Adding a Signature on the AFS (Desktop)
What it is: A way to insert a signature image onto a specific report inside the Annual Financial Statements, for example on the Directors' Report or the Auditor's Report.
What it's for
Some reports within the Annual Financial Statements need to carry a physical or scanned signature — typically a partner's or director's signature — before the document is issued. This feature lets you place a signature image precisely where it is needed on any individual report page. If you need directors to sign electronically rather than using a pre-scanned image, see Digisign (Desktop) instead.
How to do it
Inserting a signature image (DX172)
- Open the report you want to add a signature to.
- Go to Design in that report's toolbar.
- Select Image from the design options.
- Browse to the location of your signature image file, select it, and click Open. The image will appear at the top of the report.
- Click on the image and drag it to the correct position on the page (e.g. next to a signature line).
- To rotate the image, select Rotate 90. To resize it, drag the edges of the image inward or outward.
- To remove the image later, select it and press Backspace on your keyboard, then confirm by selecting Yes.
