Digital Sign Off of Operation Subtasks
Explanation
You can sign off an operation subtask using digital sign off when the site is set up to use digital signature.
This is compulsory in order to close an operation where the Sign Off Required field has been set to
Required to Close Operation. This procedure is normally performed by a shop floor worker. It is
possible to revoke the digital sign off.
IFS Signature Service requires the users to use an additional authentication device,
YubiKey, for digital sign off. More information on the set up of digital signatures can be found
here.

- The Shop Order Operation Work Guidelines page, select the subtask/s and
click Digital Sign Off. To open this page, select an operation on
the Shop Order/Operation tab and click Work
Guidelines.
- The Shop Order Work Guidelines page, select the subtask/s and
click Digital Sign Off.
- The Shop Floor Workbench page, select an operation, expand the operation
and select a guideline on the Guidelines tab. Select the subtask/s and
click Digital Sign Off.
- The Operation Guide assistant, for the selected operation, in
the Instructions and Subtasks section. Select the subtask and
click Digital Sign Off.
