Is it possible to change the button that shows on a Signature fields from "Sign" to "Initial"? Also, is it possible to force a user to draw the signature rather than using the option of Type or Draw?

Thanks,

To hide the option to type a signature, you can use the javascript suggested here.

Hi Brianna,

I'm still waiting on a response to the first part of the question: "Is it possible to change the button that shows on a Signature fields from "Sign" to "Initial"?"

Any ideas?

Hi Jen,

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about this feature to make a suggestion. I'll bring this post to the attention of some people who may.

Hey Jen,

Yes, you can customize your button text easily through javascript, it would be something like

 $('.Sign_Sig').val("you_button_text")

(and you can make the selector more specific if you want)

Thanks for your response Lifei,

Is there a way to change it only for specific signature buttons? We have some that we'd like to remain "Sign" and others that we'd like to change to "Initial" within the same form.

Thanks,

Hi,

If you want to apply it to specific fields, you can make a customized css class in field>Advanced tab for them and modify javascript to, e.g.:

$('.mySign').find(".Sign_Sig").val("your_button_text");

where mySign is your customized css class name

There are actually different ways to do that. Code above is just an example.

For more detailed instruction, please check this document.

Thank you.
