Hello Leslie,
We were actually able to setup the auto-anchors based on your previous responses. Just for reference, in-case others ask, I was able to make it work creating the following in docuSign.
The anchor in the document looks like this in the document:
\s1_1_suppliersign1\
The s1 is specific to signature 1 and there is a table that can be referenced in the docuSign documentation specific to these tags. It does mention SalesForce a lot which can throw people off, but using that documentation we were able to configure it properly.
The end result was that the signature for the supplier was automatically placed when transferring from the signature task in Ariba to DocuSign.
Thank you for your help!
Robert
