Set the signature appearance

Here you set how your members’ signatures look in the document: with or without the reference to actaSIGN, and which appearance a newly placed signature field gets.

Signature Appearance card with the switch for the creator reference and the choice of signature appearance
  1. Hide actaSIGN creator reference: switch on to leave out the line “Created with actaSIGN® by axelity ltd” in your members’ signatures.
  2. Signature appearance for new signature fields: choose the appearance.
  3. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

The appearances

Section titled “The appearances”

You can choose the same appearances as in the personal profile:

  • No default (signer’s profile) (default): what the signer chose in their profile applies.
  • Empty (transparent)
  • Signature only
  • Signature and name
  • Place, date and signature
  • Complete without signature
  • Complete

The default applies to every newly placed signature field: in the composer, in templates and for requests through the API. A process or form template can set its own appearance, and single fields can be changed afterwards.

Good to know

Section titled “Good to know”
  • Appearances with a signature require a handwritten signature. If the signer has none in their profile, they are asked for one while signing.
  • The creator reference only applies to your members’ signatures. External signers are not affected.
  • Without the creator reference, the trust level label is centred next to the badge.
