Capturing Effective Dates

[lc4466]

Hi all,

Does anyone have any tips for how to capture the 'effective' date of particular topics? My use case is that ideally I'd like to be able to run a report on say all topics where the effective date is over a year old in order to initiate a new review cycle. Does anyone have similar processes? What has worked for you using Flare?

We don't use Central or have our review process directly within Flare, in case that impacts the advice.

Thanks!

I have a row with ”last updated” in my topics (published for the reader to see) with the date format YYYY-MM-DD. So I can just search in Flare for say ”Last updated: 2019-12” and get a list with all topics that was last updated in December 2019 (i.e. ”last reviewed in December”). The search results can be exported to CSV. With regular expressions you can probably refine the search to whatever you like to see.

There is probably a smarter way to do this though ...

You can view your project topics in Window's File Explorer. Switch to details view and sort by the date column. Not an elegant, within Flare approach but it does work.
