How does ExpiryEdge organise compliance by department and team?
ExpiryEdge mirrors your organisational hierarchy. You create departments (HR, Finance, Operations, IT) and teams within them. Compliance items are assigned to a specific department or team. Department managers see only their own team's records by default, while compliance officers and administrators see across the entire organisation.
Can I control which teams can see each other's compliance records?
Yes. Role-based permissions control visibility and access. You configure exactly which roles can view, create, edit, and delete records within each department or team. Sensitive compliance records - like executive compensation reviews or legal matters - can be restricted to specific roles while routine operational compliance remains visible to all relevant managers.
How does ExpiryEdge handle compliance when staff move between teams?
When a team member moves to a different department, you update their team assignment in ExpiryEdge. Items assigned to them remain in their original department and can be reassigned to the new owner in that department. The move does not break any existing reminder schedules or lose any historical records.
Can I see a consolidated compliance report across all departments?
Yes. Administrators and compliance officers with organisation-wide access see a consolidated view of compliance status across all departments and teams. You can generate a compliance report filtered by department, team, item type, or time period - giving management a clear picture of where compliance is strong and where attention is needed.
Is there a limit to the number of teams or departments I can create?
No. ExpiryEdge supports unlimited departments and teams. Large enterprise organisations with complex hierarchies - multiple business units, regional offices, and hundreds of teams - can structure their compliance tracking to match the exact shape of their organisation.
