How to Create Digital Forms to Capture Electronic Signature Fields

Seamlessly collect electronic Signature fields using digital forms on phones, tablets, and computers

Collecting signatures and authorizations is often made difficult by the time-consuming, manual nature of paper forms and rigid PDFs. With these outdated resources, teams often need to hand-deliver forms to job sites, customer locations, franchise locations, and back-offices, to collect a simple signature. Once the form has been signed, teams are then faced with further transportation, delivery, and processing demands, wasting time and budget. 

Adding to these frustrations, signed forms are often completed incorrectly or incompletely forcing teams to start from scratch and regather signatures – wasting further time and budget. 

To avoid these common obstacles and frustrations, businesses are leveraging digital forms equipped with simple logic, to ensure forms are completed accurately, correctly, and comprehensively. These digital forms can be filled out on phones, tablets, and computers, and can easily capture electronic Signatures fields. Your electronic Signature fields can even be configured to guide signature capture, for example: 

  • Electronic Signature fields can be made Required or even dynamically Required, in response to a selected field or entered data (e.g. a selected Checkbox)

  • Your Signature fields can dynamically change color, effectively highlighting the field

  • Additional Signature fields can be made Visible based on entered data or field selections

  • Signature fields can instantly clear if further edits are made to a form

...and more!

Digital forms and simple logic not only improve form completion, data accuracy, and signature capture, but also provide clients, partners, and colleagues with a more professional, modern experience. 

Adding electronic Signature fields to your digital forms is as easy as drag-and-drop

Your digital forms can be easily equipped with electronic Signature fields in the GoFormz drag-and-drop form builder – no code or IT support required. Simply upload a PDF or JPG of your work form, drag-and-drop a Signature field onto your form, and click save. You can also add a variety of other field types, like Images, Sketches, GPS, Maps, Barcode Scanning, and more. This easy-to-use form builder empowers teams anywhere in their digital transformation journey to easily create and leverage digital forms, allowing your operation to arm citizen developers with an intuitive tool to improve data capture, documentation, communication, and more. 

Collect Signatures from anyone with the GoFormz mobile app and easy digital form sharing

Digital forms rapidly simplify and streamline Signature capture. Your digital forms can be easily generated and filled out in the GoFormz mobile app or online from a computer. Digital forms can even be dispatched pre-populated with information, so recipients can simply review and sign the form. Links to your digital forms can even be shared with people outside of your organization for them to review, fill out, and sign. Your forms can even be configured so that only the Signature field can be editable, eliminating opportunities for unwanted data entry or changes, while ensuring the Signature field is completed prior to form submission. Once submitted, a PDF copy of the signed form can even be instantly routed to the individual who completed the form, improving communication and simplifying record-keeping. 

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