Periodic Review of Documents
The Periodic Review process determines users or groups of users responsible for reviewing a document after a specific time to ensure the document is correct i.e., after every year or two years. Within TI Collaborate, Admins can define the period when a document requires periodic review along with the reviewers.
To complete a periodic review of documents that do not require a change, follow the steps below.
- Click on the View by dropdown and select the Document Life Cycle
view.
- Open the Periodic Review Required folder and select the document.
- Click on the horizontal ellipsis icon (three-dot menu), and select the Check Out option.
- Select an edit method i.e., Online, Offline, and Team Edit.
- Once the edits are made or no change is required click on the Check In button.
- Select the No Change option and add a comment.
- Click on the Save button.
- Navigate to the Grid View and click on the Refresh button.
- Navigate to the History tab documents metadata panel and click on the View all
History button.
- On the All History tab, view all the periodic review actions.
- To view specific actions for a specific period, add a criterion from the Activity Type
dropdown and specify the From and To dates.
Important
- Documents, once effective, can be routed through the periodic review process.
- Online checkout option is recommended for documents that do not require a change.
- For documents that do require changes, the document would be revised per the usual process and sent through the appropriate workflow for approval/ up version. In that case, the periodic next review date would be generated based on that document’s new approval date.
- Periodic Review does not apply to documents that are not configured for the Change Control Workflow at the Document Profile Level.
- If a major or minor version is checked in during a periodic review, the document can be located in the Periodic Review In Progress folder and routed through the approval workflow.
