ABSTRACT:
A system for adding an electronic signature chosen from a plurality of available electronic signatures to a report associated with an image file associates an electronic signature with a user of the system. When the user wishes to apply the electronic signature to the image file, or to a report associated with the image file, the user instructs the system to apply the electronic signature. The system can query the user of the system to determine whether the user is the individual that is currently logged on to the system. If the user is currently logged on, the system will apply that individual's electronic signature to the report associated with the image file. If the user is not the individual that is currently logged on, the system presents to the user a selection of electronic signatures, from which the user chooses the signature that identifies them as the user.
