three signoffs. Each signoff consists of a user name, password and optionally
a comment. The SignatureList control is part of the Electronic Signatures
feature, which enables signatures to be electronically recorded. There are
several steps that must be performed prior to using this control. See the
FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor User Guide for information on configuring
electronic signatures.
The format of the SignatureList interface varies, depending on the container
in which the control is placed and how the control is formatted within that
container. However, the generic control functions in the same way regardless
of the container in which it is placed, and still allows an operator to recognize
and respond to any pending Signatures in the SignatureList.
The SignatureList control includes a shortcut menu that can be accessed by
right-clicking anywhere within the control. The shortcut menu allows you to
log in to the View security.
Like the Signature List View window within the FactoryTalk Batch View, the
SignatureList control is used to recognize and sign off any signatures
generated while running a batch. Incomplete signatures remain in the
SignatureList window until the signature is completed or until the batch is
STOPPED or ABORTED. The SignatureList control can be accessed in several
different ways:
• Placing the control within a web browser
