How does the eSign timestamp work?

Brokermint eSignature adds a time stamp by default, complementing it with a unique hash and BM-SIGNED logo on it. For improved readability, we placed the timestamp behind the signature, so that the eSignature itself can be visible no matter the value of a time stamp.

A few important things to note:

  • The time zone displayed on the time stamp corresponds to the account that sends the document for eSign. If you send a document for eSign from the CST zone (as it is set on your device), another side will see the CST timezone values on the timestamp.

  • When you update or adjust your signatures during the eSign process, the time stamp will be changed as well.

How do I include a time stamp along with the date signed on the document?

Note: this only works if a user has a Can manage library permission.

In the company Library, or within the transaction checklist, select the needed document and click Edit. On the document, select the Date/Time tool and draw a field with the needed size (we recommend making it large enough). After placing the field, you'll see a dropdown selector which will allow you to select the Show date and time option, which reflect when the signer opens a document.

What are the best ways to size fields for eSignature?

CleanShot_2022-12-20_at_17.56.17.png
  • Try making the field box as large as possible so that it can be clearly read on most screen resolutions.

  • If your field has a ... cut on the date and time, try using a smaller font size so that it will fit the box.

  • If you need to replace a field to another side/page, decrease the zoom of your interface at the top to make it faster.
