Must refer to an existing Document’s ID attribute. | | RecipientID | LocalId | This specifies the recipient whose signature is needed on the document. Must refer to an existing recipient’s ID attribute. | | PageNumber | nonNegativeInteger | This specifies the page number where the tab will be affixed. | | XPosition | nonNegativeInteger | This indicates the horizontal offset of the tab on the page, in a coordinate space that has left top corner of the document as origin. Docusign uses 72 DPI when determining position. | | YPosition | nonNegativeInteger | This indicates the vertical offset of the tab on the page, in a coordinate space that has left top corner of the document as origin. Docusign uses 72 DPI when determining position. | | ScaleValue | Decimal | Represents a decimal value of 0.5 to 1.0 position of the webcontrol scaling slider. A value of 1.0 represents full size and 0.5 is 50% size. | | AnchorTabItem | AnchorTab | This indicates Anchor tab in the document. See the Anchor Tab section for more information. | | Type | TabTypeCode | TabTypeCode is a simple type enumerating one of the following possible values: InitialHere, SignHere, FullName, FirstName, LastName, EmailAddress, Company, Title, DateSigned, InitialHereOptional, EnvelopeID, Custom, SignerAttachment, SignHereOptional, Approve, Decline, or SignerAttachmentOptional. | | Name | Name | This is the name of the custom tab. Note that, for a Type value of “Custom” and CustomTabType value of “List” the name is a “;” separated list of drop down list items. | | TabLabel | TabLabel | This is the name of the custom tab. This can be a maximum of 500 characters. Making custom tab’s TabLabel the same will cause the all like fields to update when the user enters data. When using this option, the TabLabel must not contain any spaces. Note that, for a Type of “Custom” and a CustomTabType of “Radio” make the TabLabels the same for any radio buttons you want to group together. The Name value will be what is returned for the radio selected in a group. | | Value | Value | This element specifies the value of the custom tab. For Type of “Custom” and CustomTabType of “List” the Value is the default selected item in the drop down list. For Type of “Custom” and CustomTabType of “Radio” or “Checkbox” place a “X” in this field to check the item by default. | | CustomTabType | CustomTabType | It tells what is represented by the tabs that have a TabTypeCode of Custom. Available custom tab types are: Text, Checkbox, Radio, List, Date, Number, SSN, ZIP5, ZIP5DASH4, Email, Note and Formula. List will be presented to the signer as a drop down list on the signing document. The values for a List are set in the Name field as “;” separated items. Checkbox cannot be set as a required field. Number, Date, SSN, ZIP5, ZIP5DASH4, and Email fields will be validated for format before the signer can complete the signing. Text, List, Date, Number, SSN, ZIP5, ZIP5DASH4, and Email characters will be limited by the size of the field set with CustomTabWidth and CustomTabHeight. | | CustomTabWidth | Integer | Width of the custom tab. | | CustomTabHeight | Integer | Height of the custom tab. | | CustomTabRequired | Boolean | Signer is required to fill out the custom tab if true.

This is optional and if not provided the default Docusign validation rules will apply. Javascript RegEx object is used for regular expression validation. Regular expressions must be supported by this object to resolve. | | CustomTabValidationMessage | String | Message to be displayed to the signer if the validation rule from CustomTabValidationPattern fails.

Each TabLabel must be contained in brackets. This can be a maximum of 2000 characters. Example: Three tabs (TabLabels: Line1, Line2, and Tax) need to be added together. The formula string would be: \[Line1]+\[Line2]+\[Tax] | | RoundDecimalPlaces | Integer | Sets the number of digits after the decimal point in a CustomTabType Formula tab. Can only have the values of 0 or 2. | | MaxLength | Integer | Sets the maximum number of characters a signer can enter in the tag. This is only active if CustomTabType is set to Text, Date, Number, SSN, ZIP5, ZIP5DASH4, or Email | | SenderRequired | Boolean | When true for a tab in a template, the sender must populate the tab before an envelope can be sent using the template. The value is only checked if the CustomTabType is List or Text. Note: This option does not function with the CreateEnvelopeFromTemplates method. If you want to send from a template that has this option enabled, you must use the CreateEnvelopeFromTemplatesAndForms method. | | RequireAll | Boolean | Optional element associated with SharedTab element (field markup). When true and SharedTab is true, information must be entered in this field to complete the envelope. | | TabOrder | nonNegativeInteger | A positive integer that sets the order the tab is navigated to during signing. Tabs on a page are navigated to in ascending Tab order value, starting with the lowest number and moving to the highest. If two or more tabs have the same Tab order number, the normal auto-navigation setting behavior for the envelope is used. |
