Adding Signature Anchors

Signature anchors are special template variables that tell TurboSign where to place signature elements (name, date, signature) in your generated documents. This guide walks you through adding them to your template.

Prerequisites​

  • A template uploaded to TurboDocx with signature variables (e.g., {SalesSigner})
  • TurboSign configured in your organization (see Setting up TurboSign)

Add Signature Anchors​

Step 1: Select Your Template​

Navigate to your templates and select the template you want to configure with signature anchors.

Select Template

Step 2: Open Template Preferences​

Click Edit Template & Preferences to open the template configuration view.

Edit Template and Preferences

Step 3: Edit the Signature Variable​

Click the edit icon on the signature variable you want to configure as an anchor (e.g., SalesSigner).

Edit Signature Variable

Step 4: Open the Field Type Menu​

In the variable settings panel, click the ... menu button next to the Default Value field to see the available field type options.

Open Field Type Menu

Step 5: Select "Wrike Signature Field"​

Choose Wrike Signature Field from the dropdown. This marks the variable as a TurboSign signature anchor that will be used to place signature elements in the generated document.

Select Wrike Signature Field

Step 6: Save Changes​

The field now shows TurboSign Signature Anchor. Click Save Changes to persist the configuration.

Save Changes

Your signature anchor is now configured. The variable will show a Signature Anchor tag to confirm it's set up correctly.
