Authorized employees can enter information directly into an original application file using a checking result, or an authorization result. By using a flexible digital stamp you can enter desired information, and effectively control the rest of the workflow.
Example
The people in charge of the project check for any changes to the product in the document info record, for which there exists a design drawing and a specification (among other things). The changes are incorporated completely in the design drawing; however, the specification is still incomplete, and must be revised again. The project leader stamps this information on each original application file.
Redlining Function Bar
Stamping is a redlining function. The content of a stamp is saved in a layer. You can only carry out the function if the redlining function bar is active.
Stamp Settings
Before you can stamp an original application file, you must have created a stamp with the desired settings (for example, stamp text and layout).
See: Creating a Stamp and Making Settings
Authorization Checks
Authorization checks, which belong to object class
CV
(
Document Management
), are carried out for the
Stamp
function. To be able to stamp, the following authorizations are required:
Authorization Object |
Use |
S_ECL_CAT
|
With this authorization object you control whether a user group may add or delete stamp categories. |
S_ECL_STP2
|
With this authorization group you control whether a user group can stamp with a selected stamp category. The stamp can be set up in such a way that data from the document info record is also stamped. You can also control the deletion and change of a stamp. |
