  New System Process

   

  Description: 
  The existing workflow for securing digital signatures is labor-intensive: users must manually download documents as PDFs, insert signature blocks, facilitate individual signing, and then re-upload the finalized files to ELMS. This multi-step process creates significant administrative lag.
  
  

  Recommended: 

  Enable secure digital signing for all issue and return forms (Individual, Unit, and Warehouse) using a DOD CAC reader for signing the transaction.  Similar to using a signature pad the digital signature will stay on the issue/return record.

  N/A
