Users can store their signatures in order to use them to sign documents at a later time. Storing users' signatures allows them to sign documents without having to sign manually. The number of user signatures that can be configured for the user depends upon the number of Signature Types. See Creating Signature Types for more information.
To store a user signature:
-
From the Signature Configuration tab, click the User Signatures button. The User Signatures window is displayed.
- Select the appropriate User Group from the drop-down list in the Users pane.
- Select the appropriate user from the Username list.
-
Select the Signature Type to configure from the Signature Types list. The available Signature Types depends on previous configuration. See Creating Signature Types for more information.
By default, there are two Signature Types available: Full Signature and Initials.
The New Signature field is displayed in the Signature pane.
In addition, if there is already a signature saved for this Signature Type, the Current Signature field is displayed, showing the stored signature.
-
