The Adobe Acrobat Sign "Reason for Signing" feature is available to the enterprise level of service.
The Reason for signature feature allows the signer to provide the reason they are signing the agreement. This type of information is required in some work processes (eg: Title 21 CFR part 11), but is available to all enterprise level accounts if they would like to implement it.
Reasons can be required or optional.
The Reason field can be applied to Electronic or Digital signature fields. Initial fields are not included.
Reasons can be selected from a pre-defined list created by the Acrobat Sign admin, or entered into a free-form text field.
The Reason for signing feature is only available on the Bio-Pharma Settings page, which must be enabled by Support or your CSM.

Below the selectable options is the list of defined reasons.
If custom reasons are not allowed, this list must have at least one entry.

Once the reason is properly configured, click Save.
The reason becomes available for all signers immediately.
