Add initials fields
Using initials is almost the same as signing the document, however digital signatures are not embedded in this case. SigningHub lets you configure initials for all document recipients (i.e. signers, reviewers, editors, and meeting hosts in a template. You can also add multiple initials fields against a recipient.
Add an initials field in the template
After you have:
- Added the document,
- Added all the recipients and placeholders,
- Configured workflow type, and
- Configured special privileges for each recipient/ placeholder as required in your template:
- Select the recipient from the right side of document viewer screen, for whom you want to add an initials field. Click
(encircled with the blue colour on image) if you want to manage the added recipients.
- Click the "Initials" 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 for new initials fields. Now take the cursor to the field, and click
to view and edit its details. See the "Initials Fields" table below for the fields description.
- Repeat the above steps to add multiple initials fields.
Delete an initials field from the template
Take the cursor to the initials field in the document to delete, and click appearing on it.
The field will be removed from the document.
