Hi, thanks for building this awesome tool! I have a few questions that I’d really appreciate your help with: 1. Is it possible to make it so a site visiter can choose to draw or “type” their signature? (like Docusign or Adobe allows) I’ve been having a hard time drawing mine (using a macbook pro trackpad) and don’t want users to bounce because of this. 2. I’d like to automatically collect a date stamp when a user hits submits. Is it possible to set that up in the data set? (I’ve never used a data set before but I believe I’ve linked all the fields correctly!) 3. Lastly (and least important for now!), is there a way to show a table publicly on the site of all the names I collect (and maybe a counter)? I’m using this for a leadership pledge and would like people to be able to opt in and show that they’ve signed onto the pledge. THANKS for any help! D ---

Also, appreciate any hacks to address the features above! Love a “good enough” workaround if nothing available off the shelf. Thx 🙂 ---

Hello @DRay… The signature field is specifically for drawing, not typing. If you want the user to type in their name instead, then you will have to add a text input element on the page. You may consider creating a validation code to make sure they signed one or the other before saving / submitting the form. Anything saved into a database automatically gets timestamped. If you have never used database collections before, I recommend watching a few tutorials to familiarize yourself with the basics. #3 is also codable but not related to this post so I recommend you post a new question in the forum to get advice from the community on how to do that. ---

Thank you Code Queen! Super helpful. Regarding creating a validation code to make sure they’ve signed one or the other (draw or typed signature), any advice on how to set this up? Thanks again, D ---

does the signature feature require a specific plan or can it be done with a basic plan? ---

According to this article, you need an Ascend plan to use this feature: [https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-forms-adding-and-setting-up-an-e-signature-field](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-forms-adding-and-setting-up-an-e-signature-field) [Previous page](https://forum.wixstudio.com/t/new-feature-signature-input/28780.md?page=1)
