Identity, SSO & Session Security
OpenID Connect (OIDC) is available for sign-in with corporate identity providers, and SSO now extends to the operator interface (web and native) using the same configuration as the admin app. Sessions expire after configurable inactivity with a warning before logout, and workspaces can lock operator devices to a single user per session. Impersonation is opt-in by default for GMP environments, and outgoing notification emails can use your own SMTP sender address instead of the default no-reply address.
Signatures & Four-Eyes Compliance
Electronic signature and approval sign-offs can require OIDC re-authentication or badge verification, with every attempt recorded in the audit trail. You can require a signature before a critical step or board task moves forward — in work instructions or on improvement board tasks — and choose who may sign: a specific person, a user group, or the current operator. Operators authenticate by badge, email and password, or SSO when stricter re-authentication is required.
New devices default to blocking operators from double-checking their own answers, and quality controllers receive email when a double-check is pending. Work instruction authors can no longer approve or sign the same version they created, and the double-check UI hides entirely when the feature is off.

Audit Trail & Traceability
A dedicated Audit Trail screen under Settings supports filtering and export for compliance reviews. Work instruction versions distinguish approved vs effective dates in revision history, board items can move automatically when a linked instruction reaches its effective date, and finished audit results can be locked so pass/fail outcomes cannot be changed after execution. Sequential approval waves ensure each column signs only after the previous one is complete.
Faster Authoring & Fewer Mistakes
Insert steps and blocks from the template library directly in the step quick menu, and newly created audits link automatically to their review board. Operators get a confirmation before leaving an in-progress work instruction on the operator app, and training reminders can trigger a set number of days after an event. Completed digital forms export to structured PDF for archival in regulated environments.
Notifications & Admin UX
Email notifications go to users or groups when electronic signatures are required, matching approval-flow behavior. The "Hide User Rights" control is visually separated from regular permission toggles to prevent accidental lockouts, and the rights matrix is clearer for day-to-day administration.
