Signatures

Signatures let you collect a hand-drawn signature on your mobile device. The signature saves as an image attached to the order or transaction record. You can view it later from the desktop.

Capturing a Signature

When the signature screen opens, you see a blank drawing area. This is the signature canvas. Draw your signature on the canvas using your finger or a stylus.

Two buttons appear below the canvas:

  • Clear - erases what you drew so you can start over
  • Accept - saves the signature and attaches it to the record

The signature saves as a JPEG image (400x200 pixels). It links to the shipping order, delivery, or transaction you were working on.

When Signatures Appear

The signature screen comes up automatically at certain points:

After completing a delivery. When you finish the Deliver Package flow, the signature screen appears before the delivery is marked complete.

During packing operations. If your system has packing enabled (Admin Option 153), a signature may be required when packing is finished.

After certain transactions. Receive and issue transactions can be configured to require a signature on completion.

Testing Signatures

You can test the signature pad at any time from the mobile Settings screen.

  1. Open the mobile app and go to Settings.
  2. Tap Test Signature.
  3. Draw a test signature when the canvas opens.
  4. Tap Accept or Clear to try again.

Use this to confirm the touch input is working before starting a delivery route.

Viewing Signatures on Desktop

Signatures sync to the desktop after they are captured. You can find them in the desktop shipping order screens.

  1. Open the desktop and go to Shipping Orders.
  2. Open the relevant order.
  3. Navigate to the package record.
  4. The saved signature image is available there.

Offline Support

If your device loses connection while capturing signatures, the signatures are saved on the device. They sync automatically when the connection is restored.
