signature (SAE) v2.0
module components
The Security, Auditing, and E-signature (SAE) v2.0 module includes three
components:
• SAE Administrator Console—Tool that is used by an SAE administrator to
configure the SAE module.
• SAE server (server)—Service that runs in the background and stores SAE
settings, user accounts, audit records, and e-signature records. By default, the
SAE server is installed on the same computer as the SAE Administrator Console.
• SAE screens (client)—Screens that are displayed in an application (sign in, audit,
and e-signature) and that require user input. The SeqStudio
™
Data Collection
Software runs on the client.
The Security, Auditing, and E-signature (SAE) v2.0 module provides the following
SAE functionality on the instrument:
• System security—Controls user sign in and access to functions
• Auditing—Tracks changes and actions performed by users.
• E-signature —Allows users to provide an electronic signature (user name and
password) when performing certain functions.
Depending on the way that your SAE administrator configures these features:
• Some of the features and functions described in later chapters of this guide may
not be accessible to you.
• You may see dialog boxes and prompts when you use the software (examples
shown below).
