Alert when a record is about to expire....how?
-
14 iunie 2012 03:12We store PDFs of our employees' professional certifications (certificates, ie "OSHA 30-hr. Safety Course Completion Certificate" in a document library. These certificates expire after X years, and we want the system to issue alerts to the owner of each certificate (as well as alerting our HR Director and the person's boss) that their Certificate will expire in 90 days so it's time to start the renewal process. If we declare these PDFs as records, what else do we need to do to make those alerts happen?

From what it looks that you want an alert to be sent 90 days before the document expires, which could be done using a workflow.?
If yes then you need to add an additional column to the document library e.g.expire; and then from the workflow the moment expire column becomes <=90 (days), it should
trigger an email..stating it to be renewed.
Hope it helps

you can make use of the Retention Policy: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mvpawardprogram/archive/2011/10/03/applying-document-retention-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx , and send out email in workflow triggered by the policy.
after enable the retention policy and specified the expiration date, you can modify your document library view to display the expiration date column.
