Plox Tip

Combine Email Verification via OTP with analytics to ensure you’re only analyzing real people who confirmed their email, no fake leads, no guesswork.

How to See Who Viewed Your Document#

  • Go to the Documents or Data Rooms section of your dashboard
  • Click the "View Analytics" icon next to the document or data room
  • Scroll through the viewer list to see who accessed your file, along with detailed engagement metrics

Identify each viewer and what they did, view by view

What Viewer Information Is Tracked#

If access controls are enabled, Plox captures:

  • Viewer’s Email Address (when “Require Email” or OTP is turned on)
  • Time of Access
  • Platform / Device Used (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, etc.)
  • Location (City & Country, IP-based)
  • Time Spent on the Document
  • Completion Percentage (How much of the document they actually viewed)

Enable Viewer Identification#

To analyze exactly who is viewing your document, turn on any of these access controls from the three-dot menu → Access Controls:

  • Require Email to View, viewer must enter an email before viewing
  • Email Verification via OTP, confirms the viewer owns the email they entered
  • Restrict Access by Email, only selected users can view the file

Note

Without these enabled, analytics will show anonymous viewer activity only.

Where This Applies#

  • Individual documents
  • Files inside data rooms
  • Files organized within folders
  • Bulk-tracked views across teams or leads

Why This Matters#

  • Qualify leads based on viewing behavior
  • Time your follow-ups when someone reopens a document
  • Track interest in different parts of your pitch or proposal
  • Spot unverified access or unusual locations instantly
