Depending on the nature of the controlled document being stored in the Syncade Document Control and Archiving (DCA) module it may require a periodic review. The periodic review property is set in the configured properties administration dialog for the repository for each document type. Email notifications are also configured for the document owner, periodic reviewer and other users along with the frequency of email. A periodic review period set to “0” will result in no periodic review notifications being sent. Another configuration is how the periodic review period is calculated. Options include basing the calculation on the effective or approved dates and the same period every year. So for example the periodic review date could always be set as March 1st every year regardless of when the periodic review occurred during the year.
