IMS Case

This article explains how to prepare documents, send them for signature, and automatically archive them in IMS Case using the Addo Sign integration.

⚠️ You need an Addo Sign account with administrator access to set up the integration.

About the IMS Case integration

IMS Case by Visma is an electronic case and document management system, also known as an ESDH system. It is used to manage documents and cases in public and private organisations.

The Addo Sign integration is useful when documents need one or more signatures before they are archived in IMS Case. This includes contracts, approvals, board minutes, and other documents that are part of a structured case workflow.


Set up the IMS Case integration

  1. Go to Settings (⚙️).

  2. Select Integrations in the menu on the left.

  3. Under Add more integrations, find IMS Case and click the icon.

  4. Enter the required account information in the configuration window:

    • Integration name: Enter a custom name for the integration. This is optional and only used as an internal reference.

    • Tenant: Enter your tenant ID. The domain ending .imscase.dk is added automatically.

    • Username: Enter the username for your IMS Case account.

    • Password: Enter the password for your IMS Case account. You can show or hide the password while entering it.

  5. Click Validate to confirm that the credentials are correct.

Choose how to select a case

After you have validated the integration, choose how cases should be selected when documents are sent for signing.

You can choose between two options:

Option 1: Select a case when creating a signing

Use this option if the case should be selected each time a document is sent for signing.

This is the most common option, because most transactions only require one document flow.

When this option is enabled, Addo Sign will ask you to select a case each time you create a signing.

Option 2: Use a predefined case

Use this option if the same signing flow should always be connected to the same case.

Select the case you want to use from the list, then click Save.

To disconnect the integration, click Terminate integration:
