Add and edit Paradigm File Attachments whose purpose is a signature image file to be used for a provider or contact record.

...

The file attachment page contains 6 fields that are commonly used for the provider or contact record. This article is solely file attachments related to the signatories for official documents such as the testamur, transcript, AHEGS. The file attachment details can be used across many templates, and each template that is to use these details, will require that a support request be raised, to authorise Silverband to update the template to use the new details.

The Purpose dropdown field should be set as Signature.

The Name field in this case, should be set as Signature since the attachment relates to the signature that will appear on the templates. This name is how we refer to the file attachment record. 'Signature' is case sensitive including the uppercase S.

The Category field can also be used if its dropdown box has been populated with options.

The Description field should can be configured for your site to contain the name of the current Registrar or Dean and that name will appear on the templates. Immediately on the next line in the Description field under the name, you can add the official position title of the person whose signature will appear on the templates. Note that the position title will also appear whenever the Description field of the file attachment record is used on the template. If the Description field is not being used by your site in this way, the field can be used as a description of the file attachment.

The Status field should be set as Published.

  7. The Status field should be set as Published.

  8. The Permission Level field should be set to the lowest permission level that is to be allowed access to read or open the file, such as Staff. It is recommended not to set it to the Student level for security reasons.

  9. It is not necessary to upload an image file in the file attachment record, but the file should contain the image of the signature of the person who represents the provider, and the image should be set to have a transparent background. The transparent background allows for the signature to appear superimposed on the template without obscuring any part of any background image that is also printed. Note that an image file that has a low resolution will appear blurry when the image size is increased on a template, and for this reason we recommend attaching an image file consisting of a high resolution image.

  10. Click the Browse button and select the file from your local computer that contains the image.

  11. When the details above have been completed, click the Save File Attachment button.

  12. Once these details have been added, you are then able to update these details as you please, and the new details will be immediately updated across all report and letter templates that are currently configured to use them.
