About this task

When a workplace manager signs a completed task, an e-signature PDF document is generated using a signing template and is attached to the task. For information about signing a workplace task, see Sign a completed workplace task.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Workplace Safety Management > Administration > HTML Signing Templates.
2. Select New or open an existing signing template to edit it.
   The application provides a default template called Task Signing Template.
3. On the form, fill in or modify the fields.

   Table 1. Html Signing Template form

   Field	Description
   Acknowledgment text	Text clarifying the meaning of the signature. For example, "I acknowledge that this information is true".
   Name	Name of the signing template.
   Active	Option for making the template available for use. A template must be active to be used.
   Domain	Domain assigned to the template. Select Global to allow any user who can access templates to view and apply this template.
   Table	Table associated with the template. The selected table determines the available variables in the Select variables field.
   Body	Placeholder for HTML text and variables. The variables are resolved when the PDF is generated.
   Select variables	List of variables that can be used in the body of the template. Variables pull information from the selected table to customize the template.

4. Customize the body of the signing template in the Body field.
   1. Enter and format the text to design the body of the template.

      Use the formatting tools to apply formatting options, such as bold, italic, underline, or font styling.

   2. Insert variables by locating your cursor at the desired location and selecting the variable under Fields.
      For example, to indicate which location to clean, you might insert the text Cleaning finished for the Workplace location: and, after a space, select Workplace location under Select variables. The variable in the Body field text would appear as follows:

      Cleaning finished for the Workplace location: ${workplace_location}

      The variable is replaced with the actual location when the PDF is generated.
5. At the desired location in the Body field, enter the following variables:
   • ${Checklist}: Adds the checklist variable.
   • ${Signature}: Adds the signature variable.

   

   In the signed PDF document, the signature and checklist are embedded at the same location where you entered these variables into the template body.

6. Select Submit.
7. Optional: Review the look of the PDF document by impersonating a workplace manager and signing a closed task.
