RSView32 User’s Guide
For added security, the signature button can also be set up so that
authorization by another person, such as a supervisor, is required
before the operation can be carried out.
At run time, the action can be prevented from being carried out and an
error message can be displayed if a user name or password is incorrect,
or if other information, such as an operator’s comment, is required but
not provided.
Tracking changes with activity logging
The actions performed using the electronic signature button are
recorded in the activity log, and can be viewed in the Activity Log
Viewer. The information that is logged includes the user name, old
value, new value, the operator’s comments about why the change was
made, and the name of the person who approved the change.
For more information about activity logging, see Chapter 8, Configuring
activity logging.
Creating signature buttons
The signature button is an ActiveX control that you add to a graphic
display to control the actions that can be performed by the operator at
run time.
To create a signature button
1. In the Graphic Display editor in RSView32, open the display to
which you want to add the signature button.
2. On the Objects menu, click ActiveX Control.
3. Draw a box the size you want for the signature button.
When you release the mouse button, the Insert an ActiveX Control
dialog box opens.
