Buttons and check boxes
Configure/activate ESIG for batch ex‐
ecution
If you select the check box, the use of ESIGs for objects is possible. If the check box
is cleared, an ESIG configured in the master recipe is not evaluated and the "ESIG"
tab is not included in the properties dialog (object properties) of the object. This option
is not possible with the "BATCH Basic" authorization.
Note: Existing ESIGs are not deleted when this option is deactivated.
Force comment when signing If you select this check box, the user(s) configured for the signing must also enter a
comment in the comment field in addition to their electronic signature. If no comment
is entered, the dialog cannot be closed and the recipe execution cannot be continued.
Edit Opens the "Configure roles dialog. Use this dialog to define the user roles.
OK Saves your settings and closes the dialog.
Standard Resets the settings you have made to the standard settings (as delivered).
Cancel Exits the dialog without saving your changes.
Help Opens the help for this context.
Canceling the signature process
Before this action is actually performed, the configured electronic signatures must be provided.
If more than one signature is required, the object can go into the "Checking" state. This means
that at least one - but not all - required signatures have been provided. An element in the
"Checking" state can be reset to its original state using the "Cancel signature procedure"
command in the "SIMATIC BATCH: Sign" dialog.
The settings from this dialog will only be considered the first time an action is executed. If the
element is already in the "Checking" state, the signature procedure must either be completed
or canceled – even when the signatures have been deactivated. That is, deactivating electronic
signatures does not change the statuses of the elements (for example, "Checking").
