Signature & initials fields

Capture a signature drawn with a finger on the phone, printed on the report.

Last updated 4 Oct 2026

Overview

Signature gives the phone a pad to sign on with a finger. The signature prints on the report as drawn. Use it for the technician’s sign-off, the customer’s acceptance, or initials against a check.

A Signature field selected, its settings in the right panel
Step by step: add a signature
  1. Select the section it belongs in - often a last section headed “Sign-off”.
  2. Click Signature under + Add Fields.
  3. Type who should sign in Heading - “Customer signature” or “Technician signature”.
  4. Tick Is Mandatory field if the form must not save unsigned.

Its settings

A Signature has no settings of its own beyond the settings most fields share.

On the phone and the report

The phone shows a signing pad with a Clear signature button to start again. The report prints the signature as an image under its heading.

Initials

There is no separate initials field. Use a Signature with a heading such as “Initials” - in a Table Section it sits beside its question like any other answer.

Several signatures

Add one Signature field per person. Put the name alongside each with a Text field, or a Username field for the person filling the form in.
