Sign Later for Bulk Electronic Signature

About this task

The Sign Later option allows you to perform electronic signature for all the modified values at one go. In the Activities section, you can use the icon (along with the counter) located next to the icon if, for any reason, you choose to modify multiple Autolog variables that require electronic signature at a time. The icon (along with the counter) is enabled only after you select the Sign Later button in the Electronic Signature window for modifying a variable.

For this to work, you must modify a variable value that requires an electronic signature and when the Electronic Signature window appears, select the Sign Later button located at the bottom of the window. However, when working in offline mode (lost network connectivity), any changes made to the variable values that require electronic signature are marked for Sign Later by default. Once the connectivity is restored, the

icon (along with the counter) is enabled to proceed with the authentication and approval.

Note:

When the Performer session is active, as a Performer, you can see the icon is activated in the Activity session of Autolog Display or in the Open page. If you need to leave your workstation for a brief period, you can select the to ensure that any additional changes will require performer verification. This helps prevent unauthorized changes.

If you have navigated from the Activity section, a warning message appears stating all the modifications made to the variables for electronic signature will be lost. You can either choose to exit from the Activity section or select Open Electronic Signature to authenticate and approve changes.
