A signing tablet on your counter

A signing tablet on your counter lets people who walk in sign there and then, with nothing sent to their phone. It runs the forms you choose. Fern Hollow runs a campground and rents kayaks, so it has two forms: the campground waiver, and the kayak waiver. One tablet at the office can take both.

A signing tablet on your counter lets people who walk in sign there and then, with nothing sent to their phone. It runs the forms you choose. Fern Hollow runs a campground and rents kayaks, so it has two forms: the campground waiver, and the kayak waiver. One tablet at the office can take both.

In the dashboard, open Apps and tablets. The top of the page shows how to get the SignSealer app for the tablet. Below it, add the tablet: give it a name, and tick the forms it runs. Tick one, and the tablet opens straight on that form. Tick both, and it opens on a list of them. Then press Add.

SignSealer shows a pairing code, once. It lasts fifteen minutes and works one time. The tablet gets a credential of its own, so it never holds your account's API key.

On the tablet, open the app and type the code. That is the whole of pairing: the app now knows your business, and the two forms this tablet runs.

Before it goes on the counter, set a staff PIN under Settings. The kiosk will not start without one, because the PIN is the only way out of it. While you are here, choose how long the screen waits before it clears a form somebody walked away from.

Press Start. With two forms, the tablet opens on a list of them, each labeled with what it is, and there is no way back into the app without the PIN. The guest taps the kayak waiver first.

They type their name, and an email address for their copy.

They read the waiver, with their own name and today's date already in it, then agree to sign electronically, on a step of its own.

Then the waiver's own questions: here, an emergency contact, a name and a phone number. And they sign, with a finger in the box.

Signed. Because this tablet runs two forms, it offers the other one. Sign another form goes back to the list, with the kayak waiver ticked off, and the guest's name comes with them.

The campground waiver is signed on its own, the same way: their name is already in, so they read it, agree, and sign.

Both are signed. Next person clears the tablet, with this guest's details gone from it, and the list starts again for whoever is behind them.

Both waivers are in Documents as soon as they tap Sign: two separate agreements, each sealed with a certificate, like anything else you send. And the tablet keeps a copy of both forms, so if the network drops, it carries on taking signatures and sends them when it is back.
