Signature pad is a feature that any application can use. It captures an electronic
signature that can be associated with a document or a task.  
Importante:  
Starting with the Australia release, HR Document Templates is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer activated on new instances, but will continue to be supported.

Use [Document Templates](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/CLhHPzMDfL6oJ6lOzXVr6A "With the ServiceNow Document Templates application, you can create HTML and PDF document templates to generate standard letters or documents. You can automate and simplify the process of filling, signing, and reviewing a document online.") that provides the latest experience for this functionality. For migration guidelines, see [Migrating from HR Document Templates to Document Templates](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/6sGo8iXlrqVNNp1jDNT~JA#migration-hrdt-dt "Review these guidelines to successfully migrate from HR Document Templates to Document Templates. Document Templates provides the latest experience of HR Document Templates functionality with additional features and capabilities.").

For deprecation details, see the [Deprecation Process \[KB0867184\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0867184) article in the Now Support knowledge base.

The HR Service Delivery
application uses signature pad with onboarding documents like offer letters, background check
approval, company policy acknowledgements, and more.

The Human Resources Scoped App: Core \[com.sn_hr_core\] plugin activates the Signature Pad
\[com.snc.signaturepad\] plugin. The Signature Image \[signature_image\] table installs with this
plugin.

Ensure Yes is checked in the
com.snc.signaturepad.retrieveSignature field on HR properties. See
[HR properties](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/fP3__~SSSTwI5qAglKnllA "HR properties control the behavior of HR Service Delivery.").  
Nota:  
[E-signature](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=e-signature&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US)

Use
:   You can send your employees documents that require a user verification such as a digital
    signature or by typing their name.
:   When signature pad is associated with a document or a task, it captures the drawn
    signature as an image and stores it in the Signature Image \[signature_image\]
    table.  
    Nota:  
    Typing a signature provides acknowledgement, but does not capture an image that is stored.
:   For HR document templates, use the Insert Signature button to insert a variable that prompts a user to sign the
    document. For HR PDF document templates, use the
    Employee Signature field name and PDF Template Mappings to prompt a user to sign the document. Refer to [HR document templates](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ppffk6kp155cnUgMvr51fg "HR Document Templates are used to create and modify reuseable HR documents.").  
    Nota:  
    Check the generate document UI action condition to ensure this feature works correctly.

    Examples

        code used to call a UI page or dialog box for the signature pad:
