Multiple initials in document

Hi Patrick,

This is an example JSON for text anchor:

          "fields": [
            {
              "type": "SIGNATURE",
              "extract": false,
              "extractAnchor": {
                "text": "Signature of the Client",
                "index": 0,
                "width": 150,
                "height": 40,
                "anchorPoint": "TOPLEFT",
                "characterIndex": 0,
                "leftOffset": 0,
                "topOffset": -50
              },
              "left": 0,
              "subtype": "FULLNAME",
              "top": 0
            }

......]

Where the "index" refers to the occurrence of the string. For example, a value of 0 means the first occurrence of the anchored text.

In your case, if you need to place multiple initials, you either need to duplicate the text anchors in each page, and reference the index from 0 to N. Or alternatively, text tags is practically a better solution to handle this use case if you don't know how many times the initials will be repeated.

Hi Duo,

Do you need to encapsulate each signature in a fields node ?

For example ..

 "fields": [
            {
              "type": "SIGNATURE",
              "extract": false,
              "extractAnchor": {
                "text": "Signature of the Client",
                "index": 0,
                "width": 150,
                "height": 40,
                "anchorPoint": "TOPLEFT",
                "characterIndex": 0,
                "leftOffset": 0,
                "topOffset": -50
              },
              "left": 0,
              "subtype": "FULLNAME",
              "top": 0
            }

......],

"fields": [
            {
              "type": "SIGNATURE",
              "extract": false,
              "extractAnchor": {
                "text": "Signature of the Client",
                "index": 1,
                "width": 150,
                "height": 40,
                "anchorPoint": "TOPLEFT",
                "characterIndex": 0,
                "leftOffset": 0,
                "topOffset": -50
              },
              "left": 0,
              "subtype": "FULLNAME",
              "top": 0
            }

......],

Hi Mark,

Yes, each signature has its "approvals" node. And as a result, you need to encapsulate a "SIGNATURE" type field under this approvals node to specify the field level attributes. A complete package JSON could look like below:

{
  "roles": [
    {
      "id": "Signer1",
      "name": "Signer1",
      "signers": [
        {
          "firstName": "John",
          "lastName": "Smith",
          "email": "[email protected]"
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "documents": [
    {
      "approvals": [
        {
          "role": "Signer1",
          "fields": [
            {
              "type": "SIGNATURE",
              "subtype": "FULLNAME",
              "extract": false,
              "extractAnchor": {
                "text": "Signature of the Client",
                "index": 0,
                "width": 150,
                "height": 40,
                "anchorPoint": "TOPLEFT",
                "characterIndex": 0,
                "leftOffset": 0,
                "topOffset": -50
              }
            }
          ]
        },
        {
          "role": "Signer1",
          "fields": [
            {
              "type": "SIGNATURE",
              "subtype": "FULLNAME",
              "extract": false,
              "extractAnchor": {
                "text": "Signature of the Client",
                "index": 1,
                "width": 150,
                "height": 40,
                "anchorPoint": "TOPLEFT",
                "characterIndex": 0,
                "leftOffset": 0,
                "topOffset": -50
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      ],
      "name": "Document1",
      "id": "Document1"
    }
  ],

Thank you.
