This Scalendo article explains how to manage signature methods for document recipients. Users can configure whether signers must draw their signature, type it, or choose between both options.

Key Features Explained:

The signature type control operates at the sub-account level, applying uniformly across all outgoing documents. Three options are available: draw-only signatures, typed signatures rendered in script font, or both methods for maximum flexibility.

Main Benefits:

The feature provides several advantages: it helps meet compliance requirements by enforcing handwritten-style marks when needed, ensures consistent signer experiences, enables faster completion with typed options, and centralizes method management without per-document configuration.

Setup Instructions:

Users navigate to Payments → Documents & Contracts → Settings → Document Settings, then scroll to "Control Signature Settings" to select their preferred method and save changes.

Important Notes:

The setting applies globally to the sub-account. When changed, existing open signing sessions require a refresh to reflect updates. The chosen method doesn't affect audit trails, status tracking, or workflow automation—all function identically regardless of signature type selected.
