Introduction

This is the mechanism by which staff may graphically sign forms submitted from the portal by patients. If you want to simply edit your ‘Signature On File’ you can go in through the Portal Dashboard and do that. Otherwise the signature dialog will appear and you can do these steps whenever you click the 'X' to sign a document in a portal audit.

Conclusion

The Portal Dashboard’s ‘Signature on File’ function can only be applied to portal templates that are written to require a graphical signature. However, once a template document is signed the signature will appear on it when it’s moved to other parts of the Patient’s Documents repository.
