Digital signatures

Support for digital signatures is primarily provided for compliance with the US FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulation - Electronic records and electronic signatures. Various industries, however, may find inclusion of digital signatures beneficial towards their quality control and assurance systems.

Digital signatures allow users to record an event in a LogTag^® Analyzer file along with their digital signature. To add digital signatures to data files, LogTag^® Analyzer must be connected to the LogTag^® User Server software. For more information how to connect see User Server, or contact your local network administrator.

To add a signature to a file, open the file it and click on Signatures located on the toolbar, which will display the File Properties window with the Digital Signatures tab already activated.

Then click New to start adding a digital signature.

Once the Add Digital Signature dialog box appears, enter your LogTag^® Analyzer user password and select the meaning for the digital signature that is being added.

Click OK to permanently add the digital signature to the file or Cancelto abort. Multiple digital signatures from the same or different users can be added to a single LogTag^® Analyzer file.
