Specifying the electronic signature key

If your organization requires electronic signature verification, you must create an electronic signature password key for verification.

About this task

To comply with regulatory requirements, some organizations require that users provide credentials and give a reason for changes before they can change records. If your organization requires electronic signature verification, you must create an electronic signature key when you set up your profile. When you perform an action or change a field that requires authentication, enter the key that you created.

Administrators can configure security controls to require that electronic signature keys conform to rules for product passwords.
