Enabling the Electronic Signature Feature

You can enable Quality-based Document Control to prompt the user for a password when approving a route task.

  1. Create or open the text file for customized properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
  2. To enable Quality-based Document Control to prompt the user for a password when approving a route task, follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:

      emxFramework.Routes.EnableFDA=true

    2. Set the value for this property as needed:

      • true: Users must provide electronic signatures (that is, enter their passwords) when approving route tasks. This is the default value.
      • false: A password is not required to approve route tasks.

  3. To enable Quality-based Document Control to prompt the user for a username in addition to a password when approving a route task, follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:

      emxFramework.Routes.ShowUserNameForFDA=true

    2. Set the value for this property as needed:

      • true: Users must enter their username in addition to the password for approvals. This is the default value.
      • false: The username is not required. The user only needs to enter their password.

      If the EnableFDA property is set to false, this property has no effect.

  4. When you are finished updating the text file with all properties that you want to modify, use the text file to modify the emxSystem.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
