A minimum reading time stops people signing a document without reading it. The sign button stays greyed out until the time has passed. You can set it when you add the document or change it later.
Setting a reading time on a new document
While adding a site document, find Minimum reading time (seconds).
Enter the number of seconds, for example 30, 60 (1 minute) or 300 (5 minutes).
Select Save.
Changing the reading time on an existing document
Open the Site Documents tile and select Open on the document.
Under Signing requirement, select the pencil next to Reading time.
Enter the new time in seconds and confirm.
The new reading time applies the next time someone opens the document.
NB: The signature button will remain greyed out until this time has passed.
Use Case
H&S managers and super users sharing long or safety-critical documents, such as RAMS or method statements.
đĄ Tips
Match the reading time to the length of the document. A one-page notice might need 30 seconds; a full RAMS might need 5 minutes or more.
Don't set it too high for short documents. People quickly learn to wait out the timer instead of reading.
