How can I see how many credits have been used?

o you need to report how many credits are being used by your company or by your child companies? Depending on your company structure, you'll find your billing overview in different locations.

For those who have parent/child companies:
You can view this information via Super Admin > Group Billing > for your Billing Overview and Transaction History

For those who are standalone accounts: 
You can view this information via Billing > for your Billing Overview and Transaction History 

See below for guidance.


Parent/Child Accounts (aka Group Accounts)

The 'For Period' box lets you select a date range or previous month to view etc and if you are a partner or Group Account you will see a second drop down option where you can choose a particular account to view or All Transactions or My transactions. 

Here you can quickly see how many credits have been used and your credit balance as well as your payment history once you buy credits/plans. 




Standalone Accounts
