Easy method for end user to validate End Date for this Usage?

Im looking for a way to streamline the re-validation process for our end users to be able to update the End Date for this Usage field. 

Context: When assigning assets to end users, we select Usage type for the asset (Primary, Secondary, Loan, etc). For all usage types that aren't Primary, we have the required End Date for this Usage field. Depending on the Usage type, we have set guidelines for the length of time allowed.. for example, Secondary is 12 months at a time, Loan is up to 3 months, etc. 

The issue is, there is currently no easy way for the user to see the End Date field and it's up to the IT / Asset teams to pull regular reports and chase the users to get updated End Dates for their assigned assets.

Im looking to implement a better method for the user to have more ownership of the responsibility to keep this field updated without just having them blanket extend the Usage Date without validating the continued need for the device.. 

I'm open to suggestions on how to best proceed. If anyone has some real world examples of how you may have addressed this in your business, please share. I would be extremely grateful for any assistance or direction on how to best tackle this.

Thanks all!

Hi @Gonzo J ,

 

you can create a Asset usage End date field on Alm_hardware table and write a business rule to fill the Asset usage End date field automatically based on your condition like Secondary is 12 months at a time, Loan is up to 3 months.

 

Also based on that you can trigger the notification email to user  15 Days before  so  Asset usage end date can be updated on that.
