Digital Signature - enforce mandatory fields before signing

[Former Community Member]

(Using version 8.05)

I have a form with digital signature that locks certain fields in a collection upon signing it, then they click button to send full PDF via email to another person. That person then signs, locking down their portion of the form, and email to another person for action.

The digital signing works fine but it allows mandatory fields to be locked down even though they are blank, the submit button enforces the mandatory fields but will not enforce the digital signing. The button can allow user to sign submission, but it does not show on the form which I need it to do.

How can I make this work in 8, my javascript knowledge is very limited.

I am considering upgrading to 9, I believe it allows more control for non-java types like myself with the action builder...

Thanks,

Hello

You could add some JavaScript to the "PreSign" event of the signature field that could check to see if the mandatory fields were filled.  If not then you could abort the signing process.

I'm not 100% sure if the "PreSign" event existed in version 8.x of Designer however.  It is definately part of version 9.x.
