Extended handover screen
Functional details
Extended handover screen with customizable content has been introduced to enable combination of legal information and signature area on one screen. Thanks to its customizable layout capabilities, content can be built and put into sequence supplied with one or more signature fields.
Extended signature screen type SIGNEX can be used when defining screens to be used in screen flow (visit scenarios). See chapter 3.9.
Only one SIGNEX screen can be used in one business scenario. It is recommended to either use Extended Handover screen or combination of standard handover and signature screen in one visit scenario (screen flow).
