Introduction

The Summary Report Recipient set in the Read and Understood Document selectors receives an email at the end of the acknowledgment lifecycle detailing who did or did not acknowledge reading the document. In addition, to assist companies with meeting their compliance needs, a report Excel spreadsheet is produced and attached to that email.

For those customers of enabled the ‘Send Manager a Direct Reports summary’ will also receive an email with an Excel attachment, however this will only show a subset of the full report including those employees that report to the manager.
