For time stamps, we use the services of the certification authority PostSignum (Česká pošta), which are in compliance with the EU eIDAS regulation. As part of our trusted electronic archive, time stamps are free for wflow users.

In this article you will learn:

What is a time stamp and why to use them?

The time stamp guarantees that the data in electronic form existed in that form at a specific point in time. The system time that is recorded in documents is easily manipulated, only a time stamp gives you unquestionable proof of what your document looked like when you stamped it.

Learn more about time stamps at the Czech post office webpage.

To see which documents have been time-stamped, add the Stamped option to the active columns. A blue icon will be displayed for documents containing a timestamp.

How to automate time stamping?

No one wants to spend time stamping like a postman, even digitally.

You can set up automatic time stamping for different types of documents, either when the document is created or when it is approved.

This feature is included in the Business and Enterprise pricelists.
