Setting up electronic signatures in modules

Set up a module and select users who can review the data in the module and sign it.

Before you begin

Baseline the module. The data that is included in the baseline is the data that users review and sign.

You can provide signatories with a list of values that they must choose from when they sign the baseline. This list is called the Label Specifier and is populated with the values of an enumerated attribute. To use the Label Specifier with the electronic signature, create an enumerated attribute with the values you want signatories to choose from. You select the enumerated attribute when you set up electronic signatures in the module.
Note: To stop users editing the values that are associated with the label specifier, set access controls on the enumerated attribute type.

About this task

You can set access controls for signatories and for the label specifier.
Access controls for signatories govern who can read signatures, sign baselines and administer the signatures list.
