Document validity
The period during which a document takes effect, managed as part of its record rather than a personal reminder.
The period during which a document remains effective and, where applicable, the date it ceases to be: a contract, permit, license, health registration or power of attorney. The concept is clear; managing it consistently is where operations can fail.
Where it is kept, and why that fails
In the memory of the person handling the matter, a separate spreadsheet or a personal calendar reminder. All depend on that person remaining available and checking the information.
What changes when it becomes data
When validity is a record field, expiry dates can be accessed, ordered and anticipated. The obligation has an owner before the date arrives.
