Digital Signature - Form Element

Last updated: July 8, 2026

This Form Element is used to capture a signature from a participant, typically for the Informed Consent Form or Intake Form.

Good to Know: Chole does not currently support Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) signatures, thought that functionality is on the product roadmap.

Pro-Tip: A signature page in an ICF typically includes a field for the participant to type in their full name, a signature, and a date picker, set by default to today's date.

The primary text displayed for this element. Bold by default.

Description
