At the top of the Reports section, select a team member from the dropdown to view the documents sent by that member. Adjust the dates to specify a different time range. Then, click Generate Report to view the results, which will be displayed in a bar graph. Below the graph, review more information on the documents and templates created during this time range.
Team

The list displays the following information for each team member:
- name
- email address
- status
- role
- if private templates are enabled for the team member

Enter a term into the Search team… box to filter the list. The list will filter as you type. Click Export to Excel to download a spreadsheet of the filtered list.
Admins can also add new team members and edit existing ones in this section. Learn more about managing your team.
Settings
Admins can manage organization-level settings by clicking on the Settings tab along the top of the page.
In the Organization Settings section, you can customize your organization name. You can also opt to attach a copy of the unsigned document to the initial email that is sent to signees, or include a document’s ID and verification URL on signed documents.
In the Message Settings section, you can choose the language used in text and email messages to document recipients, and customize those messages. Selecting Spanish changes the signee experience (prompts, buttons, and confirmation email) to Spanish as well. These message settings will always appear in new templates and documents by default, but can be edited by the user creating the template or document.
When you’ve finished editing your settings, be sure to click Save Changes at the bottom.
Note: If a message has been customized in this section, and an Admin selects a different message language and saves the changes, then the original customized message will be lost.
