Is there anyway to record the time of a signature on a document?

Question

I work in real estate and timely signatures are very important. Is there anyway to show the time a document was signed on the actual document?

Hi Scott,
Yes, this is quite possible using the text-tagging feature in Echosign. A sample of this text-tagging code would be the following for a signature block along with the date and the time:
{{Sig1_es_:signer1:signature}}
{{Date_es_:signer1:date}}
{{Time_es_:signer1:calc(now()):format(Date,”hh:nn:ss tt”)}}
So, in the instance where it shows the {{Time}} block, the calculation would be broken down as follows:
{{Time_es_:signer1:calc(now()):format(Date,"hh:nn:ss tt")}}
"calc" tells the app to calculate, "now" returns the date and time when the signature is signed. Along with the Date, you also get the hours(hh), minutes (nn), and seconds (ss). The "tt" at the end designates the AM or PM status whereas if you wanted to use Military or 24-hour time, you'd drop the "tt" and simply use "HH" in place of the "hh".
I hope this answers the question for you and if there are any other questions in follow-up to this, feel free to ask!
