Enabling Real Signature for Maximo Anywhere mobile apps
Real Signature is a platform-level feature for the Maximo Anywhere mobile apps that enables users to record images of signatures that are related to work orders or items. Signatures are stored with related work order or item data, and a signature can be accessed from the related work order or item details page.
About this task
By default, Real Signature is enabled for the IBM Maximo Anywhere Work
Execution and IBM Maximo Anywhere Inspection mobile apps. Real Signature must be manually enabled for all other apps.
The following options are available for how Real Signature is viewed in the apps:
Dialog view
When dialog view is enabled, and you access Real Signature in an app, the window for recording signatures appears as a popup window over the main screen.
Signature view
When signature view is enabled, and you access Real Signature in an app,
the window for recording signatures replaces the main screen.
You enable each view by using the following platform-level handlers:
v
To enable in the dialog view, use the launchSignatureDialog handler, which is function(eventContext, callback, callbackParam).
v
To enable in the signature view, use the launchSignatureView handler, which is function(eventContext, callback, callbackParam).
The following parameters are used in both handlers:
eventContext
The context of the UI. The context can be associated with different kinds of items, including a menu item, button, or image.
callback
The function that you want to call when the signature is saved.
callbackParam
The parameters that you want to pass when the signature is saved.
You can also customize Real Signature to enable specific business processes. To enable these customizations, use the _setBusinessContext handler, which is function(customDescription).
For example, by including the handler, you can specify that signatures are taken when items are issued to Jim, a specific user. The specified context is automatically

added to the attachment description of a signature that is recorded in that context.
For example, when Jim accepts an issued item, his signature is recorded and the attachment description is Signature is taken when an item is issued to Jim.
