Could we save people's signature / allow people out their signature into the coda table?

1

Hi There,

I have made a table which record clients data (name, time and date) when they come in and out at the office.

Just curious, do we able to allow people (in this case the clients) to add their signature into the table for verification purpose?

Thank you.

Hi @Joco_Wijaya,

I’m not sure I fully understood your request.
I provided a very simple example to see if this is similar to what you intended:

Basically, it allows the user to explicitly approve their data.
The button can only be pressed if the current user is the person in the table.
It can obviously enhanced much more if this is the right direction.

Let me know if this helps.
Cheers.

Great sample @Federico_Stefanato,

And as Federico already mention, there can also be added the timestamp when the approval has taken place.

I didn’t want to start a new thread as this one looks like the same question I have.

I believe my requirement is the same as the OP. What I’d like to do is capture a hand written signature for someone using the document (via Coda app on an iPad) to sign in a field. Think of it as a text box but for signatures. It has to be this rather than an approver type scenario as I cannot guarantee that all signatories will have a Coda account (shameful, I know!)

Ability to securely sign documents is a pretty big scope change for Coda.io. However, a few small changes could make Coda give apps like HelloSign a run for their money.

It looks like the new canvas feature will go a LONG way to making this possible.

As a document author I would like to be able to produce dynamically generated legal documents in Coda and have the ability to get online signatures for those documents that are stored in a table. The following features would need to be added to Coda:

  • Ability to privately share a subdocument (not an entire document) that is read-only except for the form block that contains signature elements (organization, name, position, image for signature, date)
  • Ability to “snapshot” that document image with a unique ID and stored in a secure file vault that can be referenced by URL.
  • Ability to insert page breaks or specify that a form cannot be split across pages so that a printed version of the document looks good for the old lawyers who care about that kind of thing.

It seems like a lot of this functionality already exists in Coda - so it may not be as big of a lift as it seems.

+1 for this feature set. I know its not the core purpose of Coda.io, however I greatly value the ability to replace something like HelloSign/Docusign because MANY businesses require data input as part of processes that otherwise fit entirely in Coda.io.

The ability to have a user enter in data, and tables/calculations etc are automatically done is probably one of easiest sells to business owners who have that need and are considering this tool.
