List of Supported E-Sign Tags

What Tags do you support?

We support Tags for the following Signable fields, signature, date, text , file upload and checkbox fields. When uploaded to Signable the tags are automatically replaced with the specified field as seen below and are assigned to the first party (signer1), unless you specify a second party (signer2).

{signature:signer1:Please+Sign+Here}   

{text:signer1:Your+Name} 

{date:signer1:Date+Here} 

{check:signer1:Please+Tick} 

{upload:signer1:Please+Upload+Files}

The Tags above, if placed on a document will automatically create a signature field with the name ‘Please Sign Here’, a text field with the name ‘Your Name’, a date field with the name ‘Date Here’ and a checkbox with the name ‘Please Tick’. All will be assigned to the first party (signer1).

Can I make the field optional via a Tag?

Sure! Just add a question mark (?) to the end of the WHAT. So for example if you want to have a text field that is optional, you can use:

{text?:signer1:Your+Name}

Can I use Tags for multiple parties?

Of course! Just use signer1, signer2, signer3 e.t.c in place of the ‘signer1’ in the examples above. You can assign tags to as many parties as you have in the document, just keep incrementing the number!

How do I adjust the height and width of the tag?

There are three ways of changing the width and height of a tag:

1. Increasing the font size of the Tag in your document
2. Adding +’s to the beginning and end of the Tag, e.g {++++text:signer1:Name++++}. This increases the width but not the height.
3. A more advanced way of explicitly setting the height and width in the Tag itself is by adding the height and width size.
   When using tags, the default size is 10×100. This way can be fiddly, however the below gives you an example of the how this can be done:
   If you had a Text Tag called ‘Name’ and you wanted to set the width to ‘100’, you can use the following Tag:{text,w100:signer1:Name}
   If you wanted to set the height to 10 you can use the following Tag: {text,h10:signer1:Name} You can, of course, combine them and override both the width and the height using the following Tag: {text,w100,h10:signer1:Name}. The unit of measurement is actually PDF units and so may take some playing around with to get the correct width and height.

Please note: When setting both the height and width of a tag as seen above, please make sure to use the width measurement then height, rather than height then width. eg {text,w100,h20:signer1:Name}
