I am the Docusign Administrator for my company.  I have a user who got a loaner laptop, logged into Docusign and setup their signature.  The preferences→ General looks like this 

However, when she gets an envelope and opens the form document to sign, when she clicks in the signature field, she is prompted to create a new signature instead of using the one she setup.  Is there something in the envelope document causing this?

Hi ​@Holtinator  — thanks for raising this.
 

When a recipient is prompted for a signature, even though the signature is already configured on the account, it is because the name specified on the envelope is different from the signature name that is configured on the account. Therefore, the recipient is prompted to create another signature based on the name specified on the envelope. To further check on this, kindly provide an envelope ID. Thank you so much.

The envelope sender does have an option to require a new signature.

She is getting the following prompt after clicking in the field

This tells me that the form requires a digital signature as well, which she probably did on her former laptop, but the loaner laptop doesn’t have this setup.  She setup the new E-signature on her new laptop, but now it wants the digital signature setup.  Does that make sense?
