Using Stamps
Kahua’s markup tool can apply stamps. Stamps must be enabled and configured by your company Kahua administrator. Once the stamps are enabled, users can apply them when utilizing markups. There are two types of stamps that can be used, Dynamic and Simple.
Dynamic stamps capture certain information at the time that the stamp is applied, such as the date, user or user company, project data, submittal data and so on. The information that each dynamic stamp will capture is managed by your administrator. Simple stamps do not capture any additional information and behave like any other markup applied to the drawing.
Once stamps have been set up, a user with the appropriate permissions can apply a stamp to a document in markup mode. A set of stamp images you can download and use are available here.
If you do not see the Stamp tool on the markup toolbar, it could be for one of three reasons:
-
Stamps have not been defined for your project.
-
Stamps have not been enabled for your project.
-
You do not have the appropriate permissions to apply any of the stamps.
Important If the stamp applied is a Dynamic stamp, it will populate the configured metadata to the stamp at the time it is applied. If the stamp has been configured with Lock Modifications set to “Locked” (the default), the stamp will now be locked in place on the document and only an Administrator can remove it.

For information on setting up stamps, refer to Stamps.
Note Users who are not domain administrators can be granted the ability to administer stamps by assignment to a group that includes the Stamp Configuration Administrator permission in the Configuration permissions (Groups application > Permissions tab > Configuration section). For more information, refer to Manage permissions for a group.
