Configuring Electronic Signatures For Tasks

You can configure route tasks to require electronic signatures and to include the responsible role for the task. To meet FDA guidelines, these properties should all be set to true.

Important: This app uses electronic signatures to provide an audit trail for certain approvals, as is often required in highly-regulated industries. You cannot delete or modify the personal data contained in the electronic signatures. You should carefully review your use cases associated with electronic signatures to ensure that the specific business requirements associated with them are being met, while still adhering to good personal data management practices.
