Use QCDS Signer Information Fields

Signer Information fields place frozen participant identity/profile data on the document. In QCDS 2.0.7, Email is read-only; Name, First Name, Last Name, Phone, Address, Company, and Title/Position can be corrected by the signer and may update the source Contact after successful completion.

Current Signer Information Fields

  • Signer Name — full display name.
  • Signer First Name — given/first name.
  • Signer Last Name — family/last name.
  • Signer Email — frozen participant email; read-only in the signer app.
  • Signer Phone — phone number.
  • Signer Address — consolidated address text.
  • Signer Company — company or organization.
  • Signer Title / Position — job title or position.

Values Come From the Frozen Participant Snapshot

When the Request is prepared, QCDS freezes participant identity/profile information into the Request. Signer Information fields begin from that frozen evidence rather than continually reading the live Contact while the signing session is open.

This is why editing a Contact after Send Now does not silently rewrite an already-sent Request.

What the Signer Can Correct

The active 2.0.7 signing app allows the signer to edit Name, First Name, Last Name, Phone, Address, Company, and Title/Position. Signer Email remains read-only because it is part of the delivery/participant identity context.

The signer controls have bounded input sizes: First/Last Name up to 120 characters, Phone up to 64, Address up to 500, and Full Name/Company/Title up to 255.

When Corrections Update a Saved Contact

If the participant originated from a saved QCDS Contact, signer-entered corrections to the editable Signer Information fields can be applied back to that live Contact after the participant successfully completes signing. This is a best-effort profile update for future work.

The write-back does not change the signer email, and it does not rewrite the frozen Request snapshot, prior field evidence, signatures, audit trail, or completed PDF.

Use the Fields Deliberately

  1. Place only the profile details the document actually needs.
  2. Assign the fields to the intended signer.
  3. Remember that Email is display-only while the other current Signer Information fields can be corrected.
  4. Send a test Request and verify both the signer experience and completed PDF.
  5. If testing with a saved Contact, confirm any intentional correction updates the Contact only after successful completion.
