Administrators can use this screen to create new or modify existing stamp templates. These stamps are available to users with Stamp permissions for use as stamp markups or for performing Batch Stamping.
It is recommended that you edit the stamp template via the UI rather than coding. The latter option is for those who are comfortable with coding. One of the advantages of the UI is the ability to copy a stamp template by copying the XML from one server to another, i.e. from your test server to production.Two types of stamps can be used with batch stamp templates.
Raster stamps
Raster images (JPG or PNG files) are created in an image editor for use with Brava's Insert Raster Image Markup tool. The raster images can be inserted when administrators or users are creating stamp templates to be used with ProjectDox Batch Stamp feature. Please see the Brava Online help for information on how to create stamp templates in Brava.
The following special considerations apply to the use and behavior of raster images used with Batch Stamping.
The image should be created at the desired size and offset. ProjectDox will not scale the image. If the image is created at 2 inches by 2 inches, it will be placed at that size whether on a 36” X 48” sheet or an 8.5” X 11” sheet.
Once created, the raster stamps must be loaded to the server in a location available to the Job Processor.
Dynamic stamps
Are stored in the database and use tokens as placeholders for dynamic information such as the project name or current date, as well as static text or graphics to be stamped (displayed) on the resulting file. During the stamping process, the token is replaced with the applicable information. Any user with "Stamp" permissions can create a dynamic stamp through the Brava viewer's Stamp Template feature.
The following list shows all the replacement tokens that can be used with Dynamic Stamp:

When a new or existing stamp template is open for edit, the Save Markup menu items are disabled. In addition, the following markup tools are not available and cannot be used when creating stamp templates: Changemarks, redaction tools, Place Stamp, hyperlink, and edit text tools.
A group of entities must be created on the first page of the file to be saved as a stamp template.
After saving a template that contains dynamic tokens, you should verify that the template works as expected by opening a file in the Viewer and creating a new markup layer that includes the stamp to be tested.
