Offline Mode
Allows temporary local signing and stores signed documents until connectivity is restored for secure upload and reconciliation.
signed kiosk mode streamlines in-person signing by minimizing user friction, ensuring consistent field completion, and producing an auditable record suitable for regulated environments and high-volume front-desk operations.
A front desk clerk manages the kiosk device, loads documents for walk-in signers, and monitors session flow. They are responsible for device readiness, basic troubleshooting, and ensuring completed documents are routed to the correct internal inbox or storage location.
A compliance officer configures retention policies, reviews audit trails, and ensures the kiosk workflow meets ESIGN, UETA, HIPAA, or FERPA requirements. They coordinate access controls and periodic audits to validate legal admissibility and data protection.
Public-facing operations and frontline teams use signed kiosk mode to collect signatures efficiently and consistently at points of service.
Organizations deploying kiosk mode balance user convenience with device security and compliance requirements to protect signer data and maintain valid records.
Allows temporary local signing and stores signed documents until connectivity is restored for secure upload and reconciliation.
Scheduled or on-demand export of completed documents and logs to secure cloud storage or archival systems for retention and audit.
Granular administrative roles enable separation of duties between device operators, workflow designers, and compliance reviewers.
Custom validation enforces data formats, conditional logic, and calculated fields to reduce manual correction and streamline processing.
Connectors to CRM, document management, or cloud storage automate routing and record enrichment after signing.
Real-time view of device health, session volume, and error rates to support operational oversight and troubleshooting.
Sequential field presentation reduces signer errors by ensuring required fields are completed in order and offering on-screen prompts for missing or invalid entries.
Session timeout, application lockdown, and automatic data clearing between sessions protect subsequent users and prevent exposure of prior signers' information on shared terminals.
Comprehensive logs include timestamps, IP or device identifiers, signer actions, field-level changes, and a tamper-evident record suitable for legal review.
Support for PINs, SMS/email verification, or supervised ID checks provides flexible assurance levels aligned with compliance requirements and organizational risk tolerance.
