Example 2: Set technical outlier state with reason and credentials
If your organization requires users to enter their user name and password together
with a reason when setting the technical outlier state, you can set up your database
policies so.
Procedure
To change the default behavior:
On the System menu, select Database policies.
In the Database policies dialog, on the
Signatures tab, under General,
activate the Requires user name option.
On the Traceability tab, under Changes to
protected values, from the Change technical outlier
state list box, select Permitted
with reason and signature.
Confirm your settings with OK.
Result
The templates you set up are available in the Template list
box of the Set technical outlier state dialog. Users need to
enter their user name and password.
The following figure shows the dialog for the setting with the Requires user name option enabled on the
Signatures tab. It displays three
text boxes where users enter the reason for making changes, their user name, and
their password.Figure 1. Templates for changing the technical outlier state in combination with
