Is it possible to add a Javascript so that a user cannot digitally sign unless all required fields are completed?

Hi Try67 and BarlaeDC

I'm noticing now when the user enters their signature it becomes invisible and I can't do see it.

Is there a way to fix this?

I would like to validate all the required fields before the user can sign the document.

Hi Try67

In the signature field I have:

a section of the file being locked after approval

an error message to advise the user of any required fields that are not completed.

and the script in question.

I just want:

a section of the file being locked after approval

the user to be unable to add their digital signature until all required fields are completed?

Hi Try67

Forgive me I'm not good with JavaScripts. Which section would you remove?

Hi Malcolm

I followed the instructions on the link. I created a hidden field on the form and added the below script but its bringing up an error message?

var emptyFields = [];

for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {

     var f= this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));

     if (f.type!="button" && f.required ) {

          if ((f.type=="text" && f.valueAsString=="") || (f.type=="checkbox" && f.value=="Off")) emptyFields.push(f.name);
     }
}
if (emptyFields.length>0) {
     app.alert("Error! You must fill in the following fields:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n"));
}
f.valueAsString==""
0=="";
var aFields = ["Start Date", "Name", "Status", "Job Title","Person Type","HR Manager","Manager","Working Hours","start","Finish","Pro Day","Pro Mont","Note Day","Note Mont","Evac Site","Roster","Softworks Dept","Currency","Salary","Sal Basis","Sal Year","Per","Per F","Company Car","Car Allowance","Fuel Card","Fuel Allowance","PlanType","LocalBonus","Sub Plan","Annual Target","Target Amount","Charged Segment","Healthcare","Local Healthcare","Life Insurance","Overtime","Employee","Employer","Organisation","BU Overide","Department Headcount","Location","Payroll1","Assign Category","Job Code","Apprenticeship","Location120","Account","Cost Centre","Product Line","Interco","Future","dropdown1","dropdown2","dropdown3","Safety","TTMS Module","Non-Majority","Badge/Fob","Internet","Laptop",];

var bAllFilled = true;

for(var i=0;i<aFields.length;i++)

{
    var oFld = this.getField(aFields);
     if(oFld.value == oFld.defaultValue)
     {
          bAllFilled = false;
          break;
      }
}
if(bAllFilled)
{
if(bAllFilled)
{
     this.getField("mySignatureField").display = display.visible;
}
else
{

     this.getField("mySignatureField").display = display.hidden
}

Hi Malcolm

Thanks for getting back to me. I changed the name of the digital signature field to mySignatureField and added the below script but its not working. Is there something else I need to added to the script?

if(bAllFilled)

{

     this.getField("mySignatureField").display = display.visible;

}

else

{

     this.getField("mySignatureField").display = display.hidden

}

Hi,

Could you not use something like this - Creating a conditional action with multiple required fields

If you set your signature field to hidden or readonly in the UI so when the user opens the document there is no signature field.

The only bit you might want to add to be save is an 'else' to make sure your signature field gets hidden again if the user changes any fields so they are not filled in.

// code shown for hiding and showing a signature field called "mySignatureField".

if(bAllFilled)

{

     this.getField("mySignatureField").display = display.visible;

}

else

{

}

Regards

Malcolm

Only by hiding the signature field until all the required fields are filled in.
