Manage your signing types

Signing types help The NEST understand the different kinds of work you perform and apply the appropriate defaults when you create an order.

Go to **Settings → Signing Types** to review and customize the signing types available in your account.

### Use signing types that match your business

Not every notary performs the same services.

Review the available signing types and configure them around the work you actually accept rather than trying to fit every appointment into a generic category.

Your signing types become reusable options when creating orders, helping you enter work consistently and reducing repetitive setup.

### Set useful defaults

Where available, configure the defaults associated with a signing type so The NEST has a better starting point when that type of order is created.

Defaults are intended to save time, not lock you into a decision. Individual orders can still reflect the actual circumstances of that appointment.

### Keep your list useful

As your business changes, return to your signing types and update them.

The goal isn't to create a category for every unusual assignment you've ever received. Keep the list organized around the services you perform often enough to benefit from reusable defaults.

A well-maintained signing-type list makes order entry faster and keeps similar work categorized consistently throughout your records.
