Uploading and Using Your Physical Signature

As a clinician using SigmaMD, you have the flexibility to personalize your PDFs with your signature. Here's a simple guide on how to add your signature to your referrals.

Step 1: Accessing Your Profile

To begin, access your profile screen:

Hover over the left of the screen to open the side menu.
Click Personal Settings. It opens on Profile.

Step 2: Adding Your Signature

On the right side of the screen, find the Signature card. It opens on Draw; to use an image file instead, open that menu and choose Upload image.

Draw: draw your signature in the box and click Save.
Upload image: click Upload file or drop the file onto the card. It must be a JPG, JPEG or PNG, at least 200 x 200 px and no larger than 5 MB. The signature saves as soon as the file is accepted.

For best results with an image, use a horizontal signature written in pen on plain white paper, scanned and cropped to the signature.

Once saved, the card shows your signature and a Signature added successfully. message appears — Signature saved successfully. when you're replacing one. Click the Change icon to replace it, or the Delete icon to remove it. Deleting asks you to confirm and can't be undone — you can draw or upload a new signature at any time.

Step 3: Using Your Signature

Once saved, your signature can be used on referrals and on annotations you add to PDF files.

To use it in a referral:

Start a new referral from the Patient Chart screen.

The referral opens as the full-page Create Referral. Add Signature sits at the end of the Cover Page card, the first card, with a preview of the selected signature. Choose Signature image to use the signature you saved — the other options are Digital signature and Print and sign. Signature image is only available when you have a signature saved in Personal Settings; without one, the referral falls back to Digital signature. All three options are greyed out when Add cover page is cleared.

Complete the referral details and click Generate file. The PDF opens on the same page, so you can verify the selected signature before printing or faxing.

Your signature is now ready to use in your workflow!
