The drawing and signature field provides your mobile users the ability to capture drawings using the touch screen on their mobile device.

Above the barcode icon and below the camera icon. If you need any help, click on the question mark with the red circle above the field icons to show more in-depth descriptions for each field.

To add a drawing and signature field to your form design, just click on the icon and the new field will appear at the bottom of the form designer OR you can click-and-drag your field to exactly where you want to place it in your form. Click on your newly added field to display the properties on the right-hand side of the form designer. You can completely customize the look, feel, and even functionality of your field. Clicking on the “Capture Signature” checkbox displays an inline drawing area for the mobile user to enter their signature. If you don’t have the “Capture Signature” checkbox checked, you can upload a default image. Uploading a default image is used as the background for drawing sketches. This functionality is useful for scenarios like marking out issues on technical diagrams, annotating floor plans, and other outline/blueprint type images.
