Before you start

Understand the purpose of an administrator signature and autograph:

An administrator signature can be thought of as an email signature. It is text to be used repeatedly to identify the administrator who created the document. Some suggested details to be included are name, position, and any other identifying information that is desired.

 This text can then be used in templates by using the content marker: %administrator-signature% 
```
Administrator autograph – In addition to this signature, there is also the option of uploading an image of an actual signature (autograph). The dimensions of your autograph are up to the user to determine for themselves according to preference, but a good rule of thumb is that the height dimension should be around 60 pixels. Depending on the signature, the length could vary. Therefore, when resizing the image before uploading, first determine what height is desired and then proportionally adjust the width.

 This image can be inserted into a template by using the content marker %administrator-autograph%
