## Overview

This document details how to add a signature to a user’s settings in CMPOnline. This process allows a document to automatically generate the user or the responsible attorney's signature without need for editing after generation. 

Please keep in mind that this is different from creating a signature used in enhanced email automation. For more information on this, view our [Adding an Enhanced Email Signature help file](https://casemasterpro.com/help-documentation/adding-an-enhanced-email-signature/).

## **Adding the Signature to the User**
