Assign documents to team members

Once a document is uploaded, you can assign it to individuals or groups. Where document location scoping is available, documents follow location access so only in-scope users and team members are eligible.

  1. Go to Team View, then Team Management › Documents.

  2. Find the document you want to assign, select the three-dot menu •••, then select Assign.

  3. In the Assign document task window, set up the assignment:

    1. Documents: Search for and select one or more document templates (at least one is required).

    2. Recipients: Add recipients individually or by group. You can choose individual team members, All active team members, locations, or departments (at least one is required).

    3. Description: This comes with a default message. Edit it to include guidance or context for signers.

    4. Notifications: Notify recipients via email and Notify recipients via text are both selected by default. At least one must stay selected.

  4. Select Assign.

📌 You need the Assign company documents to active team members permission to assign documents.

?How does signing work when a document requires both a team member and a company signer?

If a document requires both a team member and a company signer, all signers are notified at the same time, unless Signing order is turned on for the document. To learn more, see Set a signing order for signer groups. Once all required signatures are collected, the completed document is saved in the team member’s profile, under the Documents tab.


Location access for documents

📌 Location access for documents is available where document location scoping is turned on for your account.

Documents now have a location scope, so both who can assign a document and who can receive it are controlled by location. This helps multi-location and multi-brand companies keep the right documents with the right teams.

  • Who can assign a document: An HR user can only assign documents within the locations they operate in, set by their location scope under Admin View › Access Control › Users. They can't assign documents outside a user's assigned locations.

  • Who can receive a document: only team members whose job location falls within the document's location scope are eligible. When you assign, team members outside those locations won't be available to select.

Q: Why can't I assign a document to a certain team member?

A: The document has a location scope and the team member's job location is outside it — or the document is outside your own location access. Check the document's locations and your access under Admin View › Access Control › Users. (Location access for documents applies where document location scoping is available.)
