Biometric Signature
...
The Biometric Signature requires a smartphone or tablet with the SIGNificant SignOnPhone App. The App is used to record the biometric signature. The smartphone or tablet is required because of security reasons to ensure high encryption and security of the biometric data. The App is available for free download in the App-Stores of iOS, Android and Windows.
Web browser: When signing a biometric signature a QR Code is generated and displayed to record the biometric signature on a smartphone or tablet.

The process of signing with a disposable certificate is different to the process of signing with the signature fields above. Therefore this explanation and figures will guide you through the process of signing with this signature type. First the signer receives an email to sign the envelope. After clicking on the signature field a new window appears that you have to accept the general terms and conditions. The next figure shows you how the agreement looks like.
After accepting all three points of the agreement you get a sms OTP. Enter the code which you got via sms and fill it in the field next to OTP. The next figure gives you an overview of the notification you get.
After entering the correct code you have signed the document successfully.

If there are more than one authentication methods for the signer available, the signer can select the one he/she prefers.
PIN
SMS
Windows Live
Multiple signature types
The sender of an envelope can select more than one signature type, so that the signer is able to choose his/her preferred type.

With the batch signing the recipient can decide if he/she wants to sign all signatures within a document at once or each by each.
If the sender selected signature list (“preselected” or “unselected”) the recipient gets a window like in the last screenshot. If the sender selected “simple batch” the recipient gets the following window by clicking on the signature field:
