# Filling information requested in field placeholders

When the signer reaches the document, all **field placeholders configured by the initiator** become visible and active for interaction.

* **Pre-filled fields**
  * Certain fields such as **Name** may be automatically populated based on the signer’s account details.
  * **Date fields** are auto-filled with the **current signing date** by default.
  * Pre-filled values remain editable.
* **User-entered fields**
  * Fields for which information is not already available (for example, Designation or other custom inputs) must be manually filled by the signer.
  * The signer can directly click into these fields and enter the required information.
* **Mandatory field enforcement**
  * Fields marked as **mandatory** by the initiator must be completed before proceeding.
  * If any mandatory field is left empty, the signer cannot move forward to complete the signing process.

This ensures that all required information is accurately captured before the document progresses to the next step in the signing workflow.
