# The place

> Define signature fields, input areas, and auto-filled values in Power Automate workflows

**Places** are designated areas within a document where a recipient either provides input, such as a signature, or where a constant or calculated value is added, like a completion date.

To define a place, you need to specify both a [place object](#place-objects) and a [position](#place-positioning), either by using a [placeholder](#placeholders) within the document or by setting [fixed positions](#fixed-positions) with coordinates.

<Tip>If you want to generate a document using a template and dynamic data before any recipient signs, use [Document Templates](/docs/integrations/power-automate/documents/templates) instead</Tip>

Places are defined in the `places` array within the document object. Each element in the array represents a place within the document.
The properties of each place depend on its type. For example, a [signature](#signature-place) place will include information about the recipient expected to sign, while a date place, such as [envelope completed date](#envelope-completed-date), can specify the format for the date-time string.
