# Create form control - Signature capture

You can add a control of type **Signature capture** to a form. Use this control to capture a signature on a mobile device and get it saved as a file. The resulting signature capture file is stored in the file store.

### Steps

1. Click **Mobility design**.
2. Click the **Forms** tab.
3. In the list, find and select the desired record.
4. Click **Edit**.
5. If you add a control, it is positioned before the selected control on the form.

On the preview, select the desired control.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> If the control list is shown instead of the preview, in the list, find and select the desired control.
6. On the **Properties** tab, click **Add**.
7. Click **Signature capture**.
8. Sub-task: Define control properties.
  1. In the **Control** field, type the signature capture control name.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> Only use letters and numbers, no spaces.
  2. You can use a label for the display name of the signature capture control.

If you use a label, do not define a **Text**.

In the **Label** field, enter or select a value.
  3. In the **Text** field, you can enter a free text as display name.

If you use a **Text**, do not define a **Label**.

In the **Text** field, type a value.
  4. By default, the signature capture control is shown on the form.

If you want to hide the signature capture control on the form, select **No** in the **Visible** field.
9. In the **Documentation** section, write the signature capture control documentation. For example, describe the purpose and characteristics of the signature capture control.
10. To show the added control on the preview, on the **Design** tab, click **Refresh**.

> [!NOTE]
> **Notes**
> 
> - In the event procedure, you need an action, with related class, to link the captured signature to the related record in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations.
> - In general, if you add a form control, it is positioned before the selected control on the form.
> - Where the control is exactly positioned on the preview, also depends on:
>   - The Append new line property of the previous control and of the added control.
>   - The preview style sheet.
> - You can use the **Up** and **Down** buttons on the **Properties** tab to move a form control to another position on the form.
