ReporterBase Digital Signature Proxy<\/a> (RB-DSP) is the way to apply reporters\u2019 digital signatures to their RB-PDF Transcripts<\/a>\u00a0through the normal production process while maintaining the integrity of the signature. Before you can apply reporters\u2019 digital signatures to RB-PDF Transcripts, reporters must grant you permission. Invite reporters to sign up for free digital signatures and grant you proxy<\/strong> to use their digital signatures.<\/p>\n For their part, reporters must:<\/p>\n They can then monitor your use of their signature and rescind proxy or cancel their account at any time.<\/p>\n To find the reporter(s) in your RB database you want to invite, use the search criteria, singly or in combination:<\/p>\n In the list of reporters your search returned, you can select one, several, or all to send email invitations to. If you are unable to select a reporter in the list, they either already granted you signature proxy or they do not have an email address in your RB database. You can sort the list in ascending or descending order of any column by clicking the column\u2019s header. And export the list as an Excel<\/em> spreadsheet or\u00a0a CSV (comma-separated values) file to save, share, use in other applications, or print as a report.<\/p>\n Send reporters your standard invitation \u2014 which you set up previously in\u00a0System Preferences<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 or you can customize\u00a0it by editing the contents, writing something different, uploading attachments from your RB repository, selecting a different From address, and\/or including Cc and Bcc addresses.<\/p>\n When you send a reporter an invitation, RB9 records the date the invitation was sent.<\/p>\n You can use this function to see if the reporter(s) you invited to join have granted you proxy yet. Search for reporters by the date or range of dates you sent invitations \u2014 or any of the other search criteria. In the results returned any reporters who have granted you proxy will have a checkmark in the Signature Proxy column so you can see at a glance who has responded and who you need to follow up with.<\/p>\n NOTE: This is an RB9-only function. It is not included in RB Lite.<\/em><\/p>\n TL;DR: Invite reporters to share their digital signatures with you so you can apply them to their RB-PDF Transcripts.<\/strong><\/p>\n RB-PDF Transcript:<\/strong> PDF version of a transcript with built-in transcript-specific features and customization options.
