Event Attendee Signature Capture

  • iPad

Sales representatives have the ability to capture signatures of attendees of Medical Events. Reps and management can later easily identify if an attendee has signed (or not). Reps can also clear signatures if captured in error. Deletion of Event Attendee records is prevented if a signature has been captured for an attendee, and a Medical Event cannot be deleted if a signature was captured for one or more of the attendees of that event.

To enable this feature, add the Signature_Datetime_vod field to the Event Attendee related list on the Medical Event page layout. Ensure that the Event Attendee Status_vod picklist contains the following values: Signed_vod and Cleared_Signature_vod. The Exclude_Field_List_vod field on the VMobile Object Configuration record for Event_Attendee_vod should contain the following value: Signature_vod__c

When enabled, a Sign button displays in the Event Attendees related list. Tapping Sign opens the signature window, which includes the attendee’s name, address, license number and specialty. If the attendee is a contact or user, then only the name is visible. An optional disclaimer can also be displayed by populating the DISCLAIMER_MEDICAL_EVENT Veeva message. If a signature had previously been captured for an attendee, the Sign button is replaced by a Clear button and tapping it will remove the signature.

The iPad platform also supports a Self Service Sign In sheet, which allows the rep’s iPad to be safely handed to attendees of the Medical Event so that they can sign in themselves. While the Sign-In sheet is displayed, the application is locked – clicking the lock icon on the top right will require the rep to enter his password to return to the application. When the Signature_Datetime_vod field is present on the Event Attendees related list, a Sign In operation button appears in the Medical Event Detail page. Tap this button to access the Self Service Sign In sheet.

If an individual attendee is signing on behalf of a business account, grant edit permission to the Signee_vod field on the Event Attendee object. This displays a Signee text field to be entered when a signature is captured.
