How It Works

Define the Effective Date

The document must be effective to start being used within the company.

You can set a document effective date during the approval process. Set a specific future date for the document to be implemented.

The system allows you to make documents effective immediately if needed. It only takes a click of a button to make the document effective right after approval.

Initiate Approval Routing

After creating and drafting the document, you can easily route the document for approval.

An automated email notification will be sent to the designated approvers, informing them that the document is ready for their approval.

Approve with Electronic Signatures

You can approve a document by signing it using a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant electronic signature.

The electronic signature authenticates the approval process and validates the document’s integrity.

Document Released as PDF File

Documents are securely distributed as tamper-proof PDF files, ensuring version control and audit trails.

You can verify the electronic signatures at the bottom of the document to ensure authenticity and traceability.

Use Documents for Learning

Once a document is approved, it can be used for learning.

You can create learning rules to automatically assign the document for learning to specific employees.

The system will notify employees of the new or updated documents to learn.
