Create Signature – Exclaimer Knowledge Base

Description

Exclaimer Cloud offers you the most comprehensive library for signature templates. These templates are created by signature design experts and are designed using technology built by Exclaimer, allowing you to create high-end signatures.

Start from a blank canvas.

Creating a new signature from a pre-defined template

To create a new signature from a pre-defined template:

The Create New window consists of all the pre-defined templates organized into categories.
From the pre-defined list of templates, select the template you want.
The selected template is added to the canvas of the Signature Designer.
You can create customized signatures from the Signature Designer to suit your organization's requirements.

Example:

Creating a new signature from a blank canvas

To create a new signature from a blank canvas:

1. From the Create New window, click CREATE BLANK SIGNATURE.
  
  The Table Shape window is displayed.
  
  When designing a signature layout, it is often useful to work within a table with columns and rows representing the required signature shape.
2. If you want to base your signature on one of the pre-defined table layouts, then select the required table layout and click Yes.
  
  If you don't want to base your signature on a pre-defined table layout and prefer to work without a table, then click No. You can add different signature elements directly onto the canvas rather than on a table.
3. The selected table layout is added to the canvas.
4. Click to edit the signature name.
5. Click SAVE CHANGES to save the signature and make it available in the All Signatures tab, else click CANCEL CHANGES to cancel any changes made.

Next Steps: Once you have created a signature, you can start designing it by dragging and dropping the various signature elements available and defining their properties to suit your organization's needs.

When you work in the Exclaimer Signature Designer, you will see several colored lines when designing your signature template - each line represents borders, and each border represents a specific signature element. For more information, see Colored borders in Exclaimer Cloud Signature Designer.
