How To Add a Default Signature

Overview

Users may add a default signature to TraCS so that they don't have to add it on each new form.

Once a default signature is added, it will show on citations, warnings, tow forms, and any other form that has a field for the officer's signature.

All users may add their own ink or tablet signature.

Agency administrators may add a signature image to a user's profile.

How to Add an Ink or Tablet Signature

1. From the Forms Manager, go to the Tools tab and then User Preferences.

2. Choose Edit Signature.   On the next screen choose Ink Signature and then press Sign.

3. Add your signature using your mouse, or if you have a touch screen, add it using your finger.

4. Press Accept.   Press Accept again to exit out of the Signature screen.

Your signature will automatically appear on new forms that are created.   It will not populate on old forms.

If you would like to change your signature, press Clear on either Signature screen and follow steps 3 and 4 again.

If your agency uses a Topaz Signature Pad and it is configured for TraCS, first make sure the pad is plugged in or paired.   Choose Tablet Signature from the list, sign on the pad, and Accept.

How to Add a Signature Image

If you have your signature saved in an image file, it may be added to your profile by an agency administrator or a member of the TraCS team.   It cannot be done at a user level.

Administrators for hosted agencies may add the image(s) via the TraCS Web Portal or the Configuration Manager.

Administrators for non-hosted agencies may add the image(s) via the Configuration Manager.
