In the “Additional signing information” dialogue section, you will find the “Hide labelling, change order” button on the right, which you can use to show or hide labels and change the order of the lines. You can use this dialogue to influence how and in what order these information fields are displayed in a visible signature.
Please note that you must either select the option “Create a signature field if it does not exist” in the next dialogue section or, alternatively, create a signature field for the PDF file by using the context menu in the “File selection” step, see section 6.4.2. Like all settings for a “visible signature field” described here in section 5.6, the settings in the “Hide labelling, change order” dialogue are also effective for both methods in which a visible signature field is created.
The button opens a new dialogue window, see next figure, in which you can select or deselect the respective label using a checkbox. To change the order, select a line so that it is highlighted in blue. Select the corresponding option on the right (up, down, etc.).

Effects of the dialogue “Hide labelling, change order”
The default setting is that all fields are selected, as was the case in previous releases of DATA Boreum. This means that the labels are displayed before the lines of the visible signature field. You have the following options in this dialogue:
· Field selected, field content entered: If a a line in the dialogue is checked, the label is also displayed in front of the content of the field in addition to the content of the signature field. Labels are ‘Signed by’, ‘Location, ‘Date’ and ‘Reason’.
· Field not selected, field content entered: If you leave a field unchecked, the label will be omitted, but the field will still be displayed if content is filled in.
· Field content missing: If a field has no content, it is not displayed, even if the corresponding label is selected.
· Field not selected, field content entered, sequences changed: Even if a field is not selected, i.e. the associated label is not displayed, the fields are displayed in the order you specified in the dialogue, provided they have field contents.
The following illustration shows a comparison between visible signature fields with and without a label.
