Signature

The Signature component lets someone sign a form using their mouse, trackpad, or finger (on touch devices) — useful for approvals, waivers, delivery confirmations, and any place you need a captured signature on record.

The problem: a checkbox or typed name is easy to dispute later — "I never agreed to that" is a hard conversation to win without something more concrete.

In practice: the person draws their actual signature on the pad, and the field confirms it was captured:

The value: the approval is now backed by an artifact — a drawn signature — that reads as a genuine signoff, not just a form checkbox someone clicked through.

Adding a Signature field

1. Open your form in Form Studio.

2. In the component panel, find Signature under Input.

3. Drag it onto the canvas, or click it to add it to the end of the page.

4. Click the field to open its settings.

Configuring the field

Content

• Label – the instruction shown above the signature pad (defaults to "Signature").

• Default Value – lets you pre-fill a captured signature from elsewhere (for example, a signature captured earlier in the same workflow), by binding it to existing data.

• Required – the form can't be submitted until a signature has been drawn.

• View only – shows a previously-captured signature without allowing changes. This is useful further down a workflow, once a signature has already been collected, and someone just needs to see proof it happened. Note: Required + View only together means the field checks that a signature already exists upstream, not that the viewer draws a new one.

Display & Style

• Helper text – small instructional text under the label (e.g. "Sign using your finger or pointer").

• Canvas height – choose from Compact, Small, Medium, Large, or Extra Large, depending on how much drawing room you want to give.

• Agreement text – optional legal/consent copy shown near the signature pad (e.g. "By signing above, I agree to the terms and conditions").

Conditional Disable / Visibility

• Like most Form Studio fields, you can disable or hide the Signature field based on conditions elsewhere in the form (for example, only show it once a checkbox for "I agree to sign" is checked).

What the person filling out the form sees

• A blank canvas they draw their signature onto.

• A way to clear and re-draw if they make a mistake.

• If Required is on, submission is blocked until something has been drawn.

Tips

• Use Agreement text rather than a separate text block if the signature is meant to confirm a specific statement — it keeps the acknowledgment visually tied to the signature itself.

• If the same signature needs to show up read-only later in the process (e.g. on a summary or approval screen), bind that later field's Default Value to the original signature and turn on View only rather than asking the person to sign twice.
