Scat Plus

Use a Scat Plus 2016 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What Scat Plus is and how it works

Scat Plus is a document that can be prepared, routed, completed, and electronically signed through signNow when its transaction permits electronic execution. Start by uploading the Scat Plus file, then review the detected fields and add or adjust text, date, initials, and signature fields. Assign each field to the correct signer, send the request, and monitor completion. signNow records signer actions, timestamps, and document history in an Audit Trail, allowing the completed Scat Plus document and supporting record to be retained together.

Field placement

Upload the Scat Plus file and place fields over its actual blanks, reducing manual formatting while keeping the document layout recognizable for every signer.

Signer routing

Route Scat Plus to each required recipient in sequence, so every person reviews the relevant information before the completed document is returned.

Reusable templates

Use reusable templates when the same Scat Plus version recurs, preserving field positions and reducing preparation work for repeated requests.

Mobile access

Send Scat Plus from desktop or mobile apps, allowing authorized users to prepare and monitor requests while working away from a desk.

Audit Trail

Capture timestamps, signer actions, and document history in an Audit Trail, supporting internal review of how Scat Plus was completed.

Record storage

Store the completed Scat Plus record with its signing history, making the final document and supporting evidence easier to retrieve later.

Recordkeeping practices for Scat Plus

Retain the completed Scat Plus document, signing evidence, and access history according to the underlying business or legal obligation.

Export the signed record and Audit Trail

Keep the final Scat Plus document together with its Audit Trail and certificate of completion. Export both after signing, use controlled storage, and limit access to personnel responsible for the underlying transaction or recordkeeping obligation.

Apply the applicable retention period

Choose retention based on the transaction, not the platform. For tax records, IRS guidance under IRC §6501(a) generally uses three years from filing, with six years when 25% or more income is understated.

Restrict access to completed records

Protect stored Scat Plus files with role-based permissions and a documented retrieval process. Review access periodically, especially when staff change roles or leave the organization handling completed records.

Preserve document integrity after signing

Preserve the original completed file without altering its contents after signing. If a correction is required, create a new Scat Plus transaction and retain the related history explaining the replacement.

Scat Plus completion challenges

Missing signer identity details can delay Scat Plus completion when the document requires reliable attribution and contact information.
Unclear field ownership may cause signers to complete the wrong sections or leave required Scat Plus information blank.
Email-only delivery can create follow-up delays when recipients overlook the Scat Plus request or use an inaccessible address.
Saving an unsigned draft instead of the completed record can weaken internal tracking and make later retrieval difficult.

Scat Plus legal standing in the U.S.

A completed Scat Plus record can support a U.S. business transaction when the signer demonstrates intent, consents to electronic records, can be attributed, and the record remains reproducible. ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96, and applicable UETA laws support electronic signatures, while wills and certain court orders remain excluded.

Platform requirements for Scat Plus

Scat Plus can be prepared and signed through signNow in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge on Windows and macOS, with mobile apps available for iOS and Android. Use a current browser or supported app with reliable internet access when uploading, routing, or completing the document.

Browsers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge
Desktop systems Windows and macOS desktop access
Mobile apps iOS and Android mobile apps

Organizations should manage access through approved Windows, macOS, iOS, or Android devices and apply internal controls for saved Scat Plus records. Teams using integrations, SSO, or API workflows should confirm the selected signNow plan and configure identity, storage, and retention controls before production use.

Scat Plus troubleshooting questions

Use these checks to resolve field, signer, consent, plan, and compliance issues while completing Scat Plus in signNow.

Upload the Scat Plus file again and check its page count, orientation, and readability. signNow can prepare uploaded documents, but fields may require manual placement when the source file has no interactive fields or uses an unusual layout.

Open the pending Scat Plus request and verify the recipient email address, spam folder, and signing link. Resend the invitation from signNow after confirming that the signer can access the assigned document.

Check that every required Scat Plus field is assigned to the correct recipient. signNow prevents completion while required fields remain empty, so review conditional or misplaced fields before sending the request again.

For consumer-facing Scat Plus transactions, provide the required ESIGN disclosure and ensure the signer can access electronic records. Consent must be demonstrated separately from merely receiving an email or opening a link.

The Business plan includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, and Audit Trails at $8/user/month when billed annually. Business Premium adds bulk send and kiosk mode at $15/user/month annually.

If Scat Plus contains protected health information, confirm that the organization has the required HIPAA Business Associate Agreement. signNow lists HIPAA compliance as requiring a BAA, so platform settings alone do not replace that agreement.
