How to Access and Use the Data Label Panel in DocuSign Template Setup (CRM)

Learn how to locate the Data Label panel in DocuSign template setup and implement best practices for field mapping to ensure smooth integration with Dazos.

Before You Begin

Ensure you have:

  • Access to DocuSign with template creation permissions

  • A DocuSign template created or in progress

  • Understanding of the fields you want to map to Dazos

Steps to Access the Data Label Panel

  1. Open your DocuSign template in edit mode

  2. Add or select a field on your document

  3. Look for the Data Label panel on the right-hand side of the screen

  4. If the panel is not visible, check the field type - ensure it's a standard form field (text, number, date, etc.)

  5. Verify the field purpose - confirm it's intended for DocuSign integration (not DocuSign-only fields)

  6. Save your template and reopen it if the Data Label panel still doesn't appear

Best Practices for Data Label Naming

When setting up your Data Labels, follow this recommended format:

Data Label = [Field Description] - [Field Type] [Unique Identifier]

Example: Account Number - Number 458522123asdasdasd25125

Why Use Descriptive Data Labels

  • Easier troubleshooting: If integration issues occur, you can quickly identify which DocuSign field is causing problems

  • Payload identification: When reviewing integration logs, descriptive labels help pinpoint specific field mapping issues

  • Team collaboration: Other team members can understand field purposes without additional context

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If the Data Label panel is not visible:

  • Check field type: Some field types may not support data labels

  • Verify field relevance: Ensure the field is meant for integration, not DocuSign-only purposes

  • Test with a simple template: Create a small test template with basic fields to confirm panel functionality

  • Save and reload: Sometimes the panel appears after saving and reopening the template

Expected Result

You should see the Data Label panel on the right side of your DocuSign template editor, allowing you to add descriptive labels for each field that will be mapped to Dazos.
