The SignatureItems element allows you to configure Signature Merges for the documents scanned/created in the Front Office Scanning client.

Signature Merges allow signatures captured from a signature device to be "stamped" onto a document.

Note:

A Signature Merge is not used if a captured signature is to be added as a markup to a document. For more information on adding a signature as a markup to a document, as opposed to stamping it on a document, see Configuring a Document Type Button to Capture a Signature as a Markup from a Signature Device.

The SignatureItems element is composed of one or more SignatureItem sub-elements. Each SignatureItem sub-element represents one captured signature configured for your Front Office Scanning solution.

Each SignatureItem sub-element contains the following settings:

SignatureItem Sub-Element Settings

Description

SignatureID

This setting specifies a unique identification number for the Signature Merge represented by this SignatureItem sub-element. This identification number is known as the signature ID.

Enter a numeric value for the signature ID.

Tip:

It is recommended that the first SignatureItem sub-element have a SignatureID of 1, the second SignatureItem sub-element have a SignatureID of 2, etc.

The signature ID is also assigned to one or more DocType elements. Once the signature ID is assigned to a DocType element, the Signature Merge is configured for that DocType element (i.e.,each time a document is assigned to a Document Type via the Document Type button associated with the DocType element, the captured signature is stamped on the document).

SigOnFile

This setting allows you to specify if the signature being stamped on the document is captured from the signature device or if it is a signature that is stored on disk.

Set the SigOnFile setting to False to capture a signature from the signature device and immediately stamp it on the document.

Set the SigOnFile setting to True to store a signature captured from the signature device on disk so that it can be repeatedly applied to documents without requiring the user to sign the signature device.

By default, this setting is set to False.

Skippable

This setting allows you to skip a particular signature on the document.

Set the Skippable setting to False to force all signatures to be stamped on the document.

Set the Skippable setting to True to enable the Skip Signing button when stamping signatures on the document. Clicking this button allows you to bypass the signature.

By default, this setting is set to False.

Page

This setting allows you to specify which page of the document you would like the signature to be stamped on as part of the Signature Merge.

Enter the page number directly between the Page tags.

Left

This setting allows you to determine the horizontal positioning of the signature stamp on the document.

Enter the distance (in inches) between the left edge of the page and the beginning of the signature stamp directly between the Left tags.

Top

This setting allows you to determine the vertical positioning of the signature stamp on the document.

Enter the distance (in inches) between the top of the page and the top of the signature stamp directly between the Top tags.

Width

This setting allows you to determine the width of the signature stamp once it is added to the page.

Enter (in inches) the width of the signature stamp directly between the Width tags.

Tip:

It is likely that the document has a signature box or signature line that you can easily obtain this measurement from.

Height

This setting allows you to determine the height of the signature stamp once it is added to the page.

Enter (in inches) the height of the signature stamp directly between the Height tags.

Tip:

It is likely that the document has a signature box or signature line that you can easily obtain this measurement from.

In order to use the functionality offered by these settings, additional configuration is required. For more information, see Configuring a Signature Merge.
