Capture a typed signature

Use the signature pad to automatically capture or update a typed name as a reusable signature image.

Audience

This guide is designed for project manager.

Steps​

Step 1: Open the form with the signature pad​

Navigate to the form that includes the signature pad field so you can review or enter a typed signature.

Step 2: Review the prefilled typed name​

If a default typed name (such as your full name) is prefilled, the system will automatically convert it into a signature image without any extra action.

Review the prefilled typed name

Step 3: Confirm the stored signature​

Once the default typed name has been converted, the signature field holds a saved image version of your typed signature ready to be submitted with the form.

Step 4: Understand behaviour with no prefilled name​

If the field opens with no prefilled typed name, no signature image is generated until a name is provided, preventing accidental blank signatures.

Step 5: Preserve an existing signature​

When a signature image is already stored in the field, opening the form will not overwrite it, so previously signed documents remain unchanged.
