Contact Information Indicates which contact to display in Onboarding (Transitions). The "contact" for a process is the person who is available to answer questions for candidates/new hires. The contact's phone number and email address can be configured to display in content pages, message templates, user-defined forms and PDFs.

There are 5 choices regarding whose information can be displayed: Recruiter, Recruiter Assistant, Hiring Manager, Hiring Manager Assistant, and Process Owner. Remember that the Process Owner might be configured to be a specific user or a functional role with context-sensitive assignees depending on the OLF of each requisition. Therefore, this contact information can be specifically tailored for new hires.

Public Process Owner
Details Link for Processes Enables the Details link in the General Information section of the Process page (which is available in the Onboarding (Transitions) Center). Enter the code of the desired form in the Value field. Public
Email Address for Onboarding (Transitions) Process Before an Onboarding (Transitions) process can be started for a candidate/employee, an email address must be associated with the candidate/employee in the database. This is the case even if the process is configured such that no notifications or reminders are sent to the individual. If no value is provided for this setting, no Onboarding (Transitions) process can be started for candidates for whom there is no email address. If a value is provided for this setting, the value is reproduced in the “Personal Email Address” and “Correspondence Email” fields in the SmartOrg user account of every candidate who lacks an email address. The value is not reproduced where candidates already have an SmartOrg user account with an email address).
eSignature Timestamp Display Property Controls whether all E-Signature dates are displayed with the exact time that the signature was captured. The date is always formatted using a default short date style. The time is displayed using Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) timezone format.

If the organization is spread across time zones, it is better to have an "absolute" time shown on the E-Signatures when displayed back on read-only forms or PDFs. If the organization is localized or consolidated in one time zone, it might be more suitable to omit the time entirely when displaying E-Signature dates.
