If you have the rights to annotate a document, you can create a stamp. If you have the Manage Stamps privilege, you can also rename and delete public stamps. (Anyone can rename or delete their own personal stamps. Quick stamps cannot be renamed, as they only exist until they are replaced by a new quick stamp.)
- Public stamps: Public stamps are available for use throughout your organization. Any user with sufficient rights to annotate a document will be allowed to use this stamp, and can do so from any computer.
- Personal stamps: Personal stamps are only available to the user who created them. They are saved on the Laserfiche Server and can be used from any computer. They will continue to be available to that user until the user deletes them.
- Quick stamps: Quick stamps are a subset of personal stamps. Like personal stamps, they are only available to the user who created them, but are saved on the Server and available from any computer. A user may only have one quick stamp at a time. Once a quick stamp is created, it can be used until the user creates a new quick stamp. The new quick stamp will then replace the original quick stamp. (In this sense, a quick stamp is like a computer's clipboard: it contains contents that can be reused until new information is saved in that slot, at which point the prior information is overwritten.)
In addition, all three types of stamps can be either image stamps or dynamic text stamps.
- Image stamps: An image stamp consists of a static image that will be applied to the document when the stamp is used. To create an image stamp, you will need to upload a BMP, PNG, GIF, JPG, or TIF image file. Note that the image will be converted to monochrome as a stamp, and so simple images with clean lines and few or no different colors work best.
- Text stamps: Also called "custom stamps," consists of text that will be applied to the document when the stamp is used. Unlike image stamps, which are static, text stamps may include tokens that allow you to apply dynamic information. For instance, a text stamp may include a date token; whenever the stamp is applied, the date token will be replaced by the current date.
