Add your initials

Filling in initials is almost the same as signing a document, however digital signatures are not embedded in this case. They can be added through freehand drawing, text filling or image upload (the same way a signature is added). When you receive a document with initials fields assigned to you, then you need to fill in all such fields before signing. This is to ensure that you have gone through all the important sections/ pages of the document, where initials fields were configured. Once you are done with your initials, you can sign the document.

Add your initials

1. You can click the "Go to field" button or you can directly scroll to the field.

2. Double-click on the field, or single-click and then click the "Sign" option.

3. A dialogue will appear. Select the initials type (i.e., Text, Hand Draw or Image) and specify your initials accordingly.

4. Click Done. The specified initials will be added and displayed on the respective area(s) of the document. The system won't let you sign the document unless you add your initials in all the assigned fields. Also, you cannot fill in the initials fields which have been assigned to someone else.

1. All the initials fields assigned to you are mandatory to add, so you cannot leave any initials field blank in the document.

2. Fill in the field's data accordingly and click the "Next" button to traverse to your next field for data entry. Keep doing so till you reach the last field assigned to you. SigningHub will display the total and traversed counts of your assigned fields accordingly.

3. Signature Pad can only be used to perform initials, only on Desktop Web.

4. If Signature Pad has been configured as the default initials method and the user tries to sign using native apps or mobile web, the user will not be able to perform initials and will be prompted to update the default initials method in the user's configurations.
