Using an e-signature for reviewer authentication

Overview

The approval in the In Approval state in the Quality Management System workflow is configured to require reviewer identity authentication.

A credentials prompt for the assigned reviewer is added to the workflow popup for the approval.

The method of authentication used is configured globally as either:

Entering the username and token activates the Approve and Reject decision buttons.

The credentials are validated when the reviewer makes their approval decision.

The signing token is a time-based one-time password generated by an authentication app.

Each reviewer needs to have set up an authentication app for the instance to generate the signing token for each review.
