  4. Select Save.

    Your selected preference is now the default for your ShareFile account and is used as the default in electronic signature requests.

    Note:

    If you change the default date format while adding the date field to a document, all subsequent date fields added during this particular session will use the selected format. Once you sign out, the date field will return the default setting.

See Time and Date under Edit Profile for more information on other time and date settings.

Date formats - RightSignature

When using ShareFile RightSignature standalone, the date format is set when you use the date field during a particular session. For instance, when you add a date field and make a change to the format, the format selected will remain the default throughout the session. Once you sign out and sign back in, the date format reverts to the default (US format) and can be set again.

Auto-fill date

When sending signature requests from your ShareFile account you can use auto-fill in the date field.

  1. When placing fields in a document you plan to send for signature, select Date Field and add it to the document.

  2. Double-click the field to access the options pop-up.

  3. Select the Auto-fill date signed to enable auto-fill.

    Note:

    If selected, the recipient is not able to edit this field. When not selected, the signer can edit the date signed field.
