Capture biometric data and save the data into the document

Configures whether the biometric data of the signature (x-, y-, z-coordinates, time, and pressure) should be saved in the document in encrypted form. This is stored for later proof that the signature was provided by the signatory.

Activated: The biometric data of the signature is stored in the document in encrypted form.

Deactivated: The biometric data is not stored in the document.

The biometric data is essential for ensuring the security and authenticity of electronic signatures and highly important for their subsequent validity as evidence. For GDPR-compliant capture and storage of this data, a confirmation text to be displayed before signing can be configured in the software, for example.

Default value: Activated

Automatic saving

Defines whether the document should be saved automatically and if so, when.

Deactivated: The document is not saved automatically.

At the start of the signing process: The document is automatically saved when a signature capture is started.

When a signature is confirmed: The document is automatically saved when a signature is confirmed.

After completion of all signatures: The document is automatically saved when all signatures have been executed.

When closing the document: The document is automatically saved when the document is closed or exited.

The data is saved immediately and without user interaction. The storage cannot be undone.

Default value: Deactivated

Start the signing process immediately

Defines whether the signature process should be started automatically when a document is opened.

Deactivated: The signature process is not started automatically.

Start with first signature: After the document is opened, the signature process for the first signature in the document is started immediately.

Start with the first mandatory signature: After the document is opened, the signature process for the first mandatory signature in the document is started immediately.

Lock form fields

Defines the extent to which any electronic form fields (excluding signature fields) are locked with the first signature in the document. Locked form fields can no longer be changed.

All: The signature locks all form fields in the document, regardless of the settings in the document.

Filled and defined in the document: The signature locks all form fields that are defined in the document or within the signature field. In addition, all completed form fields are locked.

As defined in the document: The signature locks all form fields that are defined in the document or within the signature field.

The definition in the document is made via special settings within the signature fields, the so-called "lock dictionary.” This cannot be edited via signoSign/2 and requires a professionally created PDF form.
