Understanding Requirement Expiration Options

When setting up requirements, choosing the right expiration option ensures your team stays compliant and up-to-date with necessary certifications and training. Here are the three available options:

There are three options for configuring expirations for requirements. Read below to understand what each option does.

1. Expires N Days After Completion

This setting creates a personalized expiration timeline that starts counting from each individual's completion date. When you set a 365-day expiration period:

  • If Sarah completes her requirement on January 1st, 2025, it remains valid until December 31st, 2025
  • If Mike completes the same requirement on February 15th, 2025, his will be valid until February 14th, 2026

2. Expires Annually on a Certain Date

By selecting January 1st as your annual expiration date, all requirements will expire simultaneously, regardless of when they were completed. This means:

  • A requirement completed on January 15th, 2025, expires January 1st, 2026
  • The same requirement completed on December 1st, 2025, also expires January 1st, 2026

3. Does Not Expire

Choose this option when a requirement needs to be completed just once with no future renewals needed. After completion, it remains permanently valid in the system.
