It’s October… time for pumpkins, ghosts, goblins and things that go bump in the night, right? Wrong.
Between working on a revolution in DNN (by releasing what we call the DNN game changer, Sharp Look) and preparing to attend DNNCon Palm Beach 2014, we at DNN Sharp also found time to add an awesome new extension to the Action Form add-ons arsenal. Read on to find out what it is!
Remember when you actually had to have a pen and paper to sign something? How sad. Since Action Form makes everything from capturing data to processing payments easier than paper, it was only a matter of time we made electronic signatures easier than paper, too.
Guys, say goodbye to mountains of paper and lost documents and say hello to DNN Electronic Signature Add-on for Action Form!
Electronic Signatures Are a Snap!
DNN Electronic Signature Add-on is an Action Form extension that provides an easy way to capture signatures online by allowing users to sign Action Form powered forms using their mouse to draw the signature or their finger on touch devices.
If your form requires signature to be finalized you do not need to waste any more time to print dead trees, sign them with pen and fax them overnight again.
There is no difference between an Action Form powered form that has been submitted with an e-signature and a form that has been signed on paper and faxed to you. Simply add the signature field as you would add any other field type and you’ll be good to go.
Why You’ll Love It?
If you’re an Action Form user, I think you will love this add-on for a number of reasons:
-
It saves time: Moving away from paper isn't easy. But the benefits are clear. Without paper, there is nothing for the signer to print, scan and send back. With DNN Electronic Signature Add-on there is no time wasted. Now you can do all this with just a few clicks!
-
It’s a joy to use: If you're anything like us, you don't want to spend your time trying to figure out how to use another exyension or trying to navigate its cluttered interface. We designed DNN Electronic Signature Add-on with you in mind. Action Form provides the form configuration and processing functionality necessary for DNN Electronic Signature Add-on to work. Enabling online signatures is as simple as adding a new field in Action Form. We want you to feel a little bit of magic every time you need something signed.
-
It’s helpful: In conjuction with DNN PDF Generator Add-on it helps you to have a real signature present on a PDF output document to be used as a legal or official document.

Wondering What Kinds of Forms May Need E-signatures?
E-signature forms can be used on contract forms, application forms, registration forms, online petitions, vendor contracts, contests, incident reports, forms that require terms of service agreements, non-disclosure agreements, incident reporting and human resources forms.

Is This Legally Binding?
Well, the short answer is “yes,” although many people still don’t fully understand how to use electronic signatures correctly and some remain leery of them. For many cases, electronic signatures are equivalent to pen-and-paper. But if you are dealing with complex legal or international issues with your form, you’ll want to talk to an attorney, as we’re not able to provide legal advice.
Wrapping Up
Action Form is a multi-functional framework. The more time you spend with it, the more you’ll realize this fact, too. And the ability to capture signatures online can certainly come in handy.
