Use the People section to manage the people who receive document requests. A person only needs a name and email address. They do not need a ClearPolicy account.

Edit a person’s details

1

Open the person

Click a person from the People list.
2

Go to Settings

Open the person’s Settings tab.
3

Update details or groups

Edit their name, email address, phone number, or assigned groups.
4

Save changes

Click Save for detail changes. Group changes save after you update the group list.
Open requests keep the name and email from when they were sent. Saving a corrected email in the person’s profile does not change requests that are already out. To reach the recipient at a new address, cancel and resend the affected requests from Requests or the person’s profile.

​
Fix email delivery failures

When a pending request email cannot be delivered, ClearPolicy highlights the person in the Failures filter and shows a delivery follow-up alert on their profile and Settings tab. The alert tells you how many open requests need follow-up and links you to the affected requests. Other open requests for the same person can still receive reminders. From the person’s profile:
  1. Click View requests on the alert to open their request list.
  2. Click Review on an affected request to see delivery details and choose Email is correct — try again or Update email address.
  3. If you updated the person’s email, use Cancel and resend on the request when the new email no longer matches the address on the failed request.
ClearPolicy does not send reminders for a request while it needs delivery follow-up. See manage requests for the full workflow.

​
Use bulk actions

Select one or more people from the People list to show bulk actions.
  • Add to group — Adds the selected people to an existing group.
  • Nudge — Sends reminder emails to selected people who have pending requests.
  • Archive — Moves selected active people out of active lists.
  • Unarchive — Restores selected archived people to active lists.
Nudge only sends reminders to selected people who currently have pending requests.

​
Archive or unarchive a person

Archive someone when they no longer need active requests, but you still need to keep their history. Archived people are removed from active lists and compliance counts. Their past request and attestation records are preserved. To archive or unarchive one person, open their Settings tab and use the action in the danger zone. To archive or unarchive several people, select them from the People list and use the bulk action.

​
Delete a person

Delete is available from the person’s Settings tab when ClearPolicy can safely remove the person. If the person has request history, archive them instead so your audit history stays intact.
Deleting a person removes their record. Archiving is usually the better choice when you need to keep a record of past requests or completions.
