Enhance document compliance and stay ahead of critical deadlines by setting automated expiration alerts within entity records.

Overview

Setting document expiration dates reduces the risk of lapsed certificates, licenses, and insurance policies before they create client-facing issues. Replacing manual tracking spreadsheets with automated notifications keeps teams proactive and focused on higher-value work.
 
Availability: All customers.
 
Note: Document expiration dates can only be applied to documents stored inside the Minute Book of an entity. Expiry tracking is not available for documents stored in global Documents or outside the Minute Book. Bulk expiration updates are not currently supported.
