Creating a Tag Watermark

Tag watermarks can be created for an existing tag or when configuring a new tag.

To create a tag watermark

  1. Start the Laserfiche Administration Console.  
  2. In the console tree, expand the appropriate Laserfiche Server.
  3. Select your Laserfiche repository.
  4. If security has been enabled on that repository, log in as any user who has been granted the Manage Tags privilege for the specified repository.
  5. Expand the Metadata Management node.
  6. Double-click Tags.
  7. Do one of the following:
    • Right-click on an existing tag you want to add a watermark to and select Properties.
    • From the Action menu, select New Tag to create a new tag, and configure the appropriate information, including name, description, and if you want the tag to be a security or informational tag.
  8. Select the Watermark tab and configure the following:
     
    • In the Watermark text field, enter the text that you want to constitute your watermark.

      Note: Tokens can be used with tag watermark text.

    • Under the Position section, use the Horizontal and Vertical menus to specify where you want your watermark to appear on the page.
    • Under the Rotation section, use the Angle menu to specify the angle (in degrees) at which you want your watermark to be displayed.
    • Under the Size section, use the Percent menu to specify what percentage of the page you want your watermark to span.

      Note: Given that each tag watermark and its position, rotation, and size are configured independently of other tag and group watermarks, it is possible to create multiple watermarks that will overlap when applied at the same time. To avoid this, it is important to consider how the various orientations of your watermarks will interact on the page when configuring your watermarks.

      Note: Creating watermarks with the same position and rotation properties will not cause the watermarks to overlap when applied at the same time; instead, the watermarks will be stacked in a row at the specified orientation. Overlap will only occur when watermarks with different, conflicting positions and rotations are applied at the same time.

      Note:If one or more tag watermarks with the same position configuration are applied to a document, all watermarks will be applied using that position and the rotation/size configuration of the watermark whose name comes first alphabetically. The watermarks will be stacked in a row, in alphabetical order, at that orientation.

      Note: If a group watermark and one or more tag watermarks with the same position configuration are applied to a document, all watermarks will be applied using that position and the group watermark's rotation and size configuration. The watermarks will be stacked in a row, starting with the group watermark, followed by the tag watermarks in alphabetical order.

  9. Use the Preview section to verify your watermark's orientation.
  10. Click OK to create the tag watermark.

To create a tag watermark

  1. Open the web client management page. Sign in as any user who has been granted the Manage Tags privilege for the specified repository.
  2. Select Metadata, then Tags.
  3. Click on the name of an existing tag you want to add a watermark to.
  4. Select the Watermark tab and configure the following:

    • In the Text field, enter the text that you want to constitute your watermark.

      Note: Tokens can be used with tag watermark text.

    • Under the Position section, specify where you want your watermark to appear on the page.
    • Under the Text angle section, choose the angle (in degrees) at which you want your watermark to be displayed.
    • Under the Percent of page spanned section, specify what percentage of the page you want your watermark to span.
    • Under the Opacity section, specify the percentage opacity of your watermark. Higher numbers indicate a darker watermark that is harder to see through.

The watermarks will be stacked in a row, starting with the group watermark, followed by the tag watermarks in alphabetical order.

  5. Verify your watermark's appearance in the Preview section.
