Native E-Signature

Overview

There are simple cases when an e-sign vendor's solution is too expensive or too complex for the customer's signing needs. For example, a signature among employees or simple acknowledgements and sales orders. Quik! developed a native e-signature solution within Quik! Forms for the times when a simple solution is called for. Quik!'s Native E-Sign feature is not intended to replace the power, sophistication and security that e-sign vendors provide (i.e. Native E-Sign is not a digital signature that is backed by certificates or private key infrastructure, it is only an electronic one). Quik! does NOT recommend Native E-Sign be used for financial transactions, healthcare transactions where HIPAA compliance is required, or other more scenarios that require higher level of security and compliance with privacy laws.

How To Enable

To enable Quik! Native E-Signature, you must first make sure that you have configured the Sign button to show in the Quik! Form Viewer. You must also call the SetESignType Method and designate Native E-Sign. This will configure the Sign button to launch Native E-Sign (rather than DocuSign or SIGNiX).

Sample code below:

JSON (REST)

"ESignType": 
{
    "Type":"nativeESign"
}

VB.NET

Dim objQFE As New QuikFormsEngine
Dim nativeESign As New ESignTypeNativeESign()

 'native esign configuration
 
objQFE.SetESignType(nativeESign)

Native E-Sign Popup

This is what the signing interface looks like when a user clicks the Sign button, or a signature field on the form:

How To Use

After Native E-Sign has been enabled, The 'Sign' button on the user's forms will now use this feature. When the user clicks the SIGN button at the top of the form, the viewer will automatically scroll to each page that needs a signature, in the order of the role signing order (established by the Quik! Field Definition). The user will then either choose to skip a signature, or draw their signature directly on the screen. Clicking DONE button will cause the next signature field to appear, and the process is repeated until all signature fields are either skipped or signed.

Important Information

Non-Editable PDF

When a form has been signed it is converted into a locked or un-editable PDF.

Signature Fields

Signature fields are displayed on the form with a yellow background and the words “CLICK TO SIGN” displayed in the field area.

Page Navigation Indicators

The page navigation on the right side of the screen will display a triangle icon in red, yellow or green at the upper-right corner of the page thumbnail to indicate a page that contains a signature.

A green triangle indicates that a signature has been done for this page.
The yellow triangle indicates that a signature is incomplete and still needs to be signed.
The red triangle indicates that user clicked the submit button before completing a signature. The yellow triangle should turn red after the submit event for empty signatures.
