How to Add an Electronic Signature Form Field to Your Digital Form
Leverage Signature fields to improve compliance, expedite processing and approvals, and simplify Signature location
Whether you need to capture authorizations on work orders and timesheets or you’re a teacher collecting Signatures on permission slips, electronic Signature fields are important to our day-to-day. Fortunately, adding an electronic signature in the GoFormz online form builder is quick and easy. Follow these simple steps below and start using Signature fields in your mobile forms today!
How to add an electronic Signature form field:
Start off by logging into your GoFormz account from a computer and opening your desired form Template.
Access the Template Fields panel on the left-side of your screen and locate the Signature field.
Drag and drop the Signature field to your desired location on your form Template.
Resize your Signature field to your desired size.
ProTip: Make the Signature field larger in size to allow for larger signatures – creating a simpler, seamless process of collecting Signatures.
Bonus: Add Logic to your online form Signature:
Once a Signature field has been placed on your Template, select the Signature field.
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.
