Adding a Signature Field

Compose

Use the signature field tool in Chorus to capture and save your user's signature within your app. This tool makes it easy for you to collect signatures for electronic sign-off and manage consent/permissions. Signatures will be saved as image files which you can access within the Data section of Chorus. For more information on setting up and working with data, visit our help section here.

INPUT ELEMENTS TIPS

• Remember to set up a variable to capture your information. You can do so using the variable page, which can be accessed on the Compose page. More about this here. 
• Be sure to add a button to your page and connect this button with a corresponding response set (if...then). More about buttons here. 
• Make sure you include a response set condition to "Save Data" and then connect your input element to a corresponding variable. More about response sets here.

Adding a signature field to your mobile app for collection

To add a signature field for collecting user signatures in your app, select "add new element" from the Compose page.

Select "Signature" from the add new elements menu.

Once you've selected Signature you can edit the below menu items below for your Signature: 

• Name: Name your signature item, note only you will see this name when editing your app.
• Caption: Give your signature a caption, this is what users will see when they use your app.
• Required: Select "Required" if you'd like your users to enter a signature before they can continue (for instance if they need to sign before viewing information).  

Select the "Save signature" button to insert on your page.
