Each time an operator signs for an action, a detailed electronic record is written to the electronic signature audit trail. Records written to the electronic signature audit trail:
- Ensure a tamper-resistant, time-stamped, permanent record of operator actions.
- Include the user names and full names of all operators and supervisors involved in signing and verifying actions.
- Include all comments entered by the operators and supervisors involved in signing and verifying actions.
- Are recorded in a relational database via the Alarm ODBC Service.
Refer to the Creating an Electronic Signature Audit Trail chapter for complete information about configuring audit trail messages for electronic signature and examples of signed messages sent to a relational database.
