A free-form text field for remarks about the communication. Users with edit rights can modify this field.

Indicates that the communication is a voter response, the entry of which updated the last-activity date in the voter record. The main purpose of the field is to give you a way to make a communication a voter response when it was not originally designated as such. You would normally not want to clear this field, although once the last-activity date has been updated, clearing the field has no effect.

A clip code is a pixel point on an image—defined as a horizontal (X) and a vertical (Y) position—that designates the position of the upper-left corner of the signature clip. Voter Focus calculates the location of the entire signature clip by using the clip code as a starting point.

If you want to re-capture a signature, see the instructions in Signature, below.

A display-only field that shows the coordinates of the signature clip on the scanned image if the original clip has been re-captured by the user. The pair of numbers designated by P1 indicates the pixel location of the upper-left corner of the signature clip. The P2 pair indicates the lower-right corner of the clip.

This field displays a signature clip captured from the scanned image. You must have edit rights to modify this field.

If the clip does not display the signature properly, you can re-clip it. First, click the display of the scanned image in the lower-left corner of the dialog to display a large view of the image in the Image Viewer dialog. On this image, click and drag the mouse to create a box enclosing the signature. Release the mouse to see the clipped area below the full image. Click Save Sig Posn to save the new signature clip.

Appears only when the communication includes a scanned image. To see a larger version of the image (in the Image Viewer), click inside the box. In the Image Viewer, you can reclip the signature, if needed.
