Sketch Field

Sketch Field

The Sketch Field allows for rough drawings, written notes and image annotation, and can also be used to capture signatures.

Configuring the Sketch Field Type

Simply drag and drop a Sketch Field from the left-hand toolbar onto your Form page, then configure it using the right-hand properties panel.

Static Background

Upload a default image for use as the background for sketch drawing. This is useful for scenarios like marking out issues on technical diagrams, annotating floor plans, and other outline/blueprint-type images.

Dynamic Background

Define a calculation/formula that will dynamically populate an image into this field.

Is Personal Data

This indicates that data captured in this field may contain personal or sensitive information. When exported from the platform, this data can be anonymized.

Apply Watermark Text

In the Advanced Options section, a watermark can be configured.

This feature supports

  • Dynamically generated multi-lined text
  • Custom text color, size, and position
  • Watermark background color
  • Stroke outlined text

The text stamped on the sketch is driven by static text or formula or a combination of both (not just a data name reference), with options to customize the color of the text and the position it appears in the sketch.

When using a formula in a Text Builder, the formula needs to be wrapped in a single curly and round brace tag, {( )}.

Examples:

Formula to generate watermark:

Date: {( NOW() )}

Watermark Text displayed on the sketch:

Date: 2025-12-11T10:39:42-03:00
