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

... or setting it to read-only until the required fields are filled.

Hi Joel

How could I set it to read-only until the required fields are filled?

Hi Try67

How could I go about hiding the signature field until all the required fields are completed?

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

{

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,

you also need the script from the forum post I linked too, my script was just an addition to that script.

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
}

[#11]

add a } at the end.

[#12]

There are other issues with the code. Namely, it's an amalgam of two ways of doing it, one that checks all requires fields in the file and one that checks specific fields, defined in a list. It doesn't make sense to use both.

Hi Try67

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

[#14]

That depends on how you want it to work...
