Question:
How to create a symbol stamp without using a bitmap?
Answer:
To create a stamp which uses an Unicode symbol, please follow these steps:
- Open the DocuWare Administration.
- Create a new stamp and set the type to text stamp.
- On the "General Stamp Design" page, configure the stamp as desired.
- On the "Stamp Design Text Stamp" page, add the desired Unicode symbol into the text box, for example a check mark (✓, U+2713):
- Choose a desired font, style and size.
- Complete the remaining dialog pages as usual.
Starting with DocuWare 6.6, we also recommend setting the following options:
- Store stamp: By user action
- Keep stamp active: Yes
These options allow you to quickly place multiple symbols on a document.
In addition to checkmarks, you can use a huge variety of Unicode symbols, including the ones below:
| Symbol | Name | Codepoint |
|---|---|---|
| ✓ | CHECK MARK | U+2713 |
| ✔ | HEAVY CHECK MARK | U+2714 |
| ☑ | BALLOT BOX WITH CHECK | U+2611 |
| ✗ | BALLOT X (cross) | U+2717 |
| ✘ | HEAVY BALLOT X (bold cross) | U+2718 |
| ☐ | BALLOT BOX (checkbox) | U+2610 |
| ☒ | BALLOT BOX WITH X (square with cross) | U+2612 |
| × | MULTIPLICATION SIGN | U+00D7 |
| ✖ | HEAVY MULTIPLICATION X | U+2716 |
| ◯ | LARGE CIRCLE | U+25EF |
| ← | LEFTWARDS ARROW | U+2190 |
| ↑ | UPWARDS ARROW | U+2191 |
| → | RIGHTWARDS ARROW | U+2192 |
| ↓ | DOWNWARDS ARROW | U+2193 |
