In the Pactima eSignatures API, eSignature Packages go through different statuses throughout their lifecycle. These statuses reflect the current state of the package and provide visibility into the progress of the signing workflow.

The initial status is DRAFT, and to start the signing workflow, the package is to be "triggered".
