# Generate certificate of completion

# Activate a system property to generate a certificate of completion {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
As a contract configurator, activate a system property to generate a certificate of completion for electronically signed contracts.

## Before you begin

You must have configured an electronic signature provider. For more information, see [Configure an e-signature provider](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/OhZIXxRFIL6uoz~pzjIERA "Configure an electronic signature provider to enable users to sign contract documents electronically.").

Role required: admin

## About this task

Note:  
This feature is applicable only for electronically signed contracts.

The certificate of completion provided by Docusign or Adobe Acrobat Sign includes the audit trail with the time stamp details about each signatory action during an electronic signature. The audit trail ensures non-repudiation and resolves any objections.

## Procedure

1. In the filter navigator, enter <kbd class="ph userinput">sys_properties.list</kbd>.
2. In the Name column, search for the <kbd class="ph userinput">sn_cm_core.enable_executed_contract_audit_certificate</kbd> property.  
   Figure 1. Audit certificate property
3. Select the property.
4. If you aren't able to edit the property in the current application scope, select the word here in the message at the top of the page.
5. Update the Value field to <kbd class="ph userinput">true</kbd>.
6. Select Update.

## Result

A certificate of completion will be generated for all electronically signed contracts.
