SigningHub allows you to add electronic seals in a workflow, Electronic Seal (eSeal), Advanced Electronic Seal (AdESeal), Qualified Electronic Seal (QESeal) are the levels of assurance available for an electronic seal. Adding electronic seals will consume signatures quota of your (document owner's) account. The option to add an electronic seal field will only appear if an electronic seal has been added to the template.
After you have:
Select the document from the right panel of document viewer screen, on which electronic seal is required.
Select the electronic seal from the right side of document viewer screen, for whom you want to add an electronic seal field.
Click the "Electronic Seal" option, and drop it on the document.
You can drag and drop the field anywhere in the document by using your mouse. The grid lines will assist you in better alignment of fields accordingly. Resize the field with respect to its height and width or use the bottom right corner to resize it diagonally as required. The system will remember the field size and its display preferences (i.e. visible or invisible) for adding new In-Person signature fields on the same documents package. By default, upon dropping the "In-Person Signature" field, the edit dialog is automatically displayed. However, if the user is only allowed one level of assurance, the dialog will not be automatically displayed.
