This feature is not turned on by default. Please contact Support via live chat, or kitchen.support@365rm.com to have this feature enabled.

Create New Approver User

The first Approver User must be enabled by Support before other users can be set to Approver. Only a current Approver user or a System Admin can change other users level or create new Approver Users.

  1. Locate the user to become an Approver user in the 365 Kitchen Management system.
     
  2. Set a user to Approver under User Level, to enable signature upload functionality.
     
  3. Upload a signature image in PNG or SVG format if required by business. Ensure the file size does not exceed 2 MB.
     

Approver User Signature

Approver users may upload a signature image that will appear on approved recipes. The Signature upload section becomes visible when the user role is set to Approver. Approver Signatures are used on approved recipe spec sheets and PDF prints.

  • The upload/last update date and time is also shown at the bottom of the upload component.
