Improved

Redesigned Employee Portal

We've rebuilt the employee portal from the ground up so the people who hold documents can see exactly what needs attention and act on it in a few clicks.

What you can do:

  • Start on a home dashboard that leads with an "action required" list of expired, expiring, missing, and rejected items, each with days remaining and a direct button to renew, upload, or re-submit.
  • Work a single My Tasks list that combines pending policy acknowledgements with expiration items, and see the admin's reason when something is returned for changes.
  • Complete onboarding through a guided, multi-step form with a "does not expire" option, custom fields, and saved drafts, then set your own reminder preferences (for example 30, 14, or 7 days ahead).

Employees reach all of this from their portal home screen. It now works on tablet and phone, and it includes a dedicated accessibility pass covering keyboard navigation, visible focus states, screen reader labels, and color contrast.

Your existing documents, renewals, and policy acknowledgements are unchanged.

Improved

We have expanded what you can change in bulk and taught the list views to hold onto your setup, so working through large numbers of records takes far fewer clicks.

What you can do:

  • Bulk edit the Company field on expiration items instead of opening each record one by one.
  • Bulk restore items from the Recycle Bin in a single action, rather than restoring them individually.
  • Click a filter bubble to edit that filter directly, instead of removing it and rebuilding from scratch.
  • Filter by Location on both the expiration item and contact list views, with locations now sorted alphabetically.

Your list views also remember column widths after you navigate away, keep filters and results in place after you close a record, and hold the details panel header visible while you scroll across contacts, expiration items, locations, and equipment. You will now see a confirmation prompt before removing a related item in the preview sidebar, so an accidental click no longer breaks a link.

Your existing views and filters are unchanged.

New

A bell icon in the header now shows an unread count and gives you one place to see everything that needs your attention, without leaving the page you are on.

What you can do:

  • See an unread badge on the bell icon from any page, updating in real time as new activity comes in.

  • Open the dropdown to browse Unread, All, and Trash tabs, with bulk actions to mark several notifications read or clear them at once.

  • Click any notification to jump straight to the record it refers to.

  • Open the full page at /notifications to filter, sort, and page through your history.

  • Mute specific notification types, and receive a daily email digest of anything still unread.

Notifications fire when a reminder is sent on your behalf, when a signature document is completed, declined, expired, or voided, and when a contact replies to a reminder by email or SMS. Look for the bell in the main header. Your existing email reminders are unchanged; this adds a new surface rather than replacing anything.

New

You can now save a filtered version of your expiration items list and return to it anytime, without rebuilding the same filters on every visit.

What you can do:

  • Click "New View" above your expiration items list and give the view a name
  • Apply the filters you want, and Expiration Reminder saves them to that view
  • Return to the view anytime as a tab, alongside built-in views like items due within 60 days and 90 days
  • Rely on each view to update automatically as items are added or renewed

Your new views appear as tabs across the top of your list, next to the built-in ones you already use. Your existing views, filters, records, and reminders are unchanged.

Track your domains and SSL certificates automatically by connecting GoDaddy and DNSimple.

You can now connect your GoDaddy and DNSimple accounts to Expiration Reminder. Once connected, we automatically pull in β€” and keep in sync β€” the expiration dates for:

  • Domains β€” every domain in your GoDaddy or DNSimple account, with its registration expiration date.
  • SSL/TLS certificates β€” the certificates in your account, with their expiration dates.

No more copying renewal dates into a spreadsheet or finding out a certificate expired from an angry customer. The dates come straight from the source and stay current on their own, so an expired domain or certificate never takes a service offline unnoticed.

Synced items are ordinary tracked items, so your existing reminder cadence, notifications, tags, and assignees apply to them automatically.

Get started: open your integrations settings and connect your GoDaddy or DNSimple account. If you manage multiple accounts, you can connect each one.

