    Hello,

    1) I have an orientation checklist on page 8 that I need to have a space for them to initial. How do I do that?

    2) Is there away to create a signature through typing, as oppose to drawing one with my mouse?

    Hello, @Alan_Freund

    1) I have an orientation checklist on page 8 that I need to have a space for them to initial. How do I do that?

    Unfortunately, the Input Table allow only for the following field types:

    Single Choice

    Checkbox

    Dropdown

    Textbox

    2) Is there away to create a signature through typing, as oppose to drawing one with my mouse?

    There are no widgets for typed signature (see the full list of verification widgets here), but you could use a simple Short Text field for that.

    The Adobe Sign widget will allow users to type their name.

    @Alan_Freund

    You're right, Adobe Sign Widget and DocuSign Widget have that feature. You can enter your signature by typing as opposed to drawing. Unfortunately, for the built-in signature field, there's no typing feature in it.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
