Define an internal signatory rule to map signatories to a template using signatory mappings.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: sn_cm_core.contract_admin and sn_cm_core.contract_config

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

If you want the variables related to a contract request to be available in the condition builder, add the contract request reference to your application table. For more information, see [Enable contract request fields in condition builders](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/GefA3rGVwphOx0m3N0TF4Q "As an administrator, provide access to contract request fields so they can be selected in condition builders.")

## Prozedur

1. Navigate to AllContracts CoreContracts AdministrationInternal Signatory Rules.
2. Select New.
3. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   {#cncore-define-internal-signers-rule__table_nbm_c44_bhb__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Name | Display name of the internal signatory rule. |
   | Template | Template selected from the active and published templates list. |
   | Table | Table that is associated with the selected template. The field is auto-populated when the template is selected. |
   | Description | Description of the internal signatory rule. |
   | Active | Option to indicate that the signatory rule is active and available for use. |
   | Order | Order in which the signatory rule is used. |

6. Select Update.  
   Hinweis:  
   When more than one internal signatory rule is applicable, the signatory rule with the lowest order is considered.

## Ergebnisse

An internal signatory rule is created to map a user as an internal signatory for the corresponding contract template.  
Hinweis:  
During signatory assignment for contract based on own paper, the Internal Signatory rule takes precedence.

* A user from Signers mappings is picked as a signatory.
* For contract templates configured with participants, when a participant does not meet the Internal Signatory rule criteria, a signatory is picked from the user field mapping of the participant list in the template.
* While creating the signer task for an internal user, check whether the user's legal name is available in the user's employee profile. If no value is provided in the Legal Name field, use the user name from the Users \[sys_user\] table. For more information, see [Employee Profile form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/A~7yVezAmJQqBBy6G12LLA "An option in the Employee Profile configuration that provides a list of employee profile fields.").
* When no data is found, an empty signatory record is created that can update with the correct signatory details.
