Signing things

Context 1: In-app signing

Most documents — SWMS sign-on, pre-start acknowledgement, logbook counter-sign — can be signed directly in the app by any team member with an account.

1. 1.Open the notification or tap the document in your queue.
2. 2.Read the document in full. Scroll to the bottom.
3. 3.Draw your signature in the pad using your finger or stylus.
4. 4.Tap Confirm and sign. Done.

Context 2: Supervisor email link

When a supervisor is off-site, they receive an email with a link to review and sign a logbook entry or SWMS. No app login is required. The link opens a secure review page in any web browser.

The supervisor reads the document, draws their signature on the pad, and taps confirm. The signed record is immediately reflected in the app.

Context 3: Public token URL (SWMS crew sign-on)

For SWMS crew sign-on, a supervisor can share a public token link with the crew — useful when distributing to people who aren't yet in the system (e.g. workers from a sub who don't have RopeLogix accounts).

The person opens the link on their phone, reads the SWMS, enters their name and IRATA number, and draws their signature. No account required.

These responses are tracked on the SWMS — the supervisor can see the full sign-on list including external signatories. Public links expire after 30 days or when the job is closed, whichever comes first.

What signing actually attests to

Every signature in RopeLogix is a declaration that:

• ● The signatory has read and understood the document.
• ● The information they provided (name, IRATA number, hours claimed) is accurate to the best of their knowledge.
• ● For supervisors signing a logbook entry: they are satisfied the work happened as described and the hours are correct.

Signatures are timestamped and cannot be altered or deleted once submitted. This is a feature, not a limitation — it's what makes the record meaningful.

Viewing all signatures on a document

Open any signed document and tap Signature audit trail. You'll see every signatory, their drawn signature, the time they signed, and (for app signatures) their account details. This is the record that goes into an audit pack.
