Signature
The Signature ViewTemplate allows users to draw and store a handwritten signature using a pointing device (such as a mouse or touchscreen). The resulting image is automatically assigned to a defined EntityField.
Functional Overview
- Users can draw a signature directly in the client.
- If required, the input can be deleted via the cross icon in the upper right corner of the input area.
- The drawn signature is saved as an image.
- This image is stored in an
EntityFieldspecified in the ViewTemplate configuration.
Configuration
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
imageField | The EntityField in which the generated image (signature) will be stored. |
The imageField must support binary data (typically an image format such as PNG).
The signature data is stored as image content in the database. Ensure that the target field is configured to accept image input and is of a suitable type.
Use Case Example
This ViewTemplate is typically used for confirming:
- Service visit completion
- Delivery acknowledgment
- Customer approvals
It can, e.g., be included in an EditView where signatures are required for process finalization.
Technical Note
The generated image is stored in the EntityField in base64-encoded format.
This field can later be referenced in a report or document for print/export purposes.
Use together with a Report ViewTemplate to embed collected signatures into PDFs.
