ViewSign Desktop Advanced Guide Options Menu

Options Menu

By choosing File > Options the following window will appear with 14 configuration sections available.

After any change in user options, the "Apply" button is enabled and you will need to click it and then click OK to confirm the changes. Options are saved in an .ini file in the path:

C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\Namirial\ViewSign Desktop 1\settings.ini 

where [USER] represents the current Windows user profile. There isn't a function that allows you to automatically replicate the options for all of the available user profiles on your PC.

Changing one or more options across the various functions available provides a customized software configuration for your specific needs, saved in your user profile on the PC.

General Application

The application’s General section consists of three groups of options:

• User Interface Options
• Opening Dossiers
• SDK Info

User Interface Options

This group allows you to enable the history of saved files, as well as the overall theme and language settings of the application.

Latest dossier used list:
When selected this check box allows you to store a list of the last "N" opened dossiers. The number "N" is a user defined number that is entered in the Next box by the user. In the example it is set to 100.

Clear History dossier:
This button deletes all the items described in the preceding paragraph.

Color scheme:
Allows you to customize the combination of menu color and the initial screen of the program. Three options are available: Light gray, White, Dark gray.

Language:
Sets the language of the menu items, labels, buttons, and user messages.

Opening Dossiers

This group specifies the program's startup options.

Open dossier in the same window:
ViewSign Desktop cannot run more than one session/instance at a time. You must close an existing session in order to start a new instance of the application.

Reopen the last open dossier at program startup:
This checkbox, if checked, allows you to re-open the last file saved in your history list when you start the program.

SDK Info

In this group you can read the SDK version of signature. The differences between the various versions can be read in the "ChangeLog" section of online help.

With this button user can delete any saved user settings and restore the software default values.

Device Manager

The Device Management section allows you to specify which device to use for graphometric signing and other document signing options.

Graphometric Signature Devices

The signing devices are divided into three main categories: eSignature Pads, Tablet PC’s with integrated digitizers and external tablets that can also be used as an External Monitor (Signature Display).

• Signature Pad

If you choose this option, the signature will be captured and displayed on a Signature Pad connected to a USB port on your PC. These tablets aren't additional monitor so you cannot see the entire document in the tablet display, but only the signature area. The checkbox "Enable document control on external digitizer" will show a series of buttons on the signature pad that allow browsing the document directly from the signature pad.

• Table PC (with integrated digitizer)

This option applies to all Tablet PC devices with built-in digitizer that have been certified by Namirial SPA. The list of these devices is available here . If you use ViewSign Desktop with one of these tablets you can choose this option, so the capture window of signature will be shown directly on the Tablet PC screen.

• External Monitor (Signature Display)

You can specify from many certified devices that can be used as a combination external monitor and signature capture device.
