A: If you would like to configure your E-Forms for a signature field (supported in the OnBase Client and Web Client), you must insert some code into your HTML. E-Forms can be configured to accommodate one or more signature fields, and you will need to insert the appropriate syntax for each field.
If you have a single signature: You will need to insert this syntax into your html (placed where you want the signature field to appear):
<IMG height="100" alt="signature" src="\\temp\signature.bmp" width="400" border="0"/>
If you have multiple signatures, your first signature will have the same syntax as above, but subsequent signatures will need to add a numeral in the alt and src tags:
<IMG height="100" alt="2signature" src=\\temp\signature2.bmp width="400" border="0"/>
A common question after we introduce this syntax is: "What is this "temp" directory, and why do I need it?" This temp directory that you see in the src tag is up to you to create - in reality you would want to create a source that is available in a secure network location (or local directory). The temp directory stores the signature image captured by the signature pad until the user submits the E-Form, so it must be accessible to the user logged into Windows at the time they sign the E-Form. Once the form is submitted, the signature image becomes a permanent part of the E-Form and is saved in the OnBase disk groups.
