Specify Signature Method for Approval Using Simple Signature

When maintaining PI sheets, you can use signatures for the following:

• To sign a process step or the entire PI sheet

• To sign a deviation and thus confirm an input value that is outside the specified value range

If only one signature is required, you define the signature method in this activity. The signature method applies to all control recipe destinations to which you have not assigned a signature strategy.

For control recipes with a signature strategy, the signature method specified in the signature strategy applies.

Recommendation

If you use the user signature with an external security product, you always work with verification in a live system. In signatures without verification, the system does not check whether the user certificate is valid. For this reason, we recommend using this signature method for test purposes only.

Activities

Assign the signature method you want to use to the following signature objects:

• PI sheet: process step

• PI sheet: accept invalid input values
