Frequently Asked Questions

What are custom templates in ExpiryEdge and why do I need them?
Custom templates define the data fields, reminder schedule, and document requirements for each type of compliance item you track. Instead of re-entering configuration every time you add a new certificate, contract, or licence, you create a template once and apply it to every item of that type. Templates ensure consistency and save time when onboarding new compliance obligations.
Can I create templates for industry-specific compliance requirements?
Yes. Custom templates are fully configurable. A healthcare organisation might create templates for CQC registration, clinical staff licences, and medical equipment maintenance. A construction company might have templates for CSCS cards, plant inspection certificates, and site insurance. Templates reflect exactly the fields, documents, and reminder schedules relevant to each compliance type in your industry.
Can I share templates across departments or locations?
Yes. Once a template is created by a system administrator, it is available for use across all teams and locations. When a new team is set up or a new location is onboarded, they can immediately start adding items using the existing template library rather than reconfiguring from scratch.
What custom fields can I add to a template?
ExpiryEdge supports a wide range of custom field types: text, number, date, dropdown selection, multi-select, checkbox, and document attachment fields. You add whatever fields are needed to capture the information relevant to each compliance type - vendor name, policy number, licence issuing authority, certification level, and so on.
Can I update a template and have the changes apply to existing items?
Template updates apply to new items created from the template going forward. Existing items retain their current configuration unless you manually update them. This prevents unintended changes to live compliance records while allowing the template to evolve as requirements change.
