Is there currently a feature or a requested feature to Capture signature or hand-written notes?

Using the touch capabilities of a phone or tablet or PC, how about a control that will accept input from a stylus or pen or fingernail?

Hi @Anonymous,

Like @bean suggested, you can use pen input control like a whiteboard, drawing diagrams and writing words/signature. It can be collected as image later.

The pen input can be captured as an image. This can be collected in a collection and from that we can store the data to sql table or Blob storage. Below is the code to collect data.

ClearCollect(mySignatures, {id: Max(mySignatures,id) + 1,
Content: PenInput1.Image});
ForAll(
mySignatures,
Patch(
'[dbo].[PAImageLoad]',
Defaults('[dbo].[PAImageLoad]'),
{
imgData: Content,
imgName: Text(id) + ".jpg"
}
)
)

Here sql table is used as data source. The image is stored in the sql database.

What is the correct way to use the Patch function if I want to store the PenInput image into an image field in a Sharepoint List?
My datasource is a Sharepoint List called "bd_casandra".
The image field in the List is called "firma".
The rest of the fields seem correctly linked to the Data Cards generated automatically.

thanks in advance,

Alejandro
