How to use text tags in documents
Text tags in airSlate SignNow are specifically formatted combinations of symbols that can be placed anywhere within your documents in order to preset the location, size and type of various fields such as Signature, Text, Initial fields etc.
1. To use text tags, you must add them to your document before uploading.

For example, the text tags being used for the ‘Date’ line are the following:
{t (for the Type of field): t (for Text): r (for Required): y (for Yes): o (for Role): “Customer”; l (for Label): “Date”; }
The text tags being used on first the ‘Sign Here’ line are the following:
{ t (for Type of field): s (for Signature); r (for Required): y (for Yes); o (for Role): “Customer”;}
The text tags being used on the second ‘Sign Here’ line are the following:
{ t (for Type of field): s (for Signature); r (for Required): y (for Yes); o (for Role): “Agent”; }
After placing text tags in your document and uploading it to airSlate SignNow, the document fields will show up automatically:

Electronic Signature FAQs

What is the "best" electronic / digital signature solution?
What is Digital Signature? And Benefits of Digital Signature CertificatesA digital signature is basically a way to ensure that an electronic document (e-mail, spreadsheet, text file, etc.) is authentic. Authentic means that you know who created the document and you know that it has not been altered in any way since that person created it.Digital signatures rely on certain types of encryption to ensure authentication. Encryption is the process of taking all the data that one computer is sending to another and encoding it into a form that only the other computer will be able to decode. Authentication is the process of verifying that information is coming from a trusted source. These two processes work hand in hand for digital signatures.How do I get a Digital Signature?Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is a secure digital key that certifies the identity of the holder, issued by a signNowing Authority (CA).

They are:Class I DSC – Individuals get it for validating the email identification of the users and in situations where risk is minimal and here the signature is stored in software.Class II DSC – Business organizations or individuals use this digital signature certificate to validate the information given by the subscriber in the application against the information available in a trusted consumer database and in other such situations where security risk is moderate. In this case a hardware cryptographic device is used for storing the signature.Class III DSC – This digital certificate is directly issued by the signNowing authority and it is required that the person applying for DSC must be present at the signNowing authority’s premises and prove his/her identity in front of the authority and the security risk involved in this case is very high. In this case also a hardware cryptographic device is used for storing the signature.The Necessity of Digital Signature CertificatesFor e-filing of the income tax returns by any individual, the Government of India has made it mandatory to affix digital signatures to the income tax returns documents. For affixing the digital signature one must have digital signature certificates issued by licensed certification authority.In addition, Ministry of Corporate Affairs has set the mandatory guidelines for the companies directing them to file all reports, applications and forms using a digital signature only and this again requires a digital signature certificate.For GST also a company must verify its GST application by affixing a digital signature using digital signature certificate in order to get registered for GST.These days many Government procedures, filling different applications, amendments and forms require digital signatures made by using digital signature certificates.Benefits of Digital Signature CertificatesSaves Money & Time: As there is no need of physical presence you can digitally sign your PDF files and other documents using DSC anywhere & anytime. You need not sign your airSlate SignNow documents and then scan them to send them across through internet if you follow the above given option. You can save the money which would otherwise be spent on printing and scanning the document. You can also go green by saving airSlate SignNow.Secured Data: The digitally signed documents are tamper proof as the digital signatures are secured with a private key and public key and they cannot be edited after digitally signing the document.Authentic: Digitally signed documents are authentic and the receiver can be completely sure about the sender’s identity and integrity. The receiver can easily execute the information in the document without worrying about the document being forged.Certificate (DSC) is essential for companies and organizations that take part or intend to take part in eTendering processes on various Government sites.

For More information about Best Digital Signature company in kanpurDifferent software solutions exist for different platforms, hence I am going to give one (the most common one) for each one of them:Windows: Open the PDF in airSlate SignNow Reader and click the “Fill & Sign” button in the right pane.Mac: Open the PDF in Preview, click the Toolbox button, then click SigniPhone and iPad: Open the PDF attachment in Mail, then click “Markup and Reply” to sign.iPhone and Android: Download airSlate SignNow Fill & Sign, open the PDF, and tap the Signature button.Chrome: Install the airSlate SignNow extension, upload your PDF, and click the Signature button.n short, “best” varies by your specific need - and there are dozens of comparison vectors. The 2 most important, IMHO, are do you needA “standing order” doc that can be easily signed anytime by anyone, such as an injury waiver at a karate school / trampoline park / etc- that sort of thing. The signor is not pre-defined. For that, we (SwiftCloud) may well be best, but there are dozens to compare, and important to consider is volume, HIPAA medical compliance, integration to marketing, etc.Specific doc / signor - such as a real estate sales contract. The parties are pre-defined, and automation can be added to flow from group 1 (say, “the seller(s)”) to group 2 (seller’s agent, for example) to group 3 (the buyer(s) consecutively or concurrently.The #1 reason to use eSignature is to save time + integration on the data i.e. so marketing is 100% automated for example, and reducing time-to-close which results in higher sales pull-through rates. Don’t get me wrong, saving money on airSlate SignNow, printer, ink, printer jams, etc. is important - but that’s a money saver, not a money maker. Marketing and sales will actually create new revenue for you, so to not use electronic signature is for most businesses, downright neglectful. Granted, I’m a bit biased, but happy to do a formal study to prove it with real numbers, should anyone be so inclined.And you are good to go!! -

What is best enterprise digital signature software?
How many users do you have? I imagine if you’re on enterprise level it must be above 500. If that is the case Ben Elliot has a strong point in looking at the cost of changing as well as how the companies are priced. Some are based on only signature lines, others are based on users - some is a combination and so on…As an enterprise you might also want to look into the history of the company. They’re still many new-born start-ups out there operating in the digital signature industry, who’s not yet above the proof of business stage. This puts your enterprise in great risk as you don’t know IF and for how long that company will survive. So with respect to these companies I’d recommend chosing a company who’s is above this stage and who has other enterprises on their customer list…There are several companies out there who make an extremely great job in providing companies with a digital signature solution and which one is the best all depends on your needs. Some are best suited for specific industries such as airSlate SignNow where I work, where we focus on accountants, lawyers and real-estate. Others are more general and so forth.I’d recommend you to make a list of the requirements you have and then based on that, look at which company can best serve your needs.Although you may not find my credibility to be the highest, now that I work at a digital signature company myself, I do recommend taking a look at what we’re doing at airSlate SignNow.com - a global solution based in Copenhagne, Denmark that is specialized in the accounting, lawyer and real-estate industry.

What electronic document management system features do you find the most useful, and why?
The most important features are definitely the search capabilities!Depending on the size of an organisation (hence the amount of content generated), over the time, the huge amounts of information must be easily searchable - google-able.To me this is the most valuable feature - to be able to quickly find the information I need. I use the document management system as my extended memory. Everything else are minor nice-to-have’s.For instance, I would not recommend Mojo. Having experience with it from an organisation of ~17000 people, very hard to find anything. Maybe this is just a lack of con... -
