Introduction

SoftExpert Document allows for using watermarks in the electronic files of documents for greater protection of intellectual property, labeling them with origin and characteristic information.  

It is also possible to apply the watermark to electronic files being revised via Workflow. To do so, it will be necessary to define the watermark that will be applied to the status of the workflow revision activity and associate the status with a defined watermark with the revision process activity.

See how to perform these operations below:

Defining the watermark that will be applied to the status of the revision activity via workflow

1. Access the File > Automation > Status (PM044) menu.

2. On the creation screen, select the desired status and click on the button.

3. In the Control tab, go to the Watermark status option.

4. Select a status in the Enable column. Thus, the configurations will be applied to the status chosen for the activity.

5. Click on the button to save the changes.

Associating the status with a defined watermark with the revision process activity

1. Access the File > Process (PM022) menu.

2. Select the desired process and click on the button on the toolbar.

3. In the flowchart, select the revision process activity that, under execution, will display a watermark in the electronic file.
