The Stamps Page

Go to Settings > Configuration > Stampsin the Navigation menu to open the Stampspage. From here, Admin users are able to create and manage two different kinds of stamps: Standard (image-based) stamps and Custom (template-based) stamps.

Standard Stamps

Standard (image-based) stamps allow Admins to upload an image for others to use when stamping documents. These stamps are named for easy identification and can be configured to display date, project number, and/or user name information on the documents automatically along with the image itself.

Keeping the following in mind for best standard stamp quality:

Recommendation

Reason(s)

  1. Keep stamp names simple.

The name of the uploaded file will be set as the stamp Name automatically, so change the filename as needed before uploading a stamp.

  1. Use the .PNG file format for stamps.

...

Transparent backgrounds makes it easier to view document information behind a stamp once placed.

  1. Minimum image dimensions should be 800 x 800 pixels and 300 dpi.

Stamps can be resized while being placed on a document, so starting with a larger stamp is better.

...

  1. Images that clearly indicate Approval, Conditional Approval, Rejection/Resubmittal, or other

...

  1. concise messages are best.

Stamps with graphics and/or few words are ideal to convey clear and easy-to-read information to customers.

...

For stamps that require significant text, consider creating a custom stamp

instead.

Using Stamps

...

Once a stamp has been added to a user’s profile, it becomes available in the “Select Stamps” window that pops up whenever the user clicks on the Stamp Tool ( (blue star) ) on the review page. Standard and custom stamps will provide different options to the user once they have been placed on a document, however.
