Company files work as a centralized repository for all your company-related documents and other file types that you need to share with your employees, such as:
- Guides
- Policies
- Branding stuff
- Office floor plans etc.
🔒 New hires will have access to company files once their onboarding is complete and they are invited to the account.
Accessing company files
Every user with access to the Employee Management features can visit the Files page under the 'Company' item in the main navigation menu.
📌 HR admins have full access to all company folders and files, while standard access members can only view folders and files according to the permissions set by HR admins.
On the left side, there is a list of the folders that each user can access. You can see all your files at once under the 'All company files' and search or filter for the ones you need.
File folders
Organizing files in folders will enable you to restrict or provide access to specific departments, entities, or individual employees if needed. Each folder can contain unlimited files.
Create a new folder

- Set the access rights for this folder by choosing between:

Click View stats to view in detail each signature request for the given document template. For example, you can check:

- The count of pending and completed signature requests
- The count of the active employees that the document has been assigned to
- The signature status for each employee (not started, in progress, completed)
