Once you have created and set up your signatures in FCS Express, you may want to display their details and signing status on your layout pages.

 

By default, the signature details and status do not appear on a layout page. However, you can easily display the information about the signatures using signature tokens.

 

A signature token can display the following kinds of information (Figure 16.7):

 

 

To display the signature tokens, you need to first create a text box. Once you have the text box, there are two ways to insert signature tokens into the text box:

 

1. Using the signature table

 

 Right-click in the text box, and select Insert Signature Table. A table will be created inside the text box, as shown below (Figure 16.8).

 

 

 

2. Using individual signature tokens

 

 a.  Right-click in the text box, and select Insert Token. The Insert a Token window will appear (Figure 16.9).

 

         

   

b. In the Insert a Token window, expand the Signature node then select the type of signature information you want to display, and press Insert (in this example we will choose Signature Name) (Figure 16.10). The token editor will appear.

 

         

 

 c.  In the token editor click on the Signature information category to confirm your choice (Figure 16.11).

 

         

 

 Note: You will notice in the Signature information category you have the option to choose any defined signature from the Signature drop down. You can choose which signature token you would like to insert from the Token Type radio buttons. This is useful if you would like to edit or change the token in the layout without deleting and inserting a new token.        

 

 d. Click OK to insert the token. The new signature token will appear in the text box (Figure 16.12).

         

 

As with other tokens, you can change the formatting of individual signature tokens, for instance to mimic a typical signature section on a printed report.
