WKES AcroFields & Fillable Forms

AcroField Naming Convention

WKES looks for the following information in the AcroField name:

FieldType
The expected values for the FieldType would be as follows:
  • signature: a Digital Signature AcroField
  • signdate: a Text Field AcroField
  • initials: a Text Field AcroField
  • checkbox: a Check Box AcroField
  • name: a Text Field AcroField
  • numeric: a Text Field AcroField
  • alphanum: a Text Field AcroField
UserEmail The expected value for the UserEmail would be the signers email address.
FieldOrder The expected value for the FieldOrder would be an integer identifying the sequence number for each signer so that all other fields are completed first. This is to ensure it matches the logic is in the Expere Engine.

Mandatory/Optional/blank

By default, all AcroFields are mandatory for the signer to fill, however the following AcroFields can be marked as optional;

  • initials
  • checkbox
  • name
  • numeric
  • alphanum

If _O or _M is not present on this set of AcroFields, WKES will assume the AcroField is mandatory.

Note: The presence of signature or signdate in the Acrofield name always indicate that the Acrofield is mandatory.
WKES expects AcroField names in the following format (generated by the Expere engine based on authored content):
  • WKES_FieldType_UserEmail_FieldOrder
  • WKES_FieldType_UserEmail_FieldOrder_M/O
