- Expere Engine 2016.2.0

## API request and response examples added

- Reference: PBI 413008
- Compliance Impacts: This enhancement is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
- Documentation: Appendix: Request and Response Samples

We have enhanced the Document Generation Services (Document Services) API documentation to include detailed request and response examples for each operation. For more information, see Appendix: Request and Response Samples.

## Sequence fields functionality incorporated with MergePDF

- Type: Enhancement
- Reference: PBI 41080
- Compliance Impacts: This enhancement is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
- Documentation: SignaturePoint, FillableCheckbox, FillableText

We have introduced a new `<Sequencing/>` element to the following field types in the Expere response file:

- Signature (SignaturePoint element)
- Date
- Initials
- FillableText
- FillableCheckboxes

This `<Sequencing/>` element is implemented for the Secure Document Exchange (SDX) product for those users who sign across documents. It also makes each field unique so can merge PDF documents that use signature, date, initial, and fillable text fields.

If the "MergePDF=true" in the response file, the Signature, Date, Initials, FillableCheckboxes and FillableText field types elements will contain sequencing in the `<FieldName/>` element using an incremental numbering system with an underscore.

Sequencing logic and format example:

    <r:SignaturePointSet> <r:Signer> <r:Id>Homer</r:Id> <- Signer ID <r:Description>Borrower, Borrower</r:Description> <r:SignaturePoints> <r:Type>Initials</r:Type> <r:Sequencing>1</r:Sequencing> <r:FieldName>INI_Borrower_null_homer_false_1_SigField_1</r:FieldName> </r:SignaturePoint> <r:SignaturePoint> <r:IncludeDate>true</r:IncludeDate> <r:PageNumber>1</r:PageNumber> <r:SignatureText>Homer Simpson</r:SignatureText> <r:Type>Signature</r:Type> <r:Sequencing>2</r:Sequencing> <r:FieldName>SIG_Borrower_null_homer_false_1_SigField_2</r:FieldName> </r:SignaturePoint> <r:FillableFieldSet> <r:FillableText> <r:FieldName>FillableField_3</r:FieldName> <r:ToolTip>fill in here</r:ToolTip> <r:PageNumber>1</r:PageNumber> <r:Width>420.0</r:Width> <r:Height>72.0</r:Height> <r:XCoordinate>56.0</r:XCoordinate> <r:YCoordinate>100.0</r:YCoordinate> <r:Sequencing>3</r:Sequencing> </r:FillableText> <FillableCheckBox> <r:FieldName>FillableCheckBox_4</r:FieldName> <r:ToolTip>check here</r:ToolTip> <r:PageNumber>1</r:PageNumber> <r:Checked>false</r:Checked> <r:XCoordinate>22.0</r:XCoordinate> <r:YCoordinate>140.0</r:YCoordinate> <r:Sequencing>4</r:Sequencing> </FillableCheckBox> </r:FillableFieldSet>

## Secure Document Exchange users initials can now render with Acroform fields

- Reference: PBI 408277
- Compliance Impacts: This new feature is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
- Documentation: Using eSignature and Acroform fields

Wolters Kluwer Electronic Signature (WKES) users can now initial documents with a fillable text field (Acroform) using a new element called `</eSignatureWKES>`, as a child of the `</ESignatureAndFieldSupport>` element in the `</AncillaryOutputOption>`. If setting this element to "true," the initials render as a fillable text field on the document(s). By default, this element is set to "false" and renders as an eSignature field. In a future release, WKES users will be able to capture initials one time per signer and populate those initials to all the respective signer fields.

    <r:AncillaryOutputOption> <r:OutputType>ESignatureAndFieldSupport</r:OutputType> <r:ESignatureAndFieldSupport> <r:eSignatureTooltip/> <r:eSignatureInitialsTooltip/> <r:eSignatureCoordinatesOnly>false</r:eSignatureCoordinatesOnly> <r:eSignatureDateSupport>true</r:eSignatureDateSupport> <r:NonSignatureFieldCoordinatesOnly>true</r:NonSignatureFieldCoordinatesOnly> <r:eSignatureWKES>false</r:eSignatureWKES> </r:ESignatureAndFieldSupport> </r:AncillaryOutputOption>

## DocInstances now returned individually for merged PDF

- Reference: PBI 405890
- Compliance Impacts: This enhancement is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
- Documentation: No document impact.

Previously, Expere Document Services only returned one DocInstance when merging PDF documents. As a result, only one set of elements was returned, rather than multiple sets of elements determined by the number of DocInstances.

Expere Document Services now returns separate DocInstances when the merged PDF is set to "true" in the response file.
