Default Document Properties: Enhanced Validation (Electronic Signature)

When this feature is enabled, a user must enter his or her user name and password (an electronic signature, in effect) in order to complete a task, such as marking a document as read, accepting a document in review, or approving a document. In the case where a kiosk computer is the point of general PolicyTech™ access under a generic service account, this feature provides verification that the intended user has completed a task.

Important: Enhanced Validation can also be enabled or disabled on templates and individual documents. See Template Setting: Enhanced Validation and Optional Document Settings. Changing the Enhanced Validation setting in Default Document Properties does not affect this setting in existing templates and documents. It will, however, become the default setting for new templates.

Select the Require users to re-enter log in credentials when completing a task check box to turn on enhanced validation.

The two screenshots below show what a user will see when marking a document as read if enhanced validation is required.
