    Importante:

    Starting with the Australia release, HR task types: Credential, E-signature (e_signature), and Sign Document will be hidden and no longer activated on new instances, but will continue to be supported. E-signature provides the latest experience for this functionality.

    For details, see the Deprecation Process [KB0867184] article in the Now Support knowledge base.

    The Migrate HR e-signature tasks scheduled job migrates existing HR task templates and open HR tasks from the Credential, E-Signature, and Sign Document HR task types to the new E-signature HR task type.

    The associated document and signature configurations are also migrated to new or existing e-signature templates. If an e-signature template for the applicable document and signature configuration already exists, then the existing e-signature template is used. Otherwise, a new e-signature template is created.
