Forced Signatures - Best Practices

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi,

In our current setup, we use a series of @commands to insert the contents of a local text file into the end of a user’s memo in order to created a signature. The problem is that we need to maintain a file for each user, and also this method provides a knowledgable user the ability to alter his/her sig since the text file is on the local machine.

For management that has very strict guidelines for the sig files, what other solutions have people implemented?

Thanks in advance for your input.

I have a client that did it the following way.

In person document in Public Address Book using the comments field management put the employees signatures.

I modified the mail template to get that field and append the signature during the send process.

Hope this gives you some other ideas on how to do this. It is possible to do this in a few other ways.

I have been trying to get an automatic signature by using the person record in the public NAB. I call in info from the different fields and place it in the body of a modified NTF file. Currently I can only have simply formatted text. I am trying to find a way to add an image, change the font size, color, bold, etc. within the body area.

Another nice thing about this way is users can remove the signature, or add to it if need be because it’s normal text in the body.

I also have a SmartIcon button taken from the LDD Tips area that works nicely. I would really like to combine the functionality of both these solutions though.

I have developed some nice functionality with R4.x that is now broken with R6. What I did was via the profile, let the users populate a signature or allow it to use the info in the NAB. There are a couple of items you need to be aware of, the Foward and the CTRL+M method of creating a new memo don’t use the memo form until after the document has been saved. So you can’t add code to the form. I found a trick around this though … so if you are still looking let me know. My problem is in 6 that the InsertText method puts the cursor back at the beginging of the field instead of after the text it just inserted… why?
