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.

Signature


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 EntityField specified in the ViewTemplate configuration.

Configuration

PropertyDescription
imageFieldThe EntityField in which the generated image (signature) will be stored.

The imageField must support binary data (typically an image format such as PNG).

note

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.

tip

Use together with a Report ViewTemplate to embed collected signatures into PDFs.
