# Signature Tablets

Set up a supported Topaz signature tablet for capturing signatures during Monolith Chain of Custody workflows.

Monolith supports Topaz signature tablets for capturing electronic signatures during supported workflows such as Chain of Custody.

A signature tablet can be useful when Evidence or Storage Items are physically transferred and your organization wants the person involved in the custody action to sign directly at the workstation.

### Supported Signature Tablet

The currently tested and supported model is:

* **Topaz T-S460-HSB-R Signature Pad**

{% hint style="info" %}
Other Topaz signature pads may work with Monolith but have not been tested and are not currently part of the supported hardware list.
{% endhint %}

### Windows Requirement

Topaz signature tablet integration is currently supported on **Windows** systems.

{% hint style="info" %}
This hardware integration is not currently supported on macOS.
{% endhint %}

### Install Topaz SigWeb

The computer connected to the signature tablet must have **Topaz SigWeb** installed.

SigWeb allows Monolith to communicate with the Topaz signature device and capture the signature from the pad.

Download and install SigWeb from the Topaz website:

[Download Topaz SigWeb](https://topazsystems.com/sdks/sigweb.html)

After installation, connect the signature tablet to the Windows computer and confirm that the device is available before beginning a Monolith signature workflow.

### Using the Signature Tablet in Monolith

When a supported signature field is available during a Monolith workflow:

1. Connect the Topaz signature tablet to the Windows computer.
2. Begin the applicable signature or Chain of Custody action in Monolith.
3. Select the option to capture a signature.
4. Sign using the Topaz tablet.
5. Review and complete the Monolith action.

The captured signature is stored with the applicable Monolith record as part of the completed workflow.

### Other Signature Options

A Topaz signature tablet is not required to capture every signature in Monolith.

Depending on the device and workflow, signatures may also be captured using supported touch-enabled devices or other available Monolith signature options.
