MES Signature Template Manager

The MES Signature Template Manager component provides configuration control to administrators defining authorization challenge requirements when using the Electronic Signature features in MES. Signature Templates individually define necessary user credential requirements for a given type of authorization challenge that can then be referenced elsewhere in the project.

Version Specific

E-Signature is supported in 3.81.6 RC 1 and later.

In Ignition, the MES Signature Template Manager component is located under the Production Module in the Perspective Component Palette.

Add the template manager to a perspective view in the Ignition Designer. Administrators can add and edit templates in preview mode or by launching a perspective session in Ignition.
