InfoLog Features and Benefits

Accurate and Complete Data Collection

InfoLog ensures that required process and product data is entered in a timely and accurate manner. InfoLog can also provide immediate indication when values are not within acceptable limits, or when required data has not been entered. Comments can be associated with an event or specific logsheet values.

Event-Driven

Each InfoLog logsheet is associated with an event trigger. Events can be time-based, triggered by an external system or created by authorized users on an ad-hoc basis. Logsheets can also be prepopulated with data from external OPC servers.

Structured User Interface

InfoLog incorporates a structured logbook/logsheet paradigm that is associated with configured user profiles. The layout of the user interface can be adapted to specific data entry and management roles.

Integrated Specification Limits

Specifications can be configured for action, violation and error limits. Error limits prevent inadvertent errors due to the miskeying of data. Individual input cells can be specified as required, providing visual indication in the event that required values have not been entered.

Rigorous Security and Traceability

All view/enter/edit privileges are tied to a role-based security model. The logbook and logsheets that a user can access are associated with privileges. Likewise, an individual's authorization to enter and edit data is defined by the user's role. For example, certain classes of users may be able to enter data, while the authority to edit data may be confined to a subset of users. An audit trail is maintained for all data entry.

Regulatory Compliance

InfoLog was designed from the start to conform with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, Electronic Records and Signatures. Rigorous security, audit trails and version control ensure compliance with FDA regulations.
