Sign Field Setup

Lucity's Sign Library and Sign Inventory modules include a special field that displays a sample image of the type of sign represented in the record. Because the Sign Library can be customized with an agency's own images, administrators must establish a repository within the agency's document hive for the custom sign images.

Sign Library images are stored on an agency's web server in the following location. These images appear in the Library without the need for additional setup.

Create a folder that will contain your custom sign images.
- This folder is typically called SignLibrary and located within an agency's document hive folder.
Check the Lucity Document Server permissions. (If you placed your SignLibrary folder in your Document Hive, this step may be unnecessary because the document server should already have the required permissions.)
1. Check the permissions on the SignLibrary folder to confirm that the Windows user under whom the Lucity Document Server is running has Read/Write/Modify permission.
2. Check the permissions on the share used to access the SignLibrary folder to confirm that the Windows user under whom the Lucity Document Server is running has Change/Read access.
Open Lucity Web and click the button to open the Admin Portal.
Go to Settings > System Settings.
In the drop-down at the top of the screen, select Documents.
Within the Document settings list, select the Path Where uploaded Sign Library Images are stored and click Edit (bottom left).
Enter the UNC path to your SignLibrary folder.
Click Save. A system message confirms that the path was saved properly.

Create the image and save it as a .jpg file.
Name the .jpg file with the name name of the corresponding MUTCD Code. (ex. R1-1.jpg)
Place the .jpg file in the SignLibrary folder that you configured. (How to set up a Custom Sign Library)
