EASA eSignature
An eSignature provides a digital validation of data integrity by an authorized party.
EASA 6.1 eSignature functionality has two main parts
- ESIGNER and one or more child STAGE OPTIONS
- Allow an authorized party to create an eSignature to validate the integrity of an EASAP's complete state
- Store the eSignature and a hash code derived from the signed EASAP state in the EASA database
- Certify EASAP state has not changed for subsequent eSignature approvals
-
- Display a table of valid signatures going forward in time
An optional final step allows EASAP data to be locked, see Lock ESIGNER button
Below is an example showing ESIGNER and ESIGNER VIEWER GUI objects.
READ CASE DATA
READ CASE DATA allows access to fields of a list of case records within an Excel Desktop Client EASAP.
A User may select one or more case ID's with a CASE VIEWER and certain Excel named-range values from the case records will be loaded into LIST's within the EASAP.
Multi-Value SET VALUE ACTION
SET VALUE ACTION allows comma separated values or a LIST reference in Objects: as well in Values:
A single value in Values: will assign that value to multiple elements of a LIST reference in Objects:
Streamline and automate the GUI with SET FOCUS ACTION
To adjust focus between GUI elements a User had to previously:
- Scroll click with a mouse
- Press the TAB key
Now an Author may use a SET FOCUS ACTION saving a User time and effort.
