For example, when an auditor needs to sign-off some work, or when an inspector needs to certify the condition of an asset. Survey123 allows you to collect electronic signatures. Users are presented with a box to sign and the signature is saved as an image. Signatures from Survey123 are stored as\u00a0 attachments. You can view them in web map popups, dashboards, and include them in Survey123 reports too!<\/p>\n<p>This update includes some key improvements to signatures in the field app:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More space to sign: In the Survey123 field app, the signature pad now pops up as a new dialog on top of the form. This gives end users more space to sign.<\/li>\n<li>Inbox support: You can view signatures and add new ones to records from the Survey123 inbox. This is great for approval and sign-off workflows.<\/li>\n<li>Control the dimensions of the signature image: As the author of a form, you can now control the dimensions of the signature attachment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To learn all the details, check the <a href=\"https:\/\/community.esri.com\/t5\/arcgis-survey123-blog\/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-signatures\/ba-p\/1117555\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Survey123 Tricks of the Trade: Signatures<\/a> blog post.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 id=\"toc-hId--55212618\">Edit image annotations<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Using Survey123, you can annotate photos, diagrams, and maps.
