When electronic signatures are required, users must enter a reason for changing a record.
Administrators can configure the Reason For Change field to provide a list of
options to choose from.
About this task
By default, the Reason For Change field in the Electronic
Signature Authentication window is a free-form text field where users can enter up to 50
characters to describe the reason for a change. Administrators can configure the field to require
users to choose from a defined value list by adding values to the CHANGEREASON domain. Note: You do
not assign this value list to a database object and attribute. The connection to the database for
this value list is already present.
Procedure
- In the Domains application, open the CHANGEREASON domain.
- Click Edit Detail.
- In the ALN Domain window, click New
Row.
- In the Value field and Description field,
specify values for the CHANGEREASON domain.
The following conditions apply to this value list:
- These values are not written to the database.
- The value in the Description field is what users see when they use the
list.
For example, you want users to see a value list that contains only Changed the
record and Deleted the record. In the
Value field and Description field, enter the following
information:
| Value field |
Description field |
| CHANGE |
Changed the record |
| DELETE |
Deleted the record |
- Click OK.
