Providing an Electronic Signature for an Item
If your administrator has set up electronic signatures, you may need to provide your username and password when creating or making specific changes to an item. For example, you could be required to provide an electronic signature when you change an item’s state to Completed. Signature information is recorded in the item’s history.
To sign an item change or for signing multiple items upon batch editing, in the Signature Required dialog, select the authentication scheme that you would want to proceed with.
For signing using the SSO scheme:
1. In the Signature Required dialog box, select the Login with SSO authentication scheme.
2. Enter a comment in the Signature Comment, if required and click OK.
3. A new browser window opens where you need to provide your credentials to complete the authentication process.
4. After the SSO authentication is complete, click Open PTC RV&S 13.5.0.0 in the browser dialog to complete the signing process.
* 
Once redirected to browser for authentication, the PTC RV&S Client GUI waits for a response from the browser for the duration specified in the SSO Authentication Waiting Time in the PTC RV&S Client Preferences Configuration. If no response is received within this time, the Signature Required dialog reappears, allowing you to retry logging in using either SSO authentication or basic authentication.
For signing using the basic authentication:
1. In the Signature Required dialog box, select the Basic Authentication scheme.
2. You are required to enter your credentials in the Signing User, and Signing Password fields.
3. You can also add your comments in the Signature Comment field, and then click OK to complete the signing process.
