SigningHub allows you to add electronic seals in a workflow, Electronic Seal (eSeal), Advanced Electronic Seal (AdESeal), and Qualified Electronic Seal (QESeal) are the levels of assurance available for an electronic seal. Adding electronic seals will consume the 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 workflow. Adding an electronic seal is subject to your assigned enterprise user role and service plan configuration. If you wish to use this provision, ask your Enterprise Admin to enable the respective field in your Role>Document Settings.
Select the document from the information panel's 'Pages' tab, on which an electronic seal is required.
Select the electronic seal from the information panel's 'Recipeints' tab, for whom you want to add an electronic seal field.
Click the "Electronic Seal" field, 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 document 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 dialogue box will not be automatically displayed.
Click "Save".
To add multiple electronic seal fields, repeat the above steps. However, in a single document, only one electronic seal field is allowed per electronic seal. A second electronic seal will have to be added to add a second electronic seal field.
Click on the electronic seal field.
Select the "Remove" option.
After sharing the document, when it is the turn of the electronic seal for signing, the electronic seal is automatically signed using the configured settings, without any user interaction.
You can only edit the on-screen dimensions but not the PDF dimensions.
| Fields | Description |
|---|---|
Recipient
A read-only field to display the name of the added electronic seal and no email information will be displayed.
Level of Assurance
The "Level of Assurance" field will be auto-populated from the electronic seal profile and the field will be disabled.
Visible Signatures
For an electronic seal, this field will be available when you are allowed (in your user role) to add an invisible electronic seal on a document. When available:
Enable the "Visible" option, if you require a visible electronic seal. This electronic seal will have a proper appearance on the document as configured in the Signature Appearance settings.
Disable the "Visible" option, if you require an invisible electronic seal. An invisible electronic seal entails all the characteristics of an electronic seal and is duly verifiable like a visible electronic seal. However, it does not have any appearance on the document. When an electronic seal field is marked as invisible, an eye icon is placed in the electronic seal field (as shown with the red arrow):
Do not automatically show this dialog when a signature field is added
When this option is enabled, the properties dialog will not appear automatically, every time an electronic seal field is dropped. This option is helpful when you need to drop several electronic seal fields on the document.
Details Tab
Field Name
An auto-generated (unique) field name which is used when you need to sign this form field through the API calls. You can change the name as required, but make sure the uniqueness of a field name is not compromised i.e., two or more fields in a document cannot have the same field name. This field is only available when the status of a document is Draft.
Dimensions
Use this section to relatively set the on-screen and PDF coordinates/position (Left, Top, Width and Height) of the signature field. However, you can also manually move the field to the desired position in a document using drag and drop and these coordinates will be updated accordingly. These coordinates are only available when the status of a document is Draft.
