In general there are the following options to activate (release) job templates and results. The release process is the same for job templates and job results.

  • One Signature Release (Default)
    This release process requires one electronic signature only. The signature is required, when you activate a job template from status Draft to Active. The electronic signature is bound to a personal certificate which will be automatically generated, if no other certificates exist on the computer. At this point you must enter your password to confirm the changing of the status.
  • Two Signature Release
    This release process allows two signatures to release a job template (4-Eye Principle). Two persons are required and therewith two signatures for releasing a job template. The first signature is required, when you publish a job template from status Draft to Published. The second signature is required, when another person activates the job template form status Published to Active. As mentioned above, the user password must be entered each time the status of a job template is changed.

Activate the desired release process under Maintenance > General Options > GxP options.

Both release processes and the template status are displayed in the flow charts below.
