Signing Documents
Using electronic signatures in Part3 keeps everything related to document creation and distribution in one place.
Electronic Signatures in Part3: To sign a document in Part3 you must be an authenticated user. The moment a document is electronically signed the event is logged in the document history for all to see. Furthermore, once a document has been returned or issued, it is uneditable, meaning you will always have the original copy saved, minimizing the risk of inappropriate use.
