Petitions
The Petition Reports let you view and download the petition signatures collected on your organization's website. You can set the timeframe for the reports to show only those signatures collected on a particular day or in a particular week, month, year, or quarter. You can also set the range to Maximum (the lifetime of the site) or specify a Custom date range.
