The Signature element lets you place signer signatures directly into your document content, not just on the contract certificate. This feature helps create a secure, transparent signing experience by allowing signers to see all prior signatures within the document before they sign.
How to Add the Signature Element
Add the Signature Element:
Click on the blue [ + ] symbol within the Editor block.
Scroll to the Signature element in the list and click to add it.
Customize the Signature Field:
Once added, you can adjust the field’s size and position as needed.
Understanding Signature Order
When you add the Signature element, placeholders for each signer are automatically created based on their roles. The order of signatures follows these rules:
Sender’s Signature: Always placed last.
Recipient Signatures: Arranged in the order they were added, with the first signer appearing first.
Custom Signing Order: If enabled, the signatures will follow a specific order you set.
Displaying Additional Information (Peripheral Information)
Each signature placeholder includes details about the signer (like name, company, and signing date) to provide context. To control what information is displayed:
Click on the Display Options in the element’s menu.
Choose which signer details to display, such as:
Full Name
Email
Company Name
Business Registration Number
Sign Date (formatted based on your regional settings).
This setup makes it easy for recipients to view relevant information related to each signature.
Using Multiple Signature Elements for Contextual Signing
To require signatures in multiple sections, add a Signature element to each part of the document where needed.
Signing Recipients: Recipients must add their signature to each assigned element. After signing once, they can click to apply their signature to additional elements.
Sender’s Signature: Automatically populates in all assigned elements when the document is sent.
This ensures each required section is signed for a more organized and complete document.
Displaying or Hiding Signers
To manage visibility for specific signers:
Select the Signature element and choose the Signer Visibility option.
Hide Signer: You can choose to hide individual signatures from the document content while keeping them visible on the contract certificate.
This feature lets you control which signatures are displayed in the document, creating a tailored view for your recipients.