July 7th, 2026

New

Vehicle and Equipment Assignments

You can now schedule vehicles and equipment to one or more operators across specific time windows. This replaces the single current-assignee field with a full assignment timeline, so you can model shift work, rotating crews, and shared equipment pools.

What you can do:

  • Assign a vehicle or piece of equipment to multiple operators across overlapping or sequential shifts, each with its own start and end date and time, plus an optional comment
  • Schedule assignments in advance, and extend or shorten an active assignment when plans change
  • View past, current, and future assignments on a calendar, filtered per vehicle, per equipment, or per contact

Find it under the new Assignments item in the Vehicles and Equipment sections, and on the Assignments tab of any vehicle or equipment record. Each contact's Vehicles and Equipment tabs now show that person's full assignment history.

Your existing Assigned To filters, grids, exports, and notifications are unchanged.

June 4th, 2026

You can now generate a document from a template, send it to a contact for electronic signature, and have the signed copy filed automatically against the right record. The whole renewal-by-signature loop now happens inside Expiration Reminder.

What you can do:

  • Build reusable contract templates with merge fields that pull in contact, company, item, and expiration details automatically.

  • Send a signature request from an expiration item or from the Signatures page, preview the resolved document, and email a signing link to a contact.

  • Track every request by status (Pending, Signed, Declined, Expired) and open the signed PDF, with a timestamped audit trail for each envelope.

Find it under Documents in the left menu, split into Contract Templates and Signatures. When a document is signed, the PDF is filed back to the expiration item, linked to the related contacts, and the expiration date is renewed automatically. Existing items, contacts, and documents are untouched.

May 26th, 2026

You can now plan, run, and document toolbox talks and safety briefings directly in Expiration Reminder, with attendee sign-in, electronic signatures, and a full audit trail per meeting.

What you can do:

  • Schedule meetings with a date, time, duration, location, shift, and facilitator, then pick attendees from your contact list (filter by tag or location to add a crew at once).

  • Build meeting content three ways: write it yourself, upload a PDF (for example, an SDS or an OSHA bulletin), or generate a starter draft with AI based on the topic.

  • Run a sign-in kiosk on a shared tablet or laptop at the meeting. Each attendee taps their name, signs on screen, and you watch the signature count climb in real time.

  • Track attendance with four states (Expected, Signed, Not Attended, Excused) and reasons, then move the meeting through Draft, Scheduled, In Progress, Pending Signatures, and Completed.

  • Reuse content across meetings with a Topics library, and pull five standard reports: Attendance, Completion by Site, Compliance Gap, Employee History, and Topic Coverage.

Look for Safety Meetings in the main navigation. The Kiosk button is on the index and on each meeting's detail page.

Conductor reminders fire one hour before each scheduled meeting, unsigned-meeting reminders go to attendees once a meeting moves to Pending Signatures, and admins get a completion alert when a meeting closes out.

Safety Meetings is a plan-gated module. If you do not see it in your menu, contact your account manager.

The new Document Library brings every certificate, license, COI, policy, and training record into one organized place in Expiration Reminder, with folders, expiration tracking, and direct links to the people and records they belong to.

What you can do:

  • Upload documents (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, CSV, TXT) with drag-and-drop and multi-file support

  • Organize files into folders and sub-folders (up to 5 levels deep), with breadcrumb navigation

  • Bookmark documents you reference often and switch between All, Bookmarked, and Archived tabs

  • Filter by expiration date, last modified, file format, tags, or uploaded by

  • Link a document to one or more contacts, expiration items, policies, companies, locations, equipment, or vehicles

  • Generate a QR code for any document so field staff can pull it up on a phone

  • Preview PDFs and images directly in the browser, with an Edit view for renaming, replacing the file, updating the description, and managing tags

You will find it in the main navigation under Documents. All attachments you previously uploaded against records (contacts, expiration items, policies, and others) are already part of the library, with their original links intact.

If you delete a folder, its documents and sub-folders are automatically moved up to the parent folder rather than removed, so nothing gets lost by accident.
