Verification and Audit Logs

Document Rendering

The system automatically replaces the {{signature}} tag with a composite image containing your drawn signature, printed name, and the precise Date/Time stamp of the action.

The Audit Log (Compliance)

For every internal signature applied, the system generates an E-Signature Log (Audit Log) record. This log captures:

• Signer's Full Name
• Signer's IP Address
• Precise Date and Time
• Signature Image Data
