. A short request name is optional and helps identify a pack in the overview.
3

Choose who must confirm

Add people, roles, departments, positions or locations, or choose everyone in the workspace. Audiences and deadlines explains how changing groups affect the request.
4

Set timing

Choose one due date for everybody already in the audience. You can also give future joiners a number of days after joining and repeat the request every 90, 180 or 365 days.
5

Choose the attestation

Use Typed name for the standard read-and-confirm flow. E-signature is disabled until contracts are enabled for your workspace, and each signature uses one of your plan’s monthly e-signatures (Buying e-signature credits). If you cannot select it, use Typed name or ask an administrator to check whether contracts are enabled.
6

Send it

Check the summary, then select Send request. Each selected document becomes a separate item for every person, while the overview keeps the pack together.

Open it to check that each document and its pending audience appear as expected.

​
Before you send

You need Full access to every selected document. If you launch from a document you cannot manage, the menu item stays disabled. On the Acknowledgements page, New request appears only when your role can create acknowledgement requests; the picker then offers only documents you can manage. An acknowledgement records read and understood. Even when you choose E-signature, it does not create a contract or send one for signature.
Check the documents, audience and timing before you send. Begin does not let you edit or cancel an acknowledgement request after it is sent.
