Abstract
Systems and methods facilitating electronic signatures (E-Signatures) are provided. Multiple E-Signatures can be provided to electronic documents through a simple command, such as a selection of a single graphical element. A user's signatures, initials, or other identifier can be added to the electronic document in the appropriate fields upon receipt of the appropriate command or command set from the user.

1-7. (canceled)
An electronic document sharing computing system comprising a processor and a computer-readable medium storing contents that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- cause a hosted electronic document to be presented to a user, wherein the presented hosted electronic document comprises:
- one or more signature fields for receiving input from a user, and
- for each of at least a portion of the signature fields, a visual indicium presented proximate to the signature field that indicates that the signature field is intended for the user's signature;
- and
- in response to receiving a selection of a selectable signature command element,
- populate with an electronic signature of the user at least one of the signature fields of the electronic document for which an indicium is presented.
A computer-readable hardware device having contents adapted to cause a computer system to perform a method, the method comprising:
- hosting an electronic document, the hosted electronic document having at least one associated image layer and at least one associated data layer;
- storing, in the at least one data layer associated with the hosted electronic document:
- information configured to cause one or more signature fields for receiving input from a user to be presented in association with a presentation of the electronic document, and
- information configured to cause one or more visual indicia to be presented proximate to at least one presented signature field;
- and
- in response to receiving a selection of a selectable signature command element,
- populating at least one of the signature fields of the electronic document with an electronic signature of the user.
The computer-readable hardware device of claim 1 wherein the single input command is a single mouse click.
A method, performed by a computing system having a memory and a processor, for sharing an electronic document, the method comprising:
- causing a hosted electronic document to be presented to a user, wherein the presented hosted electronic document comprises:
- one or more signature fields for receiving input from a user, and
- for each of at least a portion of the signature fields, a visual indicium presented proximate to the signature field that indicates that the signature field is intended for the user's signature;
- and
- in response to receiving a selection of a selectable signature command element,
- populating with an electronic signature of the user at least one of the signature fields of the electronic document for which an indicium is presented.
