Usage

When to use Statement of Truth

• To collect a signature.: This component collects a digital signature from the user to certify their submission. This component is used in the Ask users for a signature pattern.

How this component works

The component works by asking the user to populate the text-input field with their name. That name must match the name entered earlier into the form on a previous step. If the name does not match, an error message is returned.

Behavior

• When using this pattern, do not add the privacy policy checkbox at the end of the form. The user does not need to check another checkbox for privacy policy.

Placement

• Place the component underneath the accordions on the review page. Do not hide this component inside an accordion.
