Define single signature

In this work step, you define the digital individual signatures that the users in a specific authorization group must make.

The individual signatures can then be used as partial steps in a signature strategy that is implemented when you approve a status in the document.
If one individual signature suffices to approve the status for a document, and you do not need a signature strategy, then you do not need to define any individual signatures.

Example

The release of drawings (documents of document type DRAW) must be approved by the engineering/design manager in your company; the release of the descriptions (documents of document type WRD) by the documentation department.

You define the following individual signatures:

• RD with the authorization group Release drawing

• RT with the authorization group Release description

Requirements

Define authorization group

Activities

Define the individual signatures that must be entered to approve your documents.

Further Notes

Individual signatures are also valid in other areas where the digital signature is used. Before you change the existing individual signatures or use them for your own purposes, please check that no conflicts arise with other areas.
