The signature column

You can store a digital signature in a signature column, which is saved as a PNG file in the Base file manager.

How to create a signature column

Create a signature column

  1. Click the [+] symbol to the right of the last column in your table.
  2. Give the column a name in the upper field.
  3. Select the Signature column type from the drop-down menu.

Capture a digital signature

Clicking in any cell of the signature column automatically opens a window with a panel where you can sign with your mouse and - on devices with a touchscreen - with a pen or finger.

Tip
Digital signatures are very well suited for data capture using web forms, for example, to have applications conveniently signed online.

Change a digital signature

If you are not satisfied with your deposited signature and want to sign again, simply click on Sign again. Note that this will overwrite the entire signature you entered. It is not possible to change individual parts of your signature.

However, the original signature remains available in the Base file manager as a PNG file if you have already saved it.

Digital signatures in the file manager

Each stored signature is also saved in the file management of your Base as a PNG file in a system folder.
