Signatures Module - Two suggestions
-
I wasn't able to attend the webcast on the new module--my apologies if these features were addressed in the discussion (I did review the help files and didn't see mention of them, however).
Two features that would be good to have for this:
a) The ability to "force" use of non-stylized signatures when using DocuSign, i.e., do not allow "typed" signatures and require that a signature either be input directly using stylus or from a scan. Some jurisdictions allow for DocuSign-like signatures but require that the actual signature that is used for DocuSign be input by hand.
b) The ability to see what the current signature for a signatory will look like prior to sending out documents for signature. This would help identify signatures that may be undesirable so that the signatory can be contacted and asked to make corrections prior to sending out the document for signature. This would allow a document preparer to avoid scenarios like:
i) scanned signature is from a scan with a dark background (resulting in a dark rectangular block with a darker signature in it).
ii) scanned signature is upside down or rotated 90 degrees.
iii) scanned signature is too low quality (poor resolution or too faint).
iv) scanned signature is microscopic/very small when reproduced, making it illegible.
The above feature would be best combined with a system that lets potential signatories that aren't signed up with DocuSign be enrolled into DocuSign before they need to sign documents so that their signatures can be vetted ahead of time.
Just my two cents....

Thanks for the feedback. We are working on some updates and we'll take your suggestions under consideration. Keep the ideas coming.
