Introduction

The new Electronic Signature (E-Signature) feature allows you to have learners to acknowledge or "sign-off" that they have met the requirements specified during the Course learning path.

This functionality helps industries that require proof that a learner has read and accepted, signed off on, or completed specific steps, providing the learner with confidence that the learner is appropriately identified.

How to Add an E-Signature Learning Object

E-Signature Learning Objects are created when either adding or editing an Online Course. The following instructions begin from the Syllabus Course Settings section of an Online Course build.

If you choose to use the PIN confirmation method, be sure to configure your PIN Collection prior to beginning to create the E-Signature Learning Object.

Instructions

Click the Add Learning Object button

The button is located in the Outline Chapter 1 section of the Syllabus Course Settings block.

Notes

E-Signatures support one language per Course, as with Courses. If your environment supports multiple languages, you will need to create individual Courses and E-Signature Learning Objects to support each language.
The E-Signature Learning Object can be placed anywhere within the Course Syllabus; depending on the Must Complete settings within the Course:
- All lessons, in any order
- All lessons, in order by chapter
- Exams only

Configure PIN for Electronic Signatures

The use of electronically signing a Course using the PIN method is for clients who employ SSO; however, all clients can elect this choice.

Step	Instructions
1.	From the Admin Interface navigation menu, click Setup. A sub-menu will open. Click Templates. This action will route you to the Templates Report.
2.	From the Templates Report, choose a template by clicking its checkbox. Once checked, click the Edit button from the Actions menu. This action will route you to the template's settings.
3.	Click the Settings tab.
4.	Scroll to the Profile block. Click to expand.

Learners will have the opportunity to create their own PIN upon their next login after the above toggle has been set for their department (or based on department hierarchy).
