Using eSignature and Acroform fields

eSignature feature overview

Features/elements available within the ESignatureAndFieldSupport element:

• eSignatureCoordinatesOnly: if set to "true," eSignature fields are suppressed on the form and X/Y coordinates are returned. .
• eSignatureDateSupport: allows users to enable or disable the date field in an eSignature. Setting the element to "true" enables the date field; setting the element to "false" disables the date field.
• eSignatureTooltip: allows users to pass a string as a help popup.
• eSignatureInitialsTooltip: allows users to pass a string as a help popup.
• NonSignatureFieldCoordinatesOnly: if set to "true," other Non-Signatures fillable fields (textboxes and checkboxes) are suppressed on the form and X/Y coordinates are returned.
• eSignatureWKES: by default, this flag is optional.
  • If set to "true:"
    • Initials will be rendered as a fillable field;
    • WKES (previously SDX) naming conventions apply, and the <FieldName/> element applies eSignatures for "Initials," "Signature," "Date," and "Checkbox;"
    • The <SignerEmail/> element and the email address added to the <FieldName/> are included in the response;
  • If set to "false:"
    • Initials are rendered as esignable, and current naming convention is used: <r:FieldName>INI_Borrower_null_homer_false_1_SigField_1</r:FieldName>; by

Using SignaturePointSet and eSignatureAndFieldSupport

Previously, SignaturePointSet was the only element which controlled passing XY coordinates and suppressing signature fields on the form. We have enhanced the SignaturePointSet element and created a new element, eSignatureAndFieldSupport. The new element eSignatureAndFieldSupport has two flags to control eSignatures and Non-Signature Fillable fields independently.

Below is an explanation of the elements and their flags:

• eSignatureAndFieldSupport: this will override the BSI.Properties settings if it is passed in.
  • eSignatureCoordinatesOnly: child of eSignatureAndFieldSupport
    • If true: XY Coordinates are returned for eSignature fields (eSignature and eSignature date); eSignature fields are not rendered on the form.
    • False (Null): XY Coordinates are returned for eSignatures (eSignature only) and eSginature fields; fields are rendered on the form
  • eSignatureDateSupport child of eSignatureAndFieldSupport.
    • If true: XY Coordinates are returned for eSignature Date fields and are rendered on the form.
    • False (Null): XY Coordinates are not returned; fields are not rendered on the form
  • NonSignatureFieldCoordinatesOnly, child of eSignatureAndFieldSupport
    • If true: XY Coordinates are returned for non-signature fillable fields; the fields are not rendered on the form.
    • False (Null): XY Coordinates are returned; fields are rendered on the form.
