Creating a Stamp and Making Settings
Use

If you have not activated a layer, and you want to create a new layer, assign a name.
The redlining function bar is displayed.

Datasets for Stamp Settings
You can determine the layout for the stamp in the following datasets:
Extras, Size, Background
, and
Font.
If you create a stamp on the
Administration
tab page, you already make a few of the settings that are used here, such as
Background
and
Font.
Copy Initial Setting from the Definition of a Stamp
If you want to copy the initial settings for a stamp, select the stamp in the favorites list.
Choose
Default Values.
The settings for the layout are copied.If necessary, you can change these settings for the current processing situation.
Stamping Additional Data
You can also integrate additional data from the document info record into the stamp. Or you can stamp the document number or the status of the document info record onto the original application file.
This option to extend can be implemented using the Business Add-In DOCUMENT_
ECL01 (Exit for EAI Viewer in DMS).
Using this BAdI it is possible to select both the additional data and the document. For example, you can control it in such a way to make the document number and status be stamped only on document part 001.
Carry Out Administration
Maintain
Stamp
and
Stamp Category
on the
Administration
tab page.
Stamp
If you create a stamp, enter the content (
Stamp Text
), the
Stamp Category
, as well as default values for the
Layout.
For example, you decide whether the user name, the date, and the time is to be stamped.
Some settings for the stamp also serve as
Default Values.
They can be copied when you set the stamp using the
Default Values
function (such as background, font, and date). You can change all default values before using the stamp.
You then need to transfer the stamps that you create here into the favorites list.
Stamp Category
The stamp category serves as an organizational criterion for the application area. For example, stamps for the engineering area contain different information to stamps for the production or plant maintenance areas. The stamp category is an important criterion for authorization assignment.
Enter a short text if you create a stamp category.
Result
You can transfer the stamp into the favorites list on the
Favorites
tab page, and then stamp an original application file.
