JotBlocks are areas in templates or documents that indicate, alternatively,

• where data will be applied that is passed through integration
• where data will be entered by a signer
• where digitized signatures will be applied by a signer
• the format of applied data
• instructions to end users (signers) that will appear when they are walked through the document signing process
   

Jotblocks may be defined

• when a template or document is created or edited using the template design page
• dynamically when submitting a document through DocumentNOW, by
  • embedded text tags
  • XML in the submission

• drawing, with a mouse, stylus, or a finger (on a touch enabled device)
• drawing on a signature pad
• typing
• selecting from drop down lists
• checking multiple items in a checkbox group
