Admin Console Reports

Overview

The Admin Console can be used by Team Admins to generate status reports for all users and documents on their team or account. There are 3 report types that can be generated: User Activity, Compliance, and Document Status. Once generated, a link to download a CSV with the report information will be sent to the Team Admin's email.

For accounts that have enabled the Multi-Team feature, each report enforces the Multi-Teams access & controls determined by the team member’s organizational role. This enables Admins to review reporting information for their teams, while ensuring Sub-Team Admins only have access to their respective Sub-Team’s activity. Please see the table below for a description of information provided by each report and the subscription plan required to use this feature.

Reporting Limitations

Reports can take up to 30 minutes to generate, depending on the timeframe selected and number of results included in the report

Please note that we approximate a maximum of 250,000 entries for some of our reports. When the limit for number of entries is reached you will still receive an email notification, but instead of the option to download a CSV you will see an error with the text: “There was a problem preparing your report“.

When this occurs, please try generating the report again with a smaller date range to include less entries in the report. If you are still unable to download your report, please submit a request to our support team for further investigation.

Most reports are able to pull data from the start of your account activity. However, there are some limitations for how far back we can go to retrieve data depending on the report type. Please see the limitations in the table below:

Report TypeData Limitation
User ActivityBeginning of account activity
Document StatusBeginning of account activity
Compliance: Account & API Key DetailsBeginning of account activity
Compliance: API Call ActivityPrevious 90 days of data
Compliance: Log In ActivityBeginning of account activity
