[Additional Features](https://support.pantrysoft.com/additional-admin-guides?hsLang=en#additional-features) # Signature Collection (Registrations, Visits) ## PantrySoft includes functionality for collecting signatures — on either the Visit or Registration screens. ### Definition You can set up PantrySoft Visits and Registration screens with a dedicated **Signature Collection Widget** or alternatively one or more "Signature" type custom questions (see [Custom Question Creation](https://support.pantrysoft.com/custom-question-creation?hsLang=en)). *You have two hardware choices for collecting these signatures during a Visit or a Registration:* - **Touchscreen/ Mouse Signing**. Invite customers to use a touchscreen or the mouse directly in the signature field. - **Topaz Device.** Invite customer to sign on a dedicated *Topaz* signature device purchased from the Topaz website --- **Activating Touchpad/ Mouse Signing:** We are excited to announce that we have recently introduced touchscreen/mouse signatures that requires *no additional hardware or extensions*! If you already use the Topaz signature pad and would like to switch to the mouse/ touchpad method instead, simply remove the Topaz extension from your browser. ### Adding Signature Collection to Visits and/or Registrations For both Visits and Registrations, PantrySoft has two different kinds of signature collection: #### Signature Footer/ Dedicated Widget. *PantrySoft reserves a dedicated, full-page-width signature space at the bottom of every Registration and Visit screen.* - **Registrations**: In **Setup-\> Registration Settings**, activate the signature widget: (***Show Signature on Dashboard Registration)***. - OPTION: add the agreement language in those same settings: (***Registration Agreement Text***) - OPTION: make the signature required: (**Signature on Dashboard Registration Required)** - **Visits**: In **Setup-\> Visit Settings**, activate the signature widget: (***Show Signature on Visit)***. - OPTION: add the agreement language in those same settings: (***Visit Agreement Text***) - OPTION: make the signature required: (***Signature on Visit Required*)** #### **Custom Registration "Signature" Question**. *PantrySoft Custom Questions can also collect signatures. You can add as many of these signature questions as you'd like the Custom Question area in a* Visit *or a* Registration*.* - **Registrations**: In **Setup-\> Registration Questions**, add a *signature* type of custom question to the Registration screens (see *signature* type questions under [Custom Question Creation](https://support.pantrysoft.com/custom-question-creation?hsLang=en)). - **Visits**: In **Setup-\> Visit Questions**, add a *signature* type of custom question to the Visit screens (again, see *signature* type questions under [Custom Question Creation](https://support.pantrysoft.com/custom-question-creation?hsLang=en)). ### *Topaz*  Signature Pad Overview For those pantries who wish to use a dedicated signature pad *device* to collect signatures, PantrySoft offers integration with the Topaz brand signature pads. *To set up either a Registration or a Visit with signature collection, perform the following steps as necessary:* 1. Purchase a Topaz pad. 2. Download the three drivers / software mentioned in Hardware Installation. 3. Turn on Visit and/or Registration signature settings inside PantrySoft. 4. Plug the Topaz pad into your device and let your device finalize installation (i.e., "plug and play") #### Hardware Purchase Choose from among Topaz' signature pads. Purchase page is here: **[https://www.topazsystems.com/signaturepads.html](https://www.topazsystems.com/signaturepads.html)** #### Hardware Installation PantrySoft uses TOPAZ drivers to interface with signature pad devices. Find the hardware for sale [here](https://topazsystems.com/signaturepads.html) and select any one of them. Once you've purchased and received your hardware, you'll need to do the following **three things**: - Download and install the **hardware drivers**. - Download and install the **app**. - Download and install the **browser extension**. *Perform the following steps to set up the signature pad hardware:* 1. Acquire the TOPAZ-compatible signature pad devices you'll need. 2.

If the field has not been required, staff are free to ignore this field, saving and exiting as normal.  *Perform the following steps to attach a signature to a visit:* 1. **Click Sign.**  A special TOPAZ pop-up will appear containing a field that displays the signature as it is signed. 2. **Confirm Topaz pop-up.** Wait for the bottom of the TOPAZ pop-up to display: "Pad initialized, start signing." 3. **Invite the client to sign.**  Note: the pad does not have a "done" button. 4. **Click OK when done.** Click the green check symbol at the top of the pop-up when the client is done signing. A signature will appear in the Signature Scan area of the Visit pop-up. 5. **Save and Exit.** Click Save and Exit #### Running *Registrations* with Topaz Signatures The procedure for running Registration signatures is identical to running visits with signatures (above). -
