If TRUE the control will be visible. If FALSE the control will not be displayed. If the field is empty, the control will be visible.

If TRUE the control will be disabled and the user will not be able to interact with the control. If FALSE the control will be enabled. If the field is empty, the control will be enabled.

Example #1

To configure a type signature, on the Web Page that will hold the signature input, create two additional variables of type Text: typed_signature, where the typed signature value will reside and mode , which will contain the current mode of the Signature Input Control. This variable will be used to toggle the appearance of the text input box.

Add the Signature Input to the Web Page. In Advanced Control Properties , set the Signature value to typed_signature.  Next, click the '+' icon next to the Signature Input and add the Text Input to the control.

Change the Data Binding on the Text Input to typed_signature. In Advanced set the Is Visible value to:

activity.mode = "type"

On Actions > Value Changed, set activity.mode to event.mode. The mode will either be "draw" or "type."

This configuration will allow the user to type in a signature instead of requiring the drawn signature.

Example #2

The signature control can collect a signature at the end of a legal document.

Add a Signature control to a Web Page. Create an Asset on the Web Page. On the Signature control, set the Signature value to the asset created.
