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). ETI does NOT recommend Native E-Sign be used for financial transactions, health care where HIPAA compliance is required or other more scenarios that require higher level of security and compliance with laws.

How To Enable

To sign with Native E-Sign, the customer must first turn on the feature by setting the property EnableNativeESign to TRUE. This will cause the 'Sign' button on the user's forms to use this signing feature.

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 page 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 click the signature field and view the Native E-Sign Popup to sign. Once the user has signed, clicking the SAVE button will cause the next signature field to appear.
