Thank you for your feedback

Pre-2022 templates were built using our legacy HTML syntax. This article is for you if your tags are in $tag; format

Designer Studio houses your signature templates. The signature templates are designed in HTML. Don't worry if you are not familiar with HTML, we provide your initial signature templates during onboarding

Check in Signature Assignments (Signature drop down > Signature Assignments) to see which signatures are LIVE. Use caution when editing a live signature. We recommend cloning before editing and using the preview button before pressing Save

Useful Functions in Designer Studio

Conditional fields: wrapping all optional fields within conditional statements ensures that there are no gaps in the signature if field data is missing.
Hidden fields: hidden fields do not appear in the signature block or in MySig. Hidden field data is synced or uploaded into Opensense.
External and Internal Wraps: allows the signature to appear differently when received by those within your domain vs outside of your domain.
