UI Components Signature Capture Inline

Intro

Signature capture inline is a variation of the signature capture component. This variation allows users to input their signature on a screen that is shared with other components.

Usage

Signature capture inline may be used when users need to view content on the screen along with the signature input area. This provides users with more context on what they are signing for.

Anatomy

Default State

A. Header

The header introduces the signature capture inline. It is the only part of the component that is not covered by the activation scrim.

B. Activation Scrim

The activation scrim is an overlay that is placed on top of the signature cell. When the scrim is present, the signature cell is deactivated, and the user cannot sign. The user must tap on the scrim to activate the signature cell.

C. Text Label 

The “Tap to Sign” text label provides a call-to-action for the user.

B. “Cancel” Action Button

The “Cancel” action button allows for the user to exit the active signing area.

C. Signature Line

The signature line prompts the user to input their signature in the space given.

D. Action Button Footer 

The action button footer provides the user two action buttons for the signing process. The “Clear” button erases what the user has signed on the screen. The “Save” button saves what the user has signed on the screen. Pressing the “Save” button will trigger the view mode of the signature and the “Re-enter Signature” button to appear.

Behavior and Interaction

Activation Scrim

The activation scrim is a call-to-action for the user to input their signature. It also allows the user to scroll on the rest of the screen without accidentally signing in the signature capture inline cell. The “Tap to Sign” activation scrim appears only in the first instance where the signature capture inline cell has not been activated yet.

Re-Enter Signature  

The “Re-Enter Signature” button appears once the user has pressed the “Save” button to save their signature. If pressed, it will clear the saved signature, reactivate the cell, and allow the user to sign.
