Signing
From the 'ready to sign' and the 'not signed' view it is possible to sign off activities and/or forms which are ready to be signed (closed activities and submitted forms with status 'no issues'). It is possible to select all activities/forms for signature or to make a selection of activities/forms for signature.
At the bottom of the signature page there will be a summary of the number of activities and forms which have been selected for signature (and which are not selected).
Signing will be done by entering the user email and password and clicking the 'submit signature' button.
Signing cannot be done with a temporary password
Revoke a signature
Manual revoke
After a(n) acitivity/form has been signed, a user can manually revoke the signature if the user is the owner of the activity/form.
From the 'signed' view it is possible to revoke the signature of activities and/or forms which were already signed by clicking on the in the 'Revoke' column and confirming the action.
Automatic revoke
Signatures can also be automatically revoked by the system. For forms this will happen when the data on the form are edited after the form has been signed. Process signatures will be automatically revoked when the process data are changed. This occurs when the process is reset, restarted, deleted (by restarting/resetting or changing the actual arm of a previous process) or when the actual arm has been changed.
History of revoked signatures
To see the history of the manually and automatically revoked signatures, the user needs to click on the button in the 'History' column. The number between brackets shows the number of revokes that were done for that activity/form.
The following parameters will be shown
You will see when and by who the signature was done and on which date the revoke was done with the reason (manual versus automatic?).
