Add the signature

In the Signature step, you choose who from the board signs the donation receipts (Zuwendungsbestätigungen) and add that person's signature. A signature is required. It's drawn by hand; uploading an image isn't possible.

Who signs

Choose the person at the top. The chair is suggested. The person must have sole signing authority for the community and consent to their signature being used. They must sign in person, even if someone else is operating the Studio. If a person has already provided a signature, “Signature on file” appears next to them.

Three ways to sign

On a phone

On a computer, this is the suggested way.

1. 1Step 1:
   Click Create QR code.
2. 2Step 2:
   The person scans the code with their phone camera. The code is valid for 30 minutes.
3. 3Step 3:
   On the phone, they sign in the field, confirm their consent and tap Send signature.
4. 4Step 4:
   As soon as the signature appears in the Studio, click Continue.

If the code has expired, create a new one with Create new code. This way isn't available on a tablet or phone. There, you draw directly.

Draw here

1. 1Step 1:
   The person signs in the field with the mouse, a finger or a stylus. You can remove an unsuccessful stroke or start over completely.
2. 2Step 2:
   Tick the box confirming that the person signed in person, has sole signing authority and consents.
3. 3Step 3:
   Click Continue.

By email

1. 1Step 1:
   Check the person's email address or enter it.
2. 2Step 2:
   Click Send link. The person receives an email with a link that's valid for 7 days.
3. 3Step 3:
   They sign via the link and give their consent themselves in the process.

While you wait, you can carry on with Continue. If the signature arrives later, it appears in the overview under Representatives with the note “Newly received”. Then click Apply. Only then does it take effect.

If the signature isn't accepted

The Studio checks every signature. If it's too small or the Studio can't recognise a signature in it, it asks for the signature to be drawn again. One such message reads, for example: “The signature is too small to recognise reliably. Please draw it larger.”

Replace or remove a signature

If a signature is already on file, the step shows “Signature stored”. Sign again replaces it, and Remove deletes it.

Who can do this

Only “Owner” and “Finance” can add the signature, and only once your community has been activated. Only “Owner” and “Admin” can change the email address of a person on the board.
