Boxie Sign Workspace Setup

What Is A Tenant?
A tenant is a branded Boxie Sign workspace for one subscriber or client.
White label applies only to the signing product surface:
/signing- signing requests
- signer pages
- the subscriber team’s signing documents, templates, and workspace area
It does not turn the full Boxie file-sharing app into a branded tenant site.
Roles
There are two admin layers:
- Platform admin
- creates the tenant
- configures branding and the owner sign account
- Tenant owner / workspace team
- uses the branded signing workspace
- adds their team
- manages documents, templates, and signing activity
Sign-side workspace roles:
owner- full control of the tenant workspace
supervisor- manage shared assets and workspace activity
manager- manage members and workspace-level operations
sender- create and send requests
reviewer- review flows as assigned
viewer- read-only access
template_admin- manage reusable documents/templates
Recommended Setup Flow
- Platform admin creates the tenant in
/admin/sign-tenants. - Set:
- domain
- company name
- accent color
- optional logo URL
- optional support email
- owner sign account email
- The tenant owner signs up or logs in on the sign side.
- The owner opens
/signing/workspace. - The owner adds managers and team members from
/signing/workspace/access. - The team creates private signing documents and reusable templates.
- Documents/templates can then be shared to the workspace when needed.
Shared vs Private Assets
Signing documents and templates can be:
private- visible only to the owner
workspace shared- visible to the tenant team inside that workspace
Recommended default:
- keep reusable source documents private until they are ready
- share only the versions the team should actually use
Localhost White-Label Preview
For local development, you can preview tenant branding without DNS:
- create a tenant such as
example.com - open
/signing?preview_tenant=example.com - clear preview with
/signing?preview_tenant=off
This preview is for localhost testing only.
Branding Assets
Current recommended brand assets:
- logo: transparent
SVGorPNG - recommended size:
320×96 - minimum size:
160×48 - keep under
500 KB - accent color: single hex color such as
#1d4ed8 - tagline: short, ideally
45characters or fewer
If a subscriber does not have a full brand kit yet, use one of the built-in presets and replace assets later.
What Subscribers Should Expect
Subscribers should land on a branded signing experience, not a branded version of the free Boxie product.
The intended experience is:
- team logs into the sign side
- uploads or reuses signing documents
- creates requests
- shares templates within their workspace
- supervises request activity from the workspace dashboard
Secure Data Rooms
For highly sensitive operations, the workspace includes Secure Data Rooms.
A Data Room allows your team to securely request supporting documents (like ID scans, financial forms, or tax records) using End-to-End Encryption (E2EE).
- Boxie generates encryption keys entirely within the client’s web browser.
- Boxie’s servers never receive or store the decryption keys.
- You can securely remind clients to upload documents; the reminder system uses local
mailto:links to perfectly preserve the encryption keys without exposing them to the server.
Smart Web Forms
When you place Text, Date, or Checkbox fields onto a PDF template, Boxie Sign can automatically generate a Smart Web Form for the signer.
- Signers can fill out a mobile-friendly HTML questionnaire instead of navigating a complex PDF.
- The system automatically maps their answers and stamps them directly onto the final PDF before they draw their signature.
Future Onboarding Improvements
Planned improvements:
- richer workspace onboarding checklist
- videos for tenant owner setup and team onboarding
