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!

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

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
