Content Review

Overview

The Review Date metadata field helps you to keep your content up to date by allowing you to schedule reviews for assets. For assets with a Review Date specified:

• The asset's Content Owner will receive upcoming review date notifications via email 7 days leading up to the Review Date.
• If the assets are workflow-enabled, an edit workflow will be started on the Review Date. See Review with Workflow.

Scheduling a Review

On an Asset

To schedule a review on an asset:

1. While viewing an asset, click More > Schedule Review.
2. To schedule a recurring review, enable Review on a Schedule and select an interval from the options provided:
   • Every Month
   • Every 3 Months
   • Every 6 Months
   • Every Year
3. To schedule a single review in the future, disable Review on a Schedule and select a review date from the options provided:
   • 1 month from now
   • 3 months from now
   • 6 months from now
   • 1 year from now
   • Calendar (Date Selection)
4. Click Schedule Review. This will update the asset Review Date metadata field to the specified date. Modifying an item’s Review Date does not change the item’s Last Modified date.

From the Content Up For Review Report

You can also schedule reviews for assets in the Content Up For Review report.

Review with Workflow

If your assets are contained in a workflow-enabled folder, at the scheduled Review Date, the following will happen:

1. The system will initiate an edit-type workflow by choosing a Workflow Definition from those assigned directly to the asset's parent folder or from any inherited by the parent folder from higher-level folders.
2. If no applicable Workflow Definition is available, no review workflow is initiated.
3. If an applicable Workflow Definition is found, the system will assign a user to own it:
   • If there was a previous edit, the user who last edited the asset becomes the owner of the workflow.
   • If there was no previous edit, the user who created the asset becomes the owner of the workflow.
4. Assuming a valid user is located, the workflow is started, otherwise no review workflow takes place.

Marking Assets as Reviewed

Once you've reviewed an asset, you can mark is as reviewed by clicking More > Mark as Reviewed.

If the asset is set to be reviewed on a recurring schedule, the Review Date will be updated to the next appropriate interval. If not, the Review Date will be cleared.
