With custom signature rendering layout configuration (stamp imprint configuration), an organization administrator can define how the stamp imprint on the signature image looks like (e.g. fonts, elements, layout etc). The new functionality allows to set organization wide background images (e.g. company logos) or define specific fonts for text added to the stamp imprint. While it has no impact on the legal levels of signatures (in EU, defined by eIDAS), a customer specific stamp imprint representation can create higher subjective trust and contract awareness of your customers.

Preconditions

If the feature is activated for your organization you can find the setting in the organization settings. Please see the next figure:

In the section "Signature Appearance" section (in older versions it was called "Custom Signature Rendering Configuration"), you can find the following settings:

• Upload your configuration
• Reset the signature rendering to default
• You can download the current configuration
• You can download the default template

How to configure your own Signature Appearance

If you download the default template (SignatureRenderingLayouts.custom.xml) you will see the following configuration:
