Build Dynamic Documents That Adapt in Real Time with Conditional Fields

Blueink has introduced Conditional Fields, a new feature designed to make eSignature documents more flexible and responsive. With Conditional Fields, teams can control when specific fields appear based on signer input, allowing documents to adapt in real time.

This update makes it easier to manage complex workflows within a single template while improving the overall signing experience.

The Problem

Many eSignature documents are built to handle multiple scenarios. To accommodate different use cases, they often include fields that may not apply to every signer.

When all fields are displayed by default, it can:

• Make documents harder to complete
• Increase the chance of incorrect or unnecessary inputs
• Slow down the signing process

At the same time, managing separate templates for each scenario adds complexity and increases maintenance effort.

The Update

Blueink’s latest release introduces Conditional Fields, allowing teams to create rules that determine when specific fields are shown based on the value of another field.

This means:

• Documents can adjust dynamically based on signer input
• A single template can support multiple scenarios
• Teams can reduce the need to create and manage duplicate documents

Together, these improvements help streamline workflows while keeping documents clear and relevant for each signer.

How It Works

You can now define rules within your eSignature documents that control when certain fields appear. This allows teams to build more dynamic forms without increasing complexity.

To set up Conditional Fields:

• Select a Trigger Field
  Choose the field that will control the condition, such as a dropdown or text input.
• Set the Condition
  Define when the rule should apply based on the value entered.
• Choose Fields to Show
  Select which fields should appear when the condition is met.
• Apply the Rule
  During signing, the document automatically updates based on the signer’s input.

Multiple rules can be applied within a single document, allowing for more advanced and flexible workflows.

Good to Know

Conditional Fields are available on all Blueink plans except Standard and are designed for flexible eSignature workflows. They can be applied across a wide range of use cases, from onboarding forms to contracts with variable inputs.

This feature helps reduce unnecessary fields during signing while improving accuracy and usability for both teams and signers.
