How to use text tags to documents

Text tags in airSlate SignNow are specifically formatted combinations of symbols that can be placed anywhere within your documents in order to preset the location, size and type of various fields such as Signature, Text, Initial fields etc.

1. To use text tags, you must add them to your document before uploading.

For example, the text tags being used for the ‘Date’ line are the following:

{t (for the Type of field): t (for Text): r (for Required): y (for Yes): o (for Role): “Customer”; l (for Label): “Date”; }

The text tags being used on first the ‘Sign Here’ line are the following:

{ t (for Type of field): s (for Signature); r (for Required): y (for Yes); o (for Role): “Customer”;}

The text tags being used on the second ‘Sign Here’ line are the following:

{ t (for Type of field): s (for Signature); r (for Required): y (for Yes); o (for Role): “Agent”; }

After placing text tags in your document and uploading it to airSlate SignNow, the document fields will show up automatically:
