Control step verification signature

If a control step requires a verification signature before the operator is allowed to continue processing, you can add step verification to the control step. You have the option of requiring one to three sign-offs per verification signature. The verification signature template is defined in the FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor (see the
FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor
 User Guide
 for more information).
To specify a verification signature to use for control step verification, enter:
<sop>VERIFICATIONSIG=
SignatureTemplate
</sop>
(where
SignatureTemplate
 is the signature template name, defined in the FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor, and used for the verification signature)
Configure verification signature options
By default the full user name is the only identifier displayed in the step HTML instruction page and recorded in the event journal as signer information. If you want to include the UserID instead of, or in addition to, the full user name, you must edit the eProcedure Server configuration settings to do so. The eProcedure server configuration settings are located in the batchMBS.ini file. The batchMBS.ini file is located in the Batch\bin folder. Use the following procedure to make this update:
  1. Open the batchMBS.ini file in a text editor.
  2. Locate the
    [CONFIG] DisplayOptions
     setting.
  3. Enter the option number:
    • 1
       - Full User Name Only
    • 2
       - UserID Only
    • 3
       - Both Full User Name and UserID
  4. Save the batchMBS.ini file.
These settings are applied the next time the FactoryTalk Batch View server or FactoryTalk eProcedure server starts.
TIP:
If the
DisplayOptions
 setting in the batchMBS.ini is missing, or the batchMBS.ini file itself is missing, the software defaults to using the Full User Name Only configuration.
