Reusable Subforms

You can explicitly configure reusable subforms for electronic signatures. A reusable subform configured for an electronic signature acts independently of its hosting power form's configuration. You can configure the reusable subform to prompt for an electronic signature without configuring the power form.

When a reusable subform is not configured for an electronic signature and its hosting power form is, the reusable subform is considered to have an implicit configuration. In this case, the reusable subform operates in the same manner as an embedded subform.

In addition, you can explicitly turn off, or exclude, electronic signatures on a reusable subform. In this case, if a user clicks the Save button on the reusable subform, the system does not prompt for an electronic signature, even if the power form was configured for an electronic signature. For example, you may have a business process that requires you to configure a power form for an electronic signature. However, the power form contains a reusable subform that does not require an electronic signature. In this case, you would explicitly configure the reusable subform to exclude the electronic signature. As a result, when a user clicks the Save button on the reusable subform, the system will not prompt for an electronic signature for the subform.

Note: You cannot configure electronic signatures at the application level if the application contains a reusable subform.
