How to Add an E-Signature Element to Your Form Builder

Adding an e-signature element to your form builder is a simple and effective way to gather signatures from your clients. Follow these steps to add an e-signature block to your forms and ensure secure and compliant client sign-offs.

What is an E-Signature Block?

An e-signature block is a secure way for your clients to electronically sign any of your forms. This includes forms such as a Terms and Conditions with Signature form. By adding an e-signature block, you can ensure that your clients are opting in to your terms in a secure and compliant manner.

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding an E-Signature Block

  1. Create a Form

    • Start by creating a new form in Tern.

  2. Access General Elements

    • Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the General Elements section.

  3. Add Terms and Conditions Block

    • Locate the Terms and Conditions block.

    • Drag and drop the Terms and Conditions block onto your form.

  4. Add E-Signature Block

    • Find the E-Signature block.

    • Drag and drop the E-Signature block onto your form, following the Terms and Conditions block.

What Your Clients Will See

  1. Prompt for Information

    • Your clients will be prompted to enter their information and check a box agreeing to your Terms and Conditions.

  2. E-Signature Requirement

    • Clients will be required to add an e-signature and check a box agreeing to the e-signature.

  3. Recording and Storing Responses

    • Once the form is completed, the e-signature response will be recorded and stored in your forms, adding an extra layer of security to documents such as client agreements or Terms and Conditions.

Adding a Date Field (Optional)

  • If you would like to add a date field for your clients to enter, you can do so by adding a text field.

  • Note that every form response is automatically timestamped, so adding a date field is not necessary.
