Configure Signature Appearance

Home > Configure Enterprise Settings > Manage your users roles > Configure Signature Appearance

Signature appearance is all about configuring the allowed signature methods (i.e. Draw signature, Text-based signature, or Upload signature image) in a role. You can separately configure these settings for web browsers, mobile apps and initials, and choose a default signature method for each case.

This section also lets you select a signature appearance design, which specifies the user information (i.e. Hand signature with details & company logo, hand signature with details, or hand signature only) to be shown in a user signature. The set configurations from here will be shown as default settings to your enterprise users belonging to this role. However they can overrule these configurations through their personal signature settings or while signing a document.
