3. In the Electronic Signature dialog box, the signing party enters their
user name and password in the appropriate fields. (The signer may be

Signed Datasets and Analysis Sets
You cannot make changes to a signed experiment. However, if you are the
owner of a signed dataset or analysis set, you can use the Revise command
to reopen it so you can make the following kinds of controlled changes:
• Rename
• Add a report point
• Create a report point
• Add a user-defined column
• Delete a user-defined column
• Delete a report point column
You must indicate a justification for any of these changes, which are tracked in
the audit trail.
Names of signed datasets and analysis sets have the notation (signed)
appended to them. You can revise only the lowest level signed element. For
example, if a dataset and an analysis set under it are both signed, you can
revise only the analysis set.
To revise a signed dataset or analysis set:
1. In the navigation pane, select the dataset or analysis set name >
Revise. The electronic signature dialog box appears.
2. Type your user name, password, and a reason for the revision.
3. Click OK. The dataset or analysis set reopens, and the audit trail Event
column indicates the event is a new revision.
The dataset or analysis set name continues to appear with the notation
(signed) appended to it, but you can now make changes to it. After you finish
making changes, sign the dataset or analysis set again.
Audit Trail
Any changes made or actions performed after an experiment, processed
dataset, analysis dataset, or Report Point table has been created and/or
signed automatically generate an audit trail that documents each change or
action. All major actions and changes are audited.
