Signature enforcement and authentication

When you apply the eSignature package to a record type, records of that type include a page of eSignature fields: User Name, Password, Signature Log, and Is Current®. If a signature is required, the user name and password become required fields; otherwise, they are read-only.

When a signature is required, the user name and password of the signature are compared with the user name and password that were used to log in to the HCL Compass environment. If the identities match, the change is accepted, and the signature is logged. If the identities do not match, an error message is displayed, and no change is made to the database.
