Electronic Signatures Configuration Page

Use this page to define additional metadata fields that are stored as part of the metadata for the electronic signature. Electronic signature information is stored and managed in a separate ElectronicSignatures table in the database.

Note:

Plan your custom fields carefully before you use them. After you create a field (click Save Changes), you cannot change the field name, the data type, or the required status. If you delete a field, you delete any data previously stored in that field.
