Using Electronic Signatures
Using Electronic Signatures is intended for application developers, process control engineers, and Plant Applications users who want to incorporate electronic signatures and secure electronic records (security audit trails) into their operations. This manual provides application developers with suggestions for integrating the electronic signature feature in Plant Applications and instructs engineers and operators on how to sign for actions.
This manual also addresses the needs of users, operators, and supervisors responsible for creating a secure, auditable environment, especially those who must comply with the 21 CFR Part 11 United States FDA government regulation. Refer to Introduction to Electronic Signatures.
