What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
It does not renew anything.
It reminds; the renewal is a human process.
It is not a document management system.
One scan per document record - workspaces, rules and versions are the Documents app.
Notifications go to the employee and the manager.
A wider distribution list is a mail template change, not a setting.
It does not verify a document.
What is recorded is what somebody entered - the app makes the expiry visible, not the authenticity.
