Hi Roni,

I am not sure about 4.0.

We customized a little regarding this 3.0, for putting e-signature on documents.

In 4.0, we can use Digital signature. But I am not very much sure how…

But if u go to Administration > Setup > Electronic signature. Here u can put the table name on which you want to add signature. Take form “Tutorial_SysSign” as an example.

Try on those form, may be u get some idea…

Hi Manish.

Unfortunately i cant open the Tutorial_SysSign and i dont have anything called Electronic signature on Administration > Setup >

I can’t find any relevant data about implementing the Digital signature in AX at the HELP files, msdn or other web sites :0(

Do u know where can i find documentation about this?

Thank you so much for all the help.

You do not have it as it is not on your license. Talk to your partner and ask for a demonstration, if you are a partner you need a new license from Microsoft with it on!

Hi Roni

It is fairly straight forward to import images into Ax and consume them in forms, reports etc. You can try importing digital signature as an image. For this the field should be set to ‘Bitmap’ EDT. A quick code sample here -

folder = “C:\”;
fileName = “Signature.jpg”

if (BinData.Loadfile(folder + filename)
{
ttsbegin;

. = BinData.getData();
.insert(); ttscommit; }

Please note that the above snippet is just a sample from Ax 3.0

Hi Ronig,

if you want to use digital signature in AX the application data should be stored in the Microsoft SQL data base.

hai roni

What i would suggest is , use the company image idea which we have and upload the signature against that particular user or persons id,

Based on approval or against which the signature has to be printed, capture the user id and call the image of that user and print it in report using bitmap,

it would work fine

Hi Roni,

My Idea is: Store digital signatures in a Bitmap EDT Field of a Table so that you can easily use them in all Forms and Reports easily.

Or esle Directly you are taking the digital signs into ax means you need a license from Microsoft.

Hi Roni,

It seems to me that you didn’t got the solution till now, we can discuss this further now, if can elaborate this further then i can search for a result of this, i didn’t got any solution from the given data.I suggested you before that you should use the SQL database for the Signatures in AX, i really think it will have some thing in it.
