Approvals & e-signatures
Sign off with enforced electronic signatures — multi-step approval chains that define who must sign and in what order, with full signature history under 21 CFR Part 11.
Approval chains define exactly who must sign and in what order. Each gate is enforced with 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signatures and a complete signature history, so a record only advances once the people accountable have signed.
This section covers configuring approval chains, signing and rejecting, reading the signature history, and the Part 11 controls behind it all.
