Thanks for visiting our November product updates blog. Take a look at what eformsign has been up to this month.

1. [New] Introducing the In-person Signing Feature!👍

The In-person signing feature has been added. It allows you to collect signatures in person from signers using a single device, whether it’s a PC, tablet, or smartphone.

With the addition of this new feature, even when you collect signatures from signers in person, the signers’ information is recorded in document history and audit trail certificate, and completed documents are automatically sent to the signers.

Previously, when signing in person, the in-person signer’s data was not recorded in document history and audit trail certificates, and the completed document was not automatically delivered to the in-person signer.

The In-person signing feature can be enabled in the signer step and it allows you to set multiple in-person signers in a single signer step and you can require in-person signers to undergo identity verification prior to signing for added security.
