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.
