Author Review Date

Organisations often find it useful to review Workflows periodically to ensure they are relevant and follow best practice.

To automate this process, the Workflow Properties includes an Author Review Date, this enables the Workflow owner to generate a reminder to inform the Author that the Workflow is due for review.

A notification displays next to the Workflow, one month before the set date until cleared.
