(RPG) Electronic Signature Capture?

[JohnJoiner]

I don't see any support for electronically capturing signatures and storing them as images. Is this a feature that is being considered as a future enhancement? If so, is there any timeframe for deployment?

Thanks.

Yes. It is being worked on now. Delivery is still a few weeks away.

[JohnJoiner]

Cool. Thanks.

Will this functionality be packaged as a new U/I element, or be a new property/event of an existing U/I element (ex. the Barcode element), or a new operation, or?

JJ

[MarkDuignan]

Most likely a new UI element.

[JohnJoiner]

Makes sense.

I'm looking forward to the update.

Thanks.

Hi,

Is there any update as to when this feature will be available?

Andrew,

From what I gather, as of RV11 there is a new example program - 'Signatures' - under 'Programming Examples->Web View Examples->Advanced Web View Examples', that is supposed to present an "interim" solution to capturing signatures. My understanding is that this interim solution will be replaced with a native U/I element "in the next version". I'm waiting for that.

Your impression is correct. ETA on version with a completely 'native' (ie: no WebView used) signature capability is sometime next week we think. All the work is completed and it is being tested now.

This new feature is not just about signatures – it involves a new range of capabilities to facilitate image annotation (eg: adding annotations to photos, plans, documents, etc).

One of the new Signature usage examples - capture employee specimen signature:

One of the new Photo annotation examples - record damage to company assets:

Thanks Mark.

Looks like just what the doctor ordered!

This feature should be released this week as part of RV12 (run time version 12).
