Setting the Expiration Date
Keeping up with the Expiration Date of Documents is very simple with Document Control.
- Set up a Periodic Review period when creating the Document.
- When the Document is Published, the Periodic Review date will be set accordingly. For example:
- A Document is set to Published on July 7th, 2020.
- The Periodic Review period is set to 12 months.
- Then the next Review Date will be July 7th, 2021.
- This will also be the Document's Expiration Date.
- While the Document is Published, the Next Review Date and Expiration Date will be the same.
- Once the Document goes back to Draft and a new Approval Cycle starts:
- The Expiration Date of the Published version will remain the same.
- The Next Review date will be ongoing until the Document reaches its next Published version.
