Build Your Own Forms with Secured Signing Smart Tags

Smart Tag Form Fields give Secured Signing customers a simple yet flexible tool to build forms using familiar software such as MS Word and invite people to fill and sign them online.

The development team are constantly toiling away in the background on ways to make Secured Signing simpler to use and more powerful. This month we’ll shine the light on the Form Fields they’ve added to Smart Tags that give you a simple way to design forms that are Secured Signing ready.

Smart Tags are a great automation feature of Secured Signing which we have had for a while now. Many customers have found them to be a powerful way to make it even quicker to invite people to sign their document online. Adding a Smart Tag to your template allows you to quickly and easily make documents that are Secured Signing ready.

The Signature Smart Tag tells Secured Signing where a signature should be placed in your document and who should sign there. Using the Smart Tag button in My Documents you can upload as many Smart Tag documents as you like and send them all off in a single process. We also have a number of customers using Smart Tag merges to invite large groups of people to sign a personalized document with just a few clicks.

• Smart Tags- Automate your eSign Invitation from Documents Creation system
• Smart Tag Merge Fields – Smart Tag integration with MS Word.

The addition of Form Field Smart Tags allows you to make a fillable form that works with Secured Signing. It’s simply a case of adding the relevant Form Field Smart Tag where you want the person filling the form to provide their information. You can place as many Form Fields in your form document as you need and specify whether they are required or optional.

For example, adding the Smart Tag [!Field.Text.R] will place a text field in your document that is mandatory (required). If you replace the R with an O then it will be an optional text field. There are also a number of other attributes you can set including the height and width of the field.

The nice thing is you can build your form in whatever software you are familiar and comfortable with. When you are done, just export it to Word or PDF format and add it to Secured Signing.

When you send your Smart Tag Form to someone, they will see all the Form Field Smart Tags as fillable fields. They will need to complete all required fields before they are able to sign the completed form. It’s a much better option than sending them a form by email they have to print, complete, sign and scan to send back to you.

The best way to get started with Smart Tag Forms is to grab the Smart Tag Sample document and a copy of the Smart Tag Guide.
