Setting baseline compliance project options
You can enable detailed audit trail logging and electronic signatures to meet compliance requirements when baselines are changed.
1. Choose Tools > Administration > Project Options.
The Project Options dialog box opens.
2. Select Baselines from the Compliance category.
3. Select Enable detailed audit trail logging for baseline changes to enable the audit trail, which records the information modified when a baseline is added, modified, or deleted. The audit trail only includes basic information about the baseline. It does not include the baseline source items or link options.
When this option is enabled, the date and time is stored and logged in the audit trail. Helix ALM compares the last modification date to the date and time audit trail logging was enabled. When audit trail logging is enabled for an existing project, a record is logged the first time a baseline is edited and saved. The audit log is stored in its own project table and contains changed values.
4. Select Electronic signatures are required when changing baselines to require users to enter electronic signatures when changing baselines.
When a user adds, modifies, or deletes a baseline, they are prompted to enter an electronic signature and an optional reason. When the baseline is saved, the change reason and a message indicating the change was electronically signed are stored with the baseline.
- Select Signature Components options to specify if users are required to enter their password or their username and password. This setting is ignored if authentication through an identity provider is used.
- Select Signature meaning is required to require users to enter a reason for changing a baseline.
5. Click OK to save the changes.
