How to add an electronic Signature form field:

  2. Access the Template Fields panel on the left-side of your screen and locate the Signature field

  3. Drag and drop the Signature field to your desired location on your form Template.

I cannot stress enough the importance of the multi-touch signature capability, I had searched high and low for this and you were the only vendor!

Bonus: Add Logic to your online form Signature:

Properties panel
  1. Once a Signature field has been placed on your Template, select the Signature field.

  2. Now, on the right-hand side of your screen access the Properties panel.

Within the Properties panel, locate the Required property. Select ‘Yes’ (if you wish to enforce rules on your Template). This will ensure that with a form submission, the user has included their digital signature. If a user attempts to submit a form without their Signature, then a pop-up window will appear stating that they must complete the form field prior to submitting.

Remember to always save and publish your Template before creating a form– we recommend that you test your Signature field before making your form live to users.
