Sign-in sheet template
Ruled sign-in sheet for a clipboard: columns you define, rows numbered straight through a pre-filled roster and then a run of blank lines, a row deep enough for a biro, ruled boxes for the count and the quorum, and a certification block for whoever closes the sheet. The column header repeats on every page and a running foot carries the meeting and the sheet number.

Fields
The full JSON Schema is below. Required fields are marked; anything missing comes back as a 422 naming the path, the expected type and a value that would be accepted.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| accent | string | optional | The one spot colour: the PLEASE SIGN IN and CERTIFICATION labels. Rules and column heads are black. A hex colour or a CSS colour keyword. It is interpolated into the stylesheet, so nothing else is accepted. |
| title | string | optional | |
| event | object { name, organisation, date, time, … } | required | |
| sheet_of | string | optional | Printed in a ruled box at the top right, and again in the running foot, when you are running several sheets at once. |
| row_numbers | boolean | optional | Print the numbered column at the left. Turn it off when the sheet is a roster people tick rather than a run of lines people claim, and the columns you defined take the whole width. |
| purpose | object { heading, text } | optional | The instruction under the header, set as a labelled hanging paragraph rather than a tinted panel. |
| columns | array of object { label, align, key, width } | required | The ruled columns, left to right, after the row number. A column with a `key` is filled in from `prefilled`; one without is always blank for a pen. |
| prefilled | array of object | optional | Rows printed with data already in them, before the blank ones. Useful for a roster you tick off. |
| blank_rows | integer | required | How many empty ruled rows to print after the prefilled ones. Numbering runs straight through. |
| row_height | string | optional | Height of a ruled row. 0.42in is the height a biro needs on a clipboard; drop it to 0.32in only when you would rather have the rows than the legibility. |
| stripe | string | optional | Background of every second row. It is off by default and should usually stay off — the sheet has real vertical rules, and zebra banding on top of them is what makes a form look like a screenshot of a spreadsheet. |
| totals | object { quorum_required, eligible } | optional | The four ruled boxes under the table: two to write in on the night, two printed from what you already know. Present the object and they print; leave it out and they do not. |
| certification | object { text, left, right } | optional | Who is certifying that this sheet is what happened. The block is `break-inside: avoid`, so it never arrives on a page of its own. |
| footer | string | optional | |
| privacy | string | optional | A second footer line for whatever your notice has to say about the data collected. |

Example payload
This exact object renders the preview above. It is also what the API echoes back in a validation error, so an agent can repair a payload without a round trip to the docs.
