Signature Block Data for HTML Documents
When placing a signature or an initial into a document signature block, you also have the option of placing additional signature block data along with it. There are different options based on what type of document you are using, however. Please see the options for Additional Signature Block Data for PDF documents. For HTML documents, these data can consist of one or more of the following:
- Printed Name (required for all signatures)
- Email Address
- Title
- Organization
- Date/Time
task = new TaskInsertModel()
{
SignatureBlock = new SignatureBlockModel()
{
Signature = new SignatureModel()
{
IsBold = true,
IsItalic = true
},
AdditionalHtmlDataPlacements = new SignatureBlockHtmlDataPlacementModel()
{
DisplayEmailAddress = true,
DisplayOrganization = true,
DisplayTitle = true
}
}
}
The code snippet above should give you an output of something similar to what you see in the image below.
Signature Prompts for HTML Documents
The HtmlOpenPromptAnchor property is an option string that specifies where to anchor the HTML page for a particular signature. Normally, when AlphaTrust® e-Sign displays the page with a signature prompt block (i.e. Click here to sign), it scrolls the page (using an HTML anchor) to the location of the signature prompt block. If your application requires that the top of the displayed page be anchored at a different location (i.e. you want the user to read some text before seeing the prompt block) you can specify the location of the anchor for this signature using this text field. This value is the name of an <a> tag.
Authentication Overview
The first question to answer regarding user authentication is whether any authentication is required by your particular work process. In the paper world, ink-signed documents are not normally authenticated unless they are notarized. We have become accustomed to accepting scribble on a paper document as acceptable in most cases. There are exceptions such as when you are familiar with a signer's signature, or you have a specimen signature that requires comparison (i.e. a bank account signature card).
