Stamps configuration

The Stamps configuration panel allows the definition of stamps that can be used as an overlay in PDF renditions.

Here you first have to set up stamps before you can later assign them to document types (according to chapter Stamping).

The following functions are available:

• adding and deleting stamps

• changing an existing stamp

To add a new stamp

• Click Add Stamp.

• Enter the name of the new stamp and click OK:

  

• The new stamp appears in the bottom of the list.

• Modify stamp parameters (see below for more details).

• Click Save.

To delete a stamp

• Select a stamp to be deleted by clicking the corresponding stamp entry.

• Click Delete stamp and confirm the dialog.

• Click Save.

To change an existing stamp:

• Select an existing stamp by clicking the corresponding entry.

• Depending on the selected stamp type, complete the field values. Mandatory fields are marked by an asterisk (*). The stamp can be:

  • a plain text: custom text that can be configured

    The input field supports the following placeholders:

    • $[username] : the ImageMaster user display name

    • $[userid]: the ImageMaster user identifier

    • $[serverTime]: the current date/time of the environment ImageMaster is running on

    • $[documentIdentifier]: the identifier of the document

    • #: adds a line break

  • an image: an image that can be uploaded from the local machine

    The uploaded image must fit into a page as a stamp. In case it exceeds the defined size, an error message is displayed.

  • a print label: custom text that can be configured including setting a date in configurable format

    The input field supports the following placeholders:

    • $[username] the ImageMaster user display name

    • $[userid] the ImageMaster user identifier

    • $[serverTime] the current date/time of the environment ImageMaster is running on

    • $[browserTime] the current date/time of the user's environment identified via browser

    • $[documentIdentifier] the identifier of the document

    The print label is used as a footer or header only in printouts and appears outside of the actual document content area. The content of the label can be scaled down depending on the font size of the print label text. Only one line of text will appear, so the print label text will be compressed to fit.

  See the table below for detailed field descriptions.

• You can preview the document with the configured stamp by clicking Show Sample Page. A test PDF document with the configured stamp will be displayed. To close the window, click Ok.

  When the configuration settings have been completed, click Save.
