This feature allows you to ensure that only approved methods can be used to acquire and process data.
If you activate this feature, a status label becomes editable for your master processing methods. By default, the status is Generic. Only users with the privilege E-Signature > Change method status can change the master method status.
Result set methods are created during linking data to the master method. Linking directly to a result set method is not allowed if method approval is enforced. The result set method always has the same status label as the master method that it was created from. The status of result set methods cannot be changed.
Users without the privilege Processing method > Use generic processing methods can link injections only to approved master methods, and they can reprocess result sets only if approved methods are linked.
The following values are available under Method status in the General > Properties node of the processing method:
Generic, that is, not yet approved
