Use date, time, and signature components
Capture dates and times with the Date/Time Picker, and collect handwritten signatures from submitters.
Both components share the same Visibility control (Editable, Visible, or Hidden per workflow step), a Width from 1 to 12 columns, optional Hint and Tooltip helper text, a Name used as the CSV export column, and a read-only ID.
Date/Time Picker
The Date/Time Picker lets the submitter choose a date, a time, or both. Use it for an event date, a requested start date, or a meeting time. Common forms are Timesheets or Event Registrations.
Properties
- Label
- The text displayed above the picker.
- Required
- When enabled, the submitter must choose a value before submitting.
- Type
- Under Input Settings. Controls what the submitter can pick: Date allows users to select a specific day, month, and year Time allows users to select a specific time Date & Time allows users to select a combination of both date and time Month allows users to pick only the month and year
- Interval
- When you choose Time or Date & Time type, you have the ability to control time intervals (ranging form 1 minute to 60 minutes) to further narrow the values submitters can choose.
- Earliest date / Latest date
- In the Rules section, use Select earliest date and Select latest date to restrict the selectable range. Dates outside the range are disabled. These dates can be set as a fixed date or dynamic.
Use the earliest and latest date limits to prevent invalid selections.
For example, on a travel request form, use a dynamic rule to set the earliest date to today so submitters cannot pick a date in the past.
Signature
The Signature component provides a way for users to electronically sign forms. It creates a dedicated field where users can adopt an electronic signature, ensuring compliance and accuracy for formal submissions.
When using the Signature component, it automatically includes a Timestamp component labeled Date Signed. This ensures you have a record of when consent or approval was given.
Properties
- Label
- The text displayed above the signature pad - typically "Signature" or "Authorized Signature."
- Required
- When enabled, the submitter must provide a signature before submitting.
The signature appears on PDF downloads of the submission. To set a step where the field only shows a previously captured signature without allowing a new one, set its Visibility to Visible on that step.
