Specifying electronic signatures

SIMATIC BATCH supports the function "Electronic signature" according to the requirements
as regards FDA or 21 CFR Part 11.
The "electronic signatures" function allows you to enter one or more electronic signatures in
the form of dialogs similar to the logon prompts normal in Windows when defined actions are
taken with BATCH objects such as batches, recipes, recipe elements etc.
If an electronic signature is not entered, this prevents the corresponding operator action being
taken.
The entered signature data is saved in the batch history or in the relevant object being
manipulated and is available for subsequent evaluation (logging).
The actions taken with BATCH objects for which the "Electronic signatures" function is
activated can be defined for specific roles (permissions) in the "ESIG" dialog box. The acronym
"ESIG" stands for "Electronic signature".
Requirement
The SIMATIC Logon software verifies the logon data. This means that SIMATIC Logon must
be installed on the BATCH clients.
