New NotaryStamp options added
Summary: The Expere schema has been updated with new FieldTypeEnum value of NotaryStamp. This new enum value is being added in anticipation of Expere content updates to support eNotary. Adding this value will allow integrators to use the Expere response to determine what field(s) on the document are intended for notary use. Electronic signing partners will then be able to appropriately assign signer roles based on the FillableFieldType. Additionally, we have added a new SignatureUniqueIdentifier element that is used to asssociate the FillableField to the applicable SignatureField.
Implementation Notes: This feature is available in the 2020 Release Two of the Expere Engine.
EnableEsignatureManifest method behavior enhanced
  • Type: Enhancement
  • Reference: PBI 617316
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Summary: Previously in PBI 607893, content had been updated to indicate eSign in the .REQ file replacing the ESignature manifest file previously stored with the content. As a result, the ESignature manifest file and its bsi.properties setting was no longer needed. Expere bsi.properties was updated to default the com.bankerssystems.expere.render.EnableEsignatureManifest setting to “false.” We recommended that you update your content to use the new ESignature indicator within the .REQ file if your content used the old ESignature manifest file.

A new ESignature setting has been implemented in the .REQ file. and the com.bankerssystems.expere.render.EnableEsignatureManifest=false property has been removed from the bsi.properties file.

Implementation Notes: This enhancement is available in the 2020 Release Two (2) of the Expere Engine.
Fillable fields in FooterNotice not applied to subsequent middle pages
  • Type: Defect
  • Reference: PBI 613852
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Issue: It was reported that Initials fields did not appear as fillable fields in pages between the first and last pages of a PDF document. When authored as fillable fields with a MiddlePages attribute in a FooterNotice element, the fillable fields appeared only on the second page of the document; all subsequent pages with the exception of the last page do not display fillable fields in the FooterNotice.
Solution: Fillable fields in FooterNotice are applied to additional middle pages, specifically the Initials fields.


Implementation Notes: This defect correction is available in the 2020 Release Two (2) of the Expere Engine.
