Signature lines

Every signable document must have at least one signature line. Think of it as the dashed line that people used to sign using a pen...

Creating a signature line

A signature line is always linked to a document and can't exist on its own. On construction of a signature line object, a document object must be passed to the signature line constructor. The example below illustrates how to link a new signature line to an existing document object in $myDocument:

// Create a new signature line object
$mySignatureLine = new SignatureLine($myDocument);

// Set the role, that the signer will sign as
$mySignatureLine->setRole('attorney');

// Finally, persist the new object
SignatureLine::persist($mySignatureLine);

Linking a signer to a signature line

To link a signer to a signature line, simply use the setSigner() method on the signature line object. Note that the signer has to be linked to the same case file as the document containing the signature line is.

// Link an existing signer to the signature line
$mySignatureLine->setSigner($mySigner);
