Allowing the signer to determine the location of the signature.

Overview

In Stiply, you can enable signers to choose exactly where they place their signature on the document. This removes the need for the sender to pre-place signature fields.

1. Feature summary

Instead of predefining signature locations, the signer can place and sign fields during the signing process. Use this feature by assigning the role "Place and sign fields" to the signer when setting up the request.

2. How it works

  1. Start a new sign request in Stiply as usual.
  2. When adding the signer, select the role "Place and sign fields".
  3. Do not add signature fields yourself—leave them blank.
  4. Send the request. The signer will receive the document and choose where to place the signature field before signing.

3. Benefits

  • Sender flexibility: No need to manually add or adjust signature fields.
  • Signer control: Signers decide the exact placement of their signature.
  • Simplified setup: Reduces setup time for varied or dynamic templates.

Important Notes

  • Ensure the signer’s role is correctly set to "Place and sign fields".
  • This feature bypasses manual signature placement by the sender.
  • It is ideal when document layout varies or signer preference matters.
