_ESF - Configuring Electronic Signature Fields

The following pages describe how to configure Electronic Signature Fields

Requiring electronic signatures on ticket transition

When you add the electronic signature fields, the credentials are required when a user attempts to edit the ticket. In addition to this you can also require users to enter credentials when they move tickets from the "In progress" to "Done" status.

1. Go to Jira Administration > Issues > Screens.
2. Select Workflow Screen and click Configure. 
3. Add your custom field to the screen.
   
   
   
   
4. To assign the Workflow Screen to transition, go to Issues > Workflows. 
5. Click Edit for a project where you want to modify the workflow. Click a Diagram view. 
6. Select the transition where you want the signature to be required. The configuration panel appears. Click Edit. 
7. Select Workflow Screen from the dropdown menu and click Save.
   
   

Now users will be required to enter credentials in the Electronic Signature field when moving tickets from "In Progress" to "Done". 

Requiring electronic signatures on bulk transitioning

In addition, you can also require users to enter credentials when they move several tickets at the same time (bulk operation) from  In progress to Done status.

1. Add Electronic Signature custom field to the Workflow Screen and assign it to necessary transition.
2. Select your tickets, go to Jira Tools  and click Bulk change.
   
   
   
   
3. Select the Operation and the Operation Details that you need.
   
   
   
   
   

Now users will be required to enter credentials in the Electronic Signature field when moving tickets from In Progress to Done status.

Locking signatures after a number of failed login attempts

1. Go to Jira Administration > Add-ons > Electronic Signature Fields > Configuration.
