Introduction

A watermark consists of a text placed in the background, with the intention of labeling an electronic file with information about its origin and characteristics, aiding in the protection of its intellectual property. 

This article will cover the steps to add a watermark configuration, which will later be associated with a document category.

See below the steps to configure a watermark:

Configuring a watermark

1. Access the Configuration > Watermark (DC045) menu.

2. Click on the button.

3. On the screen that will be opened, enter an ID # and a name for the watermark configuration.

4. Click on to save the record.

5. On the left side of the General tab, the system will display all statuses of a document to which the watermark feature is applied, such as "Controlled copy", "Uncontrolled copy", "Cancelled document", and more. Select the status to which the watermark will be applied.

6. Fill out the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right fields in the Margin section with the values that will limit the printing area of the watermark in millimeters. That is, the watermark items will be placed within the limits established in these fields on the page of the file to which they will be applied.
