Adding Highlighting

You can fill a signature area with a shade or color of your choosing to enhance the visibility of signature lines in a documents. Filling a signature area, or highlighting, can be applied to both dynamic and static documents. For dynamic documents, this is done by enabling highlighting in a condition and then defining the color of the highlighted area. In a document, the EnableHighlight element is an indicator flag that must be present at the document level of an REQ. The best practice is to set this element within a condition so that it enables at the transaction level. Once set, highlighting is authored in the SignatureSection by adding an attribute, SignatureHighlightColor, to define the color of the highlighted area.

The SignatureHighlightColor attribute defines the color of the highlighted area and allows you to enter a color (for example, yellow), select a color through the standard color palette through the shortcut menu (right-click and select Choose Color), or enter the HEX values (for example, #FFFF00). If the SignatureHighlightColor attribute is not supplied, no highlighting is applied. if the SignatureHighlightColor attribute is supplied, but no color defined, the default color is white and the area appears without highlighting.

Note: A paler shade of each color is also provided, and might be preferable for visual documents. Based on our testing with the colors below, Yellow is the only color that does not appear if the document is photocopied. Remember that colors are dependent on the printer being used and will only appear as color if the printer supports color printing.
