A Certified JotBlock (set the property to true) visually distinguishes it from other JotBlocks. Printed “meta-data” appears embedded around the signature data. This “meta-data” includes an “Electronically Signed” statement, a date/time stamp, an IP address stamp and an internal JotBlock ID. If the Border property is not set, it will default to All for a Certified JotBlock. Note that the AssureSign application will enforce a minimum height and width to ensure that all elements render correctly to the document.

Built in formatters include:

  • Alphanumeric Mask - Replaces all alphanumeric characters with an asterisk.

  • Credit Card Mask - Replaces all but the last four digits with an 'X'.
