Send a QCDS Request to Everyone at Once

Choose Everyone at once when every required signer should be able to act independently as soon as the Request is activated. QCDS freezes those participants into one parallel routing stage and queues invitations for all members of that stage.

Prepare the Parallel Request

  1. In Prepare & Send, assign every signer-controlled field to the correct concrete signer.
  2. Set Routing to Everyone at once.
  3. Review each signer’s fields and any Identity Verification requirement.
  4. Run Check and correct any Unassigned or field-validation issue.
  5. Use Send Now when the Request Details and signer setup are final.

What Everyone at Once Means

For the current streamlined Request, QCDS builds one routing stage containing all actionable participants. That stage uses an all-required completion rule. When the stage activates, QCDS marks each member available and queues that participant’s invitation.

No signer waits for another signer to finish before becoming eligible. Each person can work independently on the fields assigned to that participant.

Completion Still Waits for Required Participants

Parallel activation does not mean “first signer wins.” The Everyone at once stage is satisfied only after its required participants satisfy their frozen actions. One signer finishing early does not complete the Request while another required signer is still outstanding.

Use This Mode for Independent Work

Everyone at once is appropriate when signer actions do not depend on a review/signature sequence—for example, several people acknowledging or signing the same transaction in parallel. If a later signer must not act until an earlier signer completes, use Sign in order instead.

Verify After Send Now

  • Request Details shows Everyone at once as the routing mode.
  • The required signers are active without waiting for a predecessor.
  • Invitation delivery records are tracked per participant/address.
  • Each signer can access only that signer’s frozen fields and workflow.
  • The Request does not move to final completion until the required stage members are complete.
