Signing party fields in Scrive Connector: what each one means and what to enter

Some signing party fields you fill in before sending (contact, stage, signature box and custom fields) and Scrive fills in others when the party signs. Here is what each help text says and what is worth entering.

Most of the fields compared here are on the Parties tab of the signing party form, inside the Parties table; Custom Fields is visible on the party form itself. The field details and help texts come from the Odoo 20.0 code.

Where the signature box goes

FieldWhat its help saysWhat to enter
Signature BoxPlace a visible signature box for this party on the PDF. Verimi QES signs without one, so no box is drawn for it.It is ticked by default. It stops being visible if the signer's role is not the signing party one, or if the method to sign is Verimi QES.
PagePage for the signature box. 0 puts it on the signature page added at the end of the PDF sent to Scrive (on the last page when the Scrive account adds no signature page).It starts at 0. Change the number only if you do not want the box on the signature page.
PositionColumn of the page the signature box goes in when it has a page of its own, or when it goes to the bottom of the last page (no signature page added). No effect on the signature page, where each party has a block of its own.Options: Bottom left, Bottom center and Bottom right. The default is Bottom left.
Anchor TextOptional: place the signature box next to the first occurrence of this text in the PDF instead of fixed coordinates.Fill it in only if you want the box next to a specific piece of text in the document.

How Page and Position work together

With Page at 0, the box goes on the signature page added at the end of the PDF. There each party has a block of its own and Position has no effect. If the Scrive account adds no signature page, the box goes at the bottom of the last page, and then Position does matter: it decides whether the box sits on the left, in the centre or on the right. Position also matters when the box has a page of its own.

Custom fields for the signatory

Custom Fields takes extra checkbox, radio-group or custom-text fields for that signatory, beyond the built-in identity fields. Its help warns that they are ignored when you send from a template, because the template's own fields apply. If you are sending from a template, define those fields in the template rather than on the party.

What Scrive returns after signing

You do not decide these fields when you send.

FieldWhat it stores according to its helpNote
Signatory's AnswersWhat this signatory entered in their custom fields when they signed, as Scrive reported it.They are the signatory's answers, not ones you prepare.
Signed WithHow this party identified themselves when they signed, as reported by Scrive once the signature was made.It is not what was requested when the document was sent.
Verified NameThe name the eID provider returned for this signature.Read-only. Empty when the provider returns none; nothing is taken from what the sender typed.
Verified ID NumberNational identity number returned by the eID provider, when it returns one.Read-only.
Verified Date of BirthDate of birth returned by the eID provider, stored exactly as it comes.Read-only. Providers do not all use the same format.
Scrive eID TransactionScrive's own reference for the eID transaction behind this signature.Read-only; the module fills it in, not the user. Quote it when asking Scrive support about that signature.

What you ask for versus what gets recorded

AspectWhat you type or request when sendingWhat is recorded on signing
IdentificationThe method requested for signingSigned With: what Scrive reports once the signature is made
NameWhat the sender typesVerified Name: what the eID provider returns
Identity numberPersonal Number, which you typeVerified ID Number, if the provider returns one

They are separate fields. For the name, the help says so outright: nothing in Verified Name is taken from what the sender typed.

Quick check before sending

  • Mobile with a country prefix if there is SMS or a method that identifies by phone.
  • Personal Number if you use Swedish BankID or Danish MitID to view the document.
  • Signing Stage with a higher number for whoever signs later.
  • Box, page, position and anchor text according to where you want the signature on the PDF.
  • Custom fields only if you are not sending from a template.
