Clickwraps

A clickwrap, or clickthrough agreement, is a prompt that offers individuals the opportunity to accept or decline a digitally-mediated policy. For example, a clickwrap can be used to require visitors to accept a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), Terms of Service (ToS), or other policy. Visitors to your site must click to agree with your policy prior to accessing your site. Clickwraps can be associated with Share Links, Inboxes, and the user registration process. You can configure multiple clickwraps for use in different areas of your Site.

Site administrators can create new Clickwraps. Navigate to the Sharing Settings page by typing "Clickwraps" in the search box at the top of the screen and choosing the matching result. Scroll down, then click Add new Clickwrap. Provide the required settings for Name and Body, indicate when the Clickwrap is available, and click Save.

The Name setting is for your reference, and will appear only in a list of Clickwraps; the Name is never displayed when a person is prompted to agree to the Clickwrap. The Body is for the full text of your policy, and all of the text you enter in the Body will be displayed to people during the prompt. You may use Markdown for text formatting, but HTML tags are not allowed.

The Require new users to acknowledge this document setting is used to support a workflow where users set their own passwords, either because of a user account request, or because a site administrator configured a new user account with the Email signup authentication type.

There are 3 options for whether a Clickwrap can be used with Inboxes. The first option, Do not allow this document to be required for inboxes, means that this particular Clickwrap should never be displayed when a web visitor is attempting to access an Inbox. Allow inboxes to require acknowledgement of this document is appropriate when some Inboxes should display this particular Clickwrap, but not all of them should; the Clickwrap will not be automatically associated with an Inbox, but can be added in the Inbox's settings. Require recipients of all inboxes to acknowledge this document will automatically prompt web visitors to every Inbox to agree to the text of this Clickwrap.

There are 3 options for whether a Clickwrap can be used with Share Links. The first option, Do not allow this document to be required for share links, means that this particular Clickwrap should never be displayed when a web visitor is attempting to access a Share Link. Allow share links to require acknowledgement of this document is appropriate when some Share Links should display this particular Clickwrap, but not all of them should; the Clickwrap will not be automatically associated with a Share Link, but can be added in the Share Link's settings. Require recipients of all share links to acknowledge this document will automatically prompt web visitors to every Share Link to agree to the text of this Clickwrap.

The specific Clickwrap text that a visitor agreed to when accessing a Share Link or Inbox can be viewed by accessing the registration lists.

To view Share Link registrations, type "Share Link Registrations" in the search at the top of the screen and click on the matching result. Similarly, you can access Inbox registrations by typing "Inbox Registrations" in the search bar and selecting the matching result. When viewing either list of registrations, you can click the eye icon in the Clickwrap column to view the verbiage or wording of the policy that was agreed to.
