Advanced blocks

Advanced blocks include the option to add a digital signature, media picker and embed an external service. Adjust the properties to control how they are used.






Digital Signature


A digital signature gives the ability for the content of a page to be verified by another person - particularly someone without a PebblePad account. The block replicates a pen signature and can be signed with a finger (on a touchscreen) or mouse cursor.






Shared block properties

The following shared block properties can be adjusted:


  • Hints on asset view
  • Show empty fields in view
  • Duplicate block


Custom block properties

Verification

Specify what information the signatory should provide when they sign. More information provides greater security and audit reporting.


  • No further information required (signature only)
  • I want the signatory to add their name when they sign
  • I want the signatory to add their name and email address when they sign.


When email is included, the signatory will be sent a confirmation notification.



Editing the asset

Specify what happens to the page after it has been signed, and whether the learner can make further changes or not.


  • I want a warning to be displayed if the user edits the asset
  • I want the signature to be blanked if a user edits the asset
  • I want the asset locked permanently when a signature is confirmed


When used on a template within a workbook, blanking and locking only affects the individual page, and not the overall workbook.



See the learner's guide to digital signature in PebblePocket.





Media Picker


The media picker provides a placeholder requesting the learner to attach one asset to the page. 






Shared block properties

The following shared block properties can be adjusted:


  • Hints on asset view
  • Show empty fields in view
  • Mandatory for
  • Duplicate block


Custom block properties

Media picker types

Specify the type of media the learner should attach. It can be one or all of the following options:

  • Image

  • Audio
  • Document (PDF, doc, text, etc)






Embed


The embed block provides a placeholder for the learner to add a supported external service into the page.






See the learner's guide to supported embed services.
