# Failed signatures log

21 CFR Part 11 section 300 on regards of electronic signatures states: *“Use of transaction safeguards to prevent unauthorized use of passwords and/or identification codes, and to detect and report in an immediate and urgent manner any attempts at their unauthorized use to the system security unit, and, as appropriate, to organizational management”*.

Life Sciences Supply Chain Management captures the failed attempts to electronically sign records in the **Failed signatures** tab of the **Database log** form (**System administration > Inquiries > Database > Database log**), including the relevant information to identify the purpose of the electronic signature and the user who attempted to sign.

It is possible to configure a user that should be notified upon failed electronic signature attempts by selecting it in the **Failed signature alert recipient** field of the **Electronic signature parameters** form (**Organization administration > Setup > Electronic signature > Electronic signature parameters**).

The **Failed signatures log** report can be printed by clicking the **Failed signatures log** button in the **Database log**, and selecting the information to be included using the proper filters. Refer to the [Advanced database logging](/life-sciences/docs/advanced-database-logging) feature for additional details.
