How to pass a value of a signature field on multiple pages on one form?

asked on March 8, 2018

I do not want the current user to have to be prompted to sign each page, however the request is to have the signature displayed at the bottom of each page on the same form. Is there a way to pass the value of the signature page from page 1 to the signature page on page 2 and so on?

If there is no option around the edit page (since I noticed that the variable is grey-out) how can this be coded in java?

 

Regards,

Just make the signature field of page 2 read-only. That will preserve the value of page 1.

I must not be doing this correctly since the signature field on page 2 is blank. It is a read only field but there is no signature.

 

This is what I did.

Option #1, I duplicated the signature field from page 1, place it at the bottom of page 2, changed it to "Display-only", made sure to "Use the default signature for the current user". Result - signature field blank

Option #2, I duplicated the signature field from page 1, place it at the bottom of page 2, changed it to "Display-only", made sure to select "Prompt to draw or type signature. Result - signature field blank

Option #3, Created a new signature field, changed to "Display-only", made sure to "Use the default signature for the current user". Result - signature field blank

Any other option or setting I am missing??

In page 1 you dropped a signature field. Let's say that the signature field has a variable of "SigPass"

In page 2 you have to drag and drop the same signature, this time from the "variables" tab. That will ensure that it's the same signature. That's the one you make readonly.

I tried that first but the variable is greyed-out so it cannot be dragged and dropped.

If it's grayed then it means you already have it. All you need to do is make it readonly for the signature to appear.

Your issue could be because maybe you are using just one form in different User Tasks.

Lydia,

To confirm what you are trying to accomplish is when a user signs a Laserfiche Form their signature is automatically repeated across multiple areas for the form in multiple sections. So the use case would be if a user needs to sign the bottom of page, lets say using pagination, you would like their signature to appear at the bottom of each page automatically?

If this is the case this is not an out of box functionality. I have attempted to do what was suggested by Raul but I was unable to reuse variables that were already used in the form. Are there any other suggestions for this?

Oh! Now I get it. Interesting!

You could do something like this where you get the value of the src attribute and pass it over to the next page as HTML. 

For the signature to appear at the bottom of pages, just add Custom HTML field at the bottom of each page and add the tag <span class="SigShow"></span> under HTML tab

$( document ).ready(function() {
 
  $(document).on('click', '.Signature input, .cf-next-btn, .active', repSig);
  
  function repSig() {
    
    setTimeout(function(){
      
       var SigShow = $('.Signature input').val();

$('.SigShow').html("<strong>Signature:</strong><img src='" + SigShow + "' / >");
      
}, 1000);
    

}

  
});

Hi Raul,

Thank you for the information!

Do you have any idea why I can see the signature on multiple pages while completing the form but it disappears after the form has been completed (after submit).

We would like to see all the signatures on the completed form either through printing or download.

 

Regards,
