Configure the Signature Preference for a User

Use the following steps to configure the Signature for the user that is currently logged in to ChartMaker Clinical.

 

 

  1. Click Edit > Preferences.
     

  2. Click the General tab.
     

  3. Click the Signature Edit button.



     

  4. In the Select/Edit Signature to Use dialog, click the radio button next to the Signature you want to use, and then you can add or modify a free-text signature, or you can add or delete an electronic signature.
     

  5. To add or modify a free-text signature, click in the corresponding field to the left and enter or modify the Signature Text. Once the applicable text has been entered or modified, you can skip to step 9.



     

  6. To add an electronic signature, click the Click To Sign field and an Electronic Signature Capture dialog will appear.

    NOTE: To add an electronic signature, you need a supported Topaz Signature Pad connected. If a supported Topaz Signature Pad is not connected, then the electronic signature feature will not be available and a No Device Connected message will appear.


     

  7. Once the Electronic Signature Capture dialog appears, you can provide a signature using the Topaz Signature Pad and the signature will appear in the dialog. If the signature appears as desired, click the OK button. If the signature does not appear as desired, click the Clear button. Once the signature has been cleared, you can provide another signature. Click the Cancel button to exit the Electronic Signature Capture dialog without saving the signature.



     

  8. Once the OK button has been clicked, the electronic signature will replace the Click to Sign in the Select/Edit Signature to Use dialog. To delete this signature, click the Delete Signature button.
     

  9. Check the Append date and time to signature option if you want the date and time to appear after the signature name when a chart note is signed.
     

  10. When finished, click the OK button.
     

  11. In the Preferences dialog, click the OK button.
